Hey guys,

I saw a video of Judo throws and technigues on here a while ago and now I can't find it. There was a black, bold guy in the video, former Olympian if I remember correctly (I hope it wasn't Cormier lol). He was demonstrating some throws using slippers on the ground. Any help locating that video would be appreciated. Or a name of that guy would be cool too.

Thanks!

Question for the BJJ guys. I went to the takedownexpert.com site and noticed it stated -

Takedowns: Remember 90% of fights end up on the ground but 100% of fights start on the feet! The guy who gets top position wins 75% of BJJ matches. Daniel’s Takedown instruction is as good as any in the world!

Think that is accurate? 75% are won by the guy in the top position? Seems like a very random number, just wondering from people who have been to more competitions than I.

Thanks alpha and gjbridges, but its not the guy i'm looking for.

It's driving me nuts now, I should've saved the video. I really liked hes explanation on how to come in to position to throw using only slippers on the ground. He was wearing a blue GI in the video (i know, i know)

Was it David Williams? He doesn't wear a blue gi, but he does use slippers to demonstrate footwork.

According to these stats, it looks like over 75% of matches are won by the person who scores first, so maybe there is something to his claim.

Warlus - That link has all kinds of stats. 1 chart which shows that people who pull guard score the 1st points 72%. People who pull guard win the match 57% of the time.

At the one Naga event I went to my perception was that a ton of people were pulling guard and winning. I've only been to one event but that 75% seemed crazy to me. Unless pulling guard = a takedown?
