KNOW YOUR JUDO WELL SERIES.... THE SCORPION LOCK...its like an ude garami for your leg?

Im gonna start throwing up videos now and again of techniques that we don't see in Olympic Judo and therefore, the average Judo player will most likely not have practiced.

The problem is, that once conditioned into a framework over a generation or two, many ideas and techniques can be forgotten and then become alien to a style.

If your instructor says there are no leglocks, hip locks, spine locks, shin or forearm locks, facelocks, wrist locks, striking, weapons or nerve holds and strikes in Judo then there is a few possibilities....

A) They are aware but trying to cover up a lack of knowledge

B) They're trying to sell you something

C) (Most Commonly) Don't know Judo

This isn't hidden information. There's plenty of books and resources out there.

If you'd like to KNOW YOUR JUDO WELL come down for a free trial lesson and experience Universal Judo for yourself

This video was from a Hip Lock session. This particular technique forces a hip lock, a lateral knee lock and calf crush whilst also punishing the external Femural nerve (dead leg spot).

Enjoy!!

🥋 Technical Tuesday: Know Your Judo Well

Master the Makikomi

Want to shut down your opponent's hand fighting and score big?

In this clip from our seminar on 26 July 2026, special guest Dave Faulkner breaks down a high-percentage transition from the Russian arm tie into a powerful Makikomi takedown.

Key Takeaways:

Dominate the Tie:
Use the Russian arm tie to isolate the limb and compromise their posture.

Create the Angle:
Clear the hands during the hand fighting exchange to open up the throwing lane.

Commit to the Roll:
Secure the Backgrip and use your body weight to drive through the finish.

Perfect details from an incredible seminar. Drill this tonight on the mats! JudoTechnique HandFighting JudoFamily
