As I was finishing my latest book, what started as "Combat
Judo" became something else entirely.
The Evolution from Combat Judo to Fighting Judo
Combat Judo sounds like a collection of tactical responses.
It suggests a system of "if they do X, you do Y"—a catalog of
techniques designed for specific situations.
Fighting Judo is a completely different animal.
It captures the raw, unpredictable, chaotic nature of a real
exchange—whether it happens on the mat or on the asphalt.....this book covers it. It acknowledges a
simple truth: no matter where it occurs, a fight is still a fight. Some situations have rules and some absolutely do not!
Fighting Judo bridges the gap between sport and street. It
goes beyond technique and explores timing, pressure, aggression, adaptation,
and the realities of physical conflict. It takes Judo out of the textbook and
places it squarely in the blood, sweat, and uncertainty of reality. How to deal with what happens on the mats in a tournament and how to deal with what happens outside in the street.
In the end, the book became more than a discussion of fighting applications. It became a blueprint for understanding how Judo functions in situations on the mat and on the asphalt.
And that's why the title Combat Judo became Fighting Judo.
Coming soon.
