JI- What effect do you think (if any) the spread of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu over the last decade has had on Judo and Judo players?
MS- ON the highest level I do not think the BJJ has had much effect at all. Although the ground game in Judo is almost the same techniques as in BJJ (arm and chokes) the Judo Game is a much faster pace standing and also on the ground. Because of the rules we must make something happen on the ground in 20 seconds or less. That changes your strategy and forces you to be much more aggressive and open on the mat. However, on a more beginner and intermediate level you can learn and apply many of the BJJ ground techniques and combinations much faster. I think if a person can cross train now then in the long term your Judo Game will be much stronger. This goes visa versa for BJJ fighters. Learn the gripping and standing as a beginner now, and in the long run your game will improve.
JI- What do you think of modern MMA now that it has evolved from a spectacle to more of a legitimate sport?
MS- I think Modern MMA opens everyone's eyes to the fact that just because you are tough in one sport or Martial art unless you have experience in striking and ground your chances are much lower. A complete fighter must train in all aspects. In the end the one with technique, the biggest Heart and fighting spirit will win!
JI- What do you think of the idea that MMA provides an arena for Judoka to go into after or instead of the Olympics? Do you think that such exposure is good or bad for Judo in particular?
MS- It would be like asking a ping pong player to enter a Tennis match. I think Judo's advantage is the fact it is an Olympic Sport with 180 countries participating in Judo. MMA does not come close to that yet. It's hard for Americans to understand just how big Judo is until you travel to Europe or Japan. Esecially with the craze over UFC etc in the states. Even in Brazil where BJJ is from Judo is very big and popular with kids. They are too different arenas. Put a Judo uniform on the toughest MMA fighter and ask him to enter into a Judo match with Judo rules and you will see a very frustrated fighter. If a good Judo fighter wants to try the MMA ring he better train for at least 1 yr in striking and grappling with no gi before entering the ring.
