Watch UFC veteran Karo Parisyan demonstrate Uchi-Mata, a traditional Judo throw. As Parisyan demonstrates, it can be done well with no gi, meaning that it's very applicable to self-defense or combatives applications. More Parisyan at GroundFighter.com.I've posted before (see below) about how well Judo can work in self-defense, and how you rarely see it in the current crop of MMA fighters. This is an excellent representation of how you can make it work in MMA, or on the street.
