For those of you with a background in judo/JJJ, do you use any typical judo ne waza submissions/pins not frequently seen in BJJ? If so, which ones? I myself like to go for the ashi gatame when attacking the turtle, for example.

I started judo after BJJ, so honestly my newaza game is pretty much just doing the thing in BJJ I know are allowed in Judo. I wouldn't really say I have a "judo" ground game.

Ude sankkaku / yoko are not seen so much in BJJ, so I am a big fan of those.

Kesa Gatame is also another position that doesn't get as much love in BJJ but I use from Judo.

The one I use a ton though is koshi jime. I love that damn choke - most never see it coming till it's waaay too late.

Can you post a video of the first one(s) you mentioned?

I use kesa variations all the time (kuzure/ushiro/makura, hon not so much).

Koshi jime is just a clock choke/relógio if I'm not mistaken. I love it too, but I think it's quite common in BJJ. In fact, I teach it all the time to beginners.

I will find a video or the back and side triangle for sure sir.

as for clock choke, I should clarify - the version I like is the traditional judo one where 1 hand is controlling bad guy's wrist from underhook and the other hand is across throat choking while hip thrusts in.

But you are correct, the clock choke is used quite a bit sir, apologies for not being more clear in my description.

Are these really rare? I see and do them all the time. Also never seen either in my judo classes. Admittedly, I've only been training in Judo for about 2 years.

Did you mean sankaku jime from the back and side control or are you talking about anything else?

I've always done the clock choke as you just described, but I've seen judo guys grabbing the knee instead of the wrist and I thought that was the most common version in judo.

yes sir, back triangle and side triangle. I guess I don't see many of the folks I train with doing either, and I haven't seen a ton in comps etc, but that's only 7 years in BJJ,

I do them both sometimes, but I guess you're right, I don't see them often at least where I train. I like going for mounted triangles and side triangles from kesa stepping over the near side arm and head with one leg or the other depending on where I have my opponent's arm. There's another triangle I see judo guys do all the time when attacking the turtle that I should try sometime.

The only judo thing I took away from my few years doing it was applying pressure via scarf hold but it’s definitely one of my go-tos when someone is too energetic.

I also love to apply makura and keep people warm when it's chilly out. Everyone needs a good scarf.

Lung choke is now my favorite name for a submission, and I don't even know what it is. Zoltan Bathory Seminar at my gym? I like this idea!

This is the sub that Dean Lister did to Josh Barnett back in the day Professor. From kesa gatame you cradle their head and roll up onto them so it just gets tighter and tighter as they breathe. It feels like you are drowning on land. Not the most pleasant.

I think I have heard of it called the Animal Choke from Kurt Osiander as well.

I had a team mate who used to attack classic Judo style sankaku's against the turtle with surprising effectiveness, especially after making a few adaptations for Jiu Jitsu! Another team mate has a devastating Kesagatame which has influenced me to develop a strong and crushing Kesagatame too. A lot of Jiu Jitsu people who are unfamiliar with how effective the position can be end up tapping to the chest compression/suffocation/choke. I prefer to use it to wear down spazzy white and blue belts. ;-)

I think it was Barnett who gets lister. Such a good match. This was the match that inspired me to work on playing heavier while I’m on top

After decades of judo I made a real point to learn bjj on it's own. Later on I started to incorporate my judo newaza back into my game. Namely the belt tie up mentioned before from Yoko sankaku, and I love to enter it from side control. It really is a strong position. I also tend to use alot or pressure from side control I learned from Judo. My judo coach trained with Kashiwazaki extensively so his game is definitely shown in my game whether I'm training judo or bjj. I also use alot of judo grip breaks when attacking the cross arm lock.

I have an entire YouTube channel devoted to this topic. Here's a sample: https://www.youtube.com/w[...]cJlMHhR_aI

I was a Judo BB for roundabout 20 years before starting BJJ. That is my background.
My newaza was a kind of base but not in a technical way.
I restructured my groundgame completely and it is more my posture and the understanding of positions and transitions which helped me and are still part of my JJ.
But for example pinholder-positions are a lot more a central part of my game than for many other JJ-practitioners I know (some would say it is a real pain in the ass to stuck in my side-control).
To me it is often like: passing- pinholder- sub attempt- another pinholder- another sub attempt- another pinholder and so on…
However, it is more the structure and less special techniques.💁🏻‍♂️
