Monday, June 29th, 2009GET READY FOR THE JUNE 30TH RELEASE OF MOROTE GARI
2-Time Olympian Taraje Williams-Murray and Olympian Rhadi Ferguson, Ph.D. are pleased to announce the release of their new DVD “Ugly Judo 101: Morote Gari”.
When asked about the importance of this DVD, Taraje said, “This DVD has revolutionized the way that Judo is played and has really allowed the Brazilian Jiujitsu Player to get an in depth look at Judo and to see exactly how it differs from wrestling.” Due to the inherent emphasis and focus that judo puts on the standup game in the gi, there are so many things that can be learned by the brazilian jiujitsu player.
Dr. Ferguson chimed in, “To be honest with you my purpose for creating the DVD was to let the judo player and coach know there are some techniques out there that can greatly increase your chance of winning and put you in a great position for beginning your groundwork. There are also moves that equalize the game.”
No matter what their reasoning for creating Morote Gari, it certainly has been a hit amongst the people who purchased in the pre-release.
On the 30th of June Morote Gari will be released to the World and it will be available a Budovideos, Hatashita Sports, Taraje.com and on Rhadi Ferguson’s personal site as well.
If you want to really make an impact on your grappling game Ugly Judo 101: Morote Gari is what you need.
Well, first as one who has bought products in the past from Dr. Rhadi Ferguson I’m almost willing to buy anything he creates on name recognition alone. I’ve never been disappointed with anything he has produced. I’ve always got my monies worth. Now as far as Ugly Judo 101 goes I was not disappointed. I’ve only viewed it once and as with all his products you need to keep going back to reap the full benefits. However, I’ve already learned critical information concerning distance, gripping, same side vs same side vs different side players that I didn’t understand before. Furthermore, the size of opponents is also addressed. Also, Taraje adds essential contributions to the lessons. He not only shares his version of techniques but also humbly adds in lessons learned and how to improve the technique in different scenarios. I like how Rhadi is not afraid to team up with others to produce the best products. There is much to be learned from this material and it is well worth the cost.
Very Respectfully,
Andy Stutts
Dear Rhadi,
I am writing you today about your Ugly Judo 101: Morote Gari. Morote Gari has always been a technique that I have had trouble with. Everyone said it was a wrestling move and not being a wrestler, I couldn’t do the “tackle” right. I always performed Morote Gari incorrectly or at least not well enough to make it one of my favorites. Judokas reading this will understand when I say my Morote Garis didn’t feel right.
To the rest, when you perform a technique correctly (I hesitate to say perfectly) you can feel it. Conversely, you can feel it when you do not perform it correctly. I have purchased other Judo training materials from Rhadi and have seen footage of him doing Morote Gari in tournaments and winning with it. I saw this and decided that it is a technique that I should incorporate into my arsenal as I am no string bean and could easily pull it off against my opponents. Or so I thought.
I tried to incorporate Morote Gari into my training schedule with Uchi Komi and Randori. It still didn’t feel right. I was taking my opponents off their feet and slamming them down, but it still didn’t feel right. I had decided to abandon Morote Gari as a technique and stay with my tried and true techniques that I can do effortlessly and get an Ippon with. Then I heard about Ugly Judo, and Ugly Judo 101 is going to be Morote Gari. Naturally I was interested. I read the e-mails, watched video clips and when Rhadi offered I was sold. I ordered Morote Gari.
I was excited when they arrived, I dove into the DVDs and it became apparent why my Morote Gari didn’t feel right. My timing was off and the distance between my opponent and me wasn’t right. I wasn’t generating enough power and it all showed. Since buying the set my eyes are open to the mistakes I was making. I am correcting them and it shows in practice. Morote Gari is feeling better, I am picking my spots better and it is working.
Rhadi has once again pulled back the curtain and allowed us access to the good stuff, the hidden stuff; the stuff people like me don’t normally have access to. My Judo club is the Goose Bay Judo Club in central Labrador and we are pretty remote. Our club goes to 1 or 2 provincial competitions a year, a year. So you can imagine we don’t have much “outside” influence on our Judo with not much change in our regimen. Rhadi’s DVDs are great because they allow me to infuse new blood, new life into our club’s training. Most DVDs out there these days are BJJ or MMA, not putting those arts down, but I like the fact that Rhadi’s are Judo oriented. They are a window into techniques and strategies that we wouldn’t otherwise have, making our Judo better and making our Judoka better fighters. Thank you Rhadi.
Sincerely,
Frank Russell

I purchased the Ugly Judo 101: Morote Gari DVD as soon as it became available during the pre-release offer. I was excited to receive it and it was well worth the price. First of all I like systematic teaching that breaks down each aspect of the technique and shows not just the overall idea or technique, but also the small details. This is what you and Taraje have done with this DVD and that’s what I’m used to in BJJ. The details are so important. I really liked how you guys showed the traditional version and then your version and Taraje’s version, which are slightly different based on body type and fighting style. This helps everyone to make the necessary adaptations to this technique so that anyone can utilize it.
You mentioned during the pre-release phase to use this technique at a local/regional tournament and we did! One young student who trained with us for only 1 month successfully applied this technique at a top level tournament and went on to get the gold. Some other students got the takedown and/or increased the pressure and fear factor on their opponents. We always bring home medals, but it was great to see the result of this specific DVD and technique, which I had recently purchased. Lastly, it has also helped our students defend the Morote Gari more effectively. When you know the offensive options and how to apply them, it helps you to better defend them as well. I highly recommend this DVD and will also note that this technique has a very high percentage rate of use in most grappling tournaments and of course in MMA. If others don’t study what works and how to defend it, that’s their choice, but we are always looking at what will make us better martial artists. Thanks for releasing this DVD and I look forward to Ugly Judo 102!

The Morote Gari DVD really opened up my eyes to the world of no handed and single handed Judo. As being a Judoka in California nearly everyone relies on the traditional techniques of Judo; by using the Morote Gari I am now able to take brown and black belts down by surprise and wow people with the take downs and spectacular pick up techniques.
Some people criticized my new found success but I say how can you leave a valuable tool such as Dr. Ferguson’s Morote Gari DVD out of your tool box?
It will defiantly change they way you look at not only Judo, but all forms of grappling.
If you want to take your Judo to the next level than PLEASE; do not pass this DVD up!!!!!!

At this point, I’ve only watched the DVD once. I’m trying to find the time to sit down, watch it a second time and take some notes.
That said, I liked the DVD. I think it’s a good solid product. There was some quality information in there that I think will really help me improve my judo and training. I was also really impressed at the depth of the strategy introduced in the DVD, which got me thinking more about the complexities of competition specifically.
In short, I’m really looking forward to implementing the techniques, strategies, and training methods in this DVD. And I plan on buying Ugly Judo 102 on kata guruma.
Peace,

Ugly Judo 101: Morote Gari is Rhadi and Taraje’s first big splash into the world of Judo instructional videos, and boy do they make that splash a big one!
You won’t find many special effects or cutting edge new wave crap on this DVD. What you WILL find is a plethora and a wealth of knowledge straight from the mouths of two Olympians in the sport of Judo. This DVD is a bare bones guide on how to perform Morote Gari in all situations from all grips against any kind of opponent at any time. Taraje and Rhadi are experts on this throw and hold nothing back in this DVD set which includes 2 DVDs and 2 CD Roms.
I am a Nikyu ranked student in the art of Judo and as a somewhat newer entry in the field of advanced competition; I have seen better days when it comes to tournament competition. It just seemed like the other competition, no matter how poorly conditioned or lazy looking, would more often than not come out victorious with me laying on the mat and staring at the ceiling in disbelief. “Maybe my throws aren’t any good anymore” I’d tell myself; “Maybe I just don’t have what it takes to compete in the upper levels of Judo competition.” I knew that I needed something that not only gave me a confidence boost but something that I could use as a new weapon in my arsenal during my personal quest to become as successful as I could in the sport of Judo. Along comes this DVD and I feel like I’ve been blessed with that very weapon.
I have always been an admirer of Rhadi’s ever since his competition days and felt that my style of Judo was very similar to Rhadi’s. I’ve also felt that he and I have a similar work ethic when it comes to fitness; if you ain’t at the gym to workout then you might as well have stayed home with the rest of the lazy-asses. But despite all of our similarities, I always felt that within my Judo game, something was missing. With this DVD, I have been able to plug that hole and insert Morote Gari into my game and expand it greatly! The sheer amount of information that Taraje and Rhadi provide within this DVD is enough for anyone, with the willingness to make the effort, to become a better and more well rounded Judo player. The price of this DVD is a steal compared to the hours and hours of blood and sweat it took not only to make this DVD, but for Taraje and Rhadi to hone this technique over their competitive careers.
I’m not a very good Judo player and I really did buy this DVD looking for something I could use to bring myself up the level of blackbelts who have been playing Judo 3 times longer than I have. It’s a very good DVD and I truly appreciate the hard work you and Taraje put into this project.
If you’re looking to improve your game and equalize the playing field against any manner of competition, Ugly Judo 101: Morote Gari should be the first DVD on your wish list. You won’t regret it.
Looking forward to your next installment of Ugly Judo.

I am a older grappler that had no wrestling experience, so doing a Morote Gari or a double or single leg takedown was a little scary at best. I bought Dr. Rhadi’s DVD and studied it and practiced it with my training partner and used it on one of the young punks and guess what? It worked just like the DOCTOR said it would! The DVD’s where great and entertaining, there were many first rate tips and strategies. I highly recommend this DVD for anyone who wants to bring their JUDO or BJJ game up to par.

I bought this product for my son Fergus who has been competing in B level international comps. He fights -100k so it seemed like a good technique for him - particularly as he gets older (being 28). He took gold in the over 100k in Malta last weekend including taking a 120k player - so he’s still sharp enough. He has yet to use Morote Gari in competition but he has been trying it out in training (and he trains with a lot of UK international players). He’s had some good success in training and his comments to me on the DVD were that this was the best judo training DVD he’s ever seen. He’s very excited about the potential it gives him. Hope this helps. I did watch the DVD myself and almost felt like getting back on the mat to give it a go
All the best
Frank
“I’ve seen so many products on so many throws before but none of them get into the detail of ‘what you need to know to execute the throw’ nearly as well as this. Even if you don’t use or want to use Morote Gari you should check this out to see what details you should be looking for in the techniques you do want to use. Truly first class no BS product”
Casey Jones
Dear Rhadi,
Or should I say, Dr. Ferguson.. and congratulations on earning your Ph.D. Before, I talk about your product, Ugly Judo 101: Morte Gari, I have a challenge for you. Now do the same thing for the rest of the Go kyo no Waza. You might want to start with today’s more popular throws such as kata guruma, Sumi gaeshi, uchi mata, and course the ever popular seoi nage. An in depth look at the judo throwing techniques with their main variations would really help the judo world. Right now, that knowledge is really locked up in the heads of the various judoka that teach these techniques. No matter, how many years you put in studying judo, you just can’t know everything.
Now about Ugly Judo 101: Morote Gari. Whether you use morote gari or not, this DVD set is an excellent addition to any judoka’s library. The main reason is that Dr. Ferguson and Mr. Williams-Murray not only show the technical aspects of this throws, they also explain the tactics and strategy that are required to use and defeat it.
Most judo texts that I read and other judo DVD’s barely touch on the subjects of tactics and strategy, particularly as they relate to a given technique. The other important part of this DVD set is good information on such items as positioning and gripping. I found particularly useful the sections on “no hands” judo and how parrying techniques were used to set up morte gari. The morte gari that Dr. Ferguson and Mr. Williams-Murray show and discuss is good judo. Why? Because judo principles are applied and at a very high level. The judo community will be well served by more products such as this one that go into greater details of the various techniques of judo.

Morote Gari is truly a technique that has to be understood and applied not only in Judo, but in all grappling arts that involve beginning on a neutral standing position. The Morote Gari DVD is an excellent way to help not only apply Morote Gari, but it is also a way to be able defend against it.
Raymond Pintor
I never really used Morote Gari much, except for keeping tall guys from trying to cheat up too close, and I always used hiza guruma or a pile driver as a counter. Morote Gari, Ugly Judo, made me see where my counters were going wrong, gave me better ways to stop Morote Gari, and made me understand no hand judo better. Mentally, it opened up an entirely new world for me.

I enjoyed your DVD and found it very informative. I practice boxing, muay thai and BJJ. I’m a novice at Judo and takedowns in general but did learn quite a bit from your DVD. Thank you.

Hi There,
I would be more than happy to tell you about my experience with Ugly Judo 101: Morote Gari. I purchased this DVD for my husband, a retired law enforcement officer, who is currently training several individuals in the area of personal protection. In the last year or two, he has purchased and reviewed hundreds of DVDs in the area of self defense and self protection. When I asked him how he liked your product… he stated: “Good, no… very good! Very informative, easy to understand, an excellent choice. Of all the products I have purchased, it rates in the top 5%.”
So there you have it, a resounding thumbs up for your DVD. Hope this is helpful.
All the Best,
Kimberly Rose
This is Luis Soto , my mother Margaret purchased the DVD For me and my daughter. My daughter is 6 years old and has been doing BJJ for 8 months now. We decided to throw her in a couple local judo tournaments around AZ. She got second in both, but in the second tournament she used Morote Gari in the opening seconds and you could of heard a pin drop. People where pissed. I heard comment from the crowd “did she just hit a double leg?” Anyways she then hit an Osoto Gari right after that and ended the match.
This definitely works, the girl she did it on beat her twice both matches going the distance in the tournament before. She comes out using Morote Gari and beats the same girl within I’d say 20 seconds. Even if you don’t win with it its like you and Taraje say, it’s still useful because of the “intimidation factor”. My daughter loves it and has been using it in BJJ alot. Thank you so much for sharing this information and we look forward to Ugly Judo 102.
Thanks,
Luis Soto
Hey! I recently ordered the Morote Gari DVDs and all I have to say is that it was out of this world awesome! Since watching the videos and putting to practice the techniques and drills taught in them, I’ve been slamming people both in the dojo and in tournaments with Morote Gari, something that, when I’ve tried attempting in the past, had worked very few to almost no times! Excellent video series with the best instruction there is! Highly recommended. -Alan
Well, if you weren’t ready before, we know you are ready now.
The 30th of June will be here soon and so will our anniversary and the World Premiere Release of “Ugly Judo 101: Morote Gari”
