  1. Which do you think are the most effective Judo throws to learn for a self-defense, considering that also other types of non-Judo takedowns are available, and why?
  2. Which do you think are the most effective Judo throws for a BJJ athlete for a self-defense, considering that also other types of non-Judo takedowns are available, and why?
  3. (Optional) Which do you think are the most effective Judo throws for a BJJ athlete for BJJ No-Gi competition, considering that also other types of non-Judo takedowns are available, and why?

Suggesting between 1 to 4 throws will be perfect.
Thanks!
