sorry i dontknow whole lot about judo but
what are some of the judo takedowns that can be effective without gi?(like in mma)
Watch Karo against Strasser. he is a good example of how to use judo with no gi.
Kharitonov pulled an o garuma no gi on ninja.
Remember the dogi makes some throws safer as well. Take an osoto gari - the gi getting pushed up against the face from under the chin makes the "no gi" version = a slam under the chin forcing the head up and over and down = safer for regular practice.
The movements are the same.
Uchi-mata, Harai, Ippon Seoi...
Lots of throws.
You'll honestly find the throws if you just train standing.

tsurikomigoshi
ashiguruma
Sumi-otoshi
Uki-otoshi

once a month. on the dot.
If you just get together with your Judo buddies and just play around with no gi randori, you'll probably find the ones that work for you.
IMHO.
uchimatafan,
How do you throw a sode without a sleeve to grip?
Sounds like he is joking...
