Awa Samah Camara's feet are amazing 😍

I am mystified. 50 Years ago I started playing judo. We played Ippon Judo in those days. Now it seems that the rules have gotten so technical that it seems that mastery of the rules is as important as technique. The shidos seemed quite arbitrary to me. Jack held his own. I would be surprised if Hashimoto was satisfied by winning by shido.

Is this kid Koga’s son? THE Koga I meant.

If only Uta would learn to dominate the grip, she would be one of the greatest judokas ever.

Mimi Huh is so beautiful.

I completely agree, Judo is exceptional for self defence but I just wish there were more dojos that taught more about the usage of judo in self defense as opposed to having a strictly competition approach. I'm an old fellow and competition days are well behind me and I want to practice judo as an art that helps with self defense but its such a rarity to find a dojo that takes a self defense approach to learning. I think teaching somethings sometimes like incorporating atemiwaza as an aid to kuzushi will help solidify judos role in self defence.

Mashallah ,great Idriss

I thought Jack did well and kept the pace whole time. Hate that it had to end in shidos

5:08

damn paulina shouldn't have walked out of that attack. she had a good foot sweep set up

Mimi Huh "represents" South Korea, but she is "from" Japan.

Driss Messaoud Is good algeria judoka

tizie is tough.

Nice "back".

Maruyama, world champion, my favorite judoka, (alongside Ono and Inoue), against Yondonperenlei, the Mongolian star. Mongolian judo is so fascinating and unorthodox, alongside Georgian Judo! I am not a fan, but the grip fight showed how Maruyama had a hard time! I am so glad to have seen Abe v.s Maruyama from beginning to end, and I am still sad that Maruyama didn’t make it to the Olympics, but this fight shows the reason why! Abe has fewer technique diversity compared to Maruyama but he is so good with his grip fighting that in the end, the stronger gripper is usually the winner. Abe has O Soto Gari, Sode Tsuri Komi Goshi, Tai Otoshi, Ko Uchi Gari, Seoi Nage and O Goshi. However, notice that he has no throws to his left side, just like the Living Legend Kosei Inoue Maruyama has Uchimata, Tomoe Nage, Tai Otoshi on his left side, Ippon Seoi Nage, Tsuri Komi Goshi on his right side and so many variations in between!!! The problem is here: Maruyama relies too much on his Uchimata, and that’s why he didn’t perform as well as he should have. Training with Ono, I’m not worried for him. He can still shine and I hope he will find a way to qualify for 2024 Olympics in Paris, which is highly unlikely! Anyway, as usual, great breakdown! Keep it up 😁

A great final, in Kenka Yotsu (hehe) with two judo beasts! Shishime with her signature Uchimata and nasty cross grip O Soto Gari, against Abe Uta, Olympic champion and prodige. Grip fighting was excellent from both of them, and they fought multiple times in final.(Uta landed a superb Uchimata against Shishime in Baku if I remember correctly, it was crazy!) Notice how Shishime had no problem having the outside grip for her tsurite, that’s because she is used to Abe’s inside grip! Uchimata, along with Ippon Seoi Nage and some Ashi Waza, is in my opinion one of the few techniques in which the outside grip is a better option than the inside grip! In the end, winning by shidos is still a bummer, but it was a great fight Great breakdown, keep it up 😁

Koga, from what I heard, is actually a Judo teacher, specialized with kids pedagogy! To see him handle so well against Hashimoto, a world champion, is phenomenal. Another Kenka Yotsu final, yaaay 😁😁😁 Hashimoto has in my opinion been on a slow decline. He is negative gripping, he wins with Shidos way more than throws, he is way less proactive than when he was shining in Paris in 2017 and his great performance des though out the times pre-COVID has never made a return since. Hayato leads with the top grip and the Uchimata is clearly an option for his body type. That’s without considering the fact that he could land a nasty O Soto Gari, with Hashimoto backing off when he tries to put that top grip! In the end Hashimoto won, but props to Hayato! Great breakdown, keep it up!

Nagase, an Ashi Waza technician and Olympic champion, struggled to keep up with Kohara’s aggressiveness. It’s always a pleasure to see a Kenya Yotsu gold final match. In my opinion, this is where you see the epitome of Judo. Anyway, Kohara’s Kimi Kata is phenomenal, he was clearly leading the fight! And as you know, without a good grip, you can’t throw! Great breakdown, keep it up!

Fujiwara seemed pretty unsure of his gameplan. With that over the top cross grip on the Kohara’s left shoulder, he could have done Hikikomi Gaeshi or even Ko Uchi Makikomi. However cross gripping does open the door far a nasty Tai Otoshi or Sode Tsuri Komi Goshi by the opponent. Great breakdown. Keep it up!

Hashimoto is way too negative in his fighting. However he has great posture, great grip fighting and he is really strategic on the mat. He has Tai Otoshi, Seoi Nage and Sode Tsuri Komi Goshi on both sides, and a great faking De Ashi Harai (look at the match against Basile in Osaka if I remember correctly) Anyway, keep up the great breakdowns!

I think ,Nicolas was confused because,he do not practiced with left handed players. Nicolas could be a great judoka,no doubt!😊

is that Huy I hear on the voice over?

You are doing God’s work here with these 🤘🏼

Not familiar with judo technics? Address judoka with their last name

Thanks for the positive comments towards Jack

Yesset Kuanov had a wazari,but the referees dont give him a wazari

Nice osaekomi

Good thought again. But I think Jessica did it perfect. It is her newaza strategy often. Her opponents know it but they can't defence it as here. I think she did it perfect as here. When she started to control Irem's right hand by her legs I know how it will finish. She can to do this impresive transition in newaza and it really nice to watch it.

Look at the stance of Axus, lefty going with right hand to grab the right collar just to put his left arm over the back : easy position for de ashi and sumigaeshi, easy but brillant kumi kata strategy for very tall guys like he's ... Je vais te piquer ça ;--)

Your thoughts are very interesting but I think you can uses very hard it in this situation. Look how Chelsie perfect doing this technique. Her sankaku is very strong and tight. And look her opponent how is very tired...I think she has not thoughs on real escape and seconds on the board ticking and ticking...Generaly I think if you do escape from this position it is big mistake of Tori.

Interesting thought. But I think that Mascha couldn't escape here. Firstly: tate shio by Geffen is really perfect I think. Second: first wazari by ochu gari Gefen got 10 seconds left in the match and immediately closed her opponent to perfect osaekomi. Match was already decided and defence by Mascha would have no sence at the time.

Love Margaux

Glad to see you back

Who won this match ???

Furt pe faţā !!!!!
