Loving the demonstration and the techniques will be using this in my dojo going forward.

Almost had my knee blown out last week in my BJJ class so I decided to look the technique up. You answered my question at the very beginning. 😀

Nice details! Thanks.

Horse said mount up! Next stop my super kouchi gari😂

excellente from both of u if you add responses and responses to responses..... amazing

Great, listen. Please do continue with the podcast

Thanks a lot

Great session Sensei...

Thanks for posting this, really clear and useful

Respect to you and your journey so far, a great inspiration for a lot of judoka’s who are maybe still in the shadows but love the sport thanks to you guy’s. Best regards from the Netherlands,

Excellent demonstration. Covered every detail

❤

This is gold. I found this really helpful.

how often do you see your carpenter?

❤

Great demonstration showcasing harai goshi actually comes from uki goshi and not from o goshi. It's very clear. Thanks sensei.

These are great thanks sensei

Time stamp your episodes so people can see the topics talked about over the 2 hour period.

If you're wondering if this technique is dangerous consider that Scorpion used in Mortal Kombat 2 lol.

Such an interesting conversation I’m really eager to start judo training Had a couple of concerns like the stuff Jiu jitsu athletes getting staff infection etc But I think at least it isn’t so bad on the spine and knees like jiu jitsu because it’s more standing up than rolling on the ground for the majority of time On the other hand thanks to my office job somehow got me nagging shoulder issue At the moment I’m recovering with expander workouts it really works wonders

Hi sensei, I’ve been learning a lot from your videos! I’m currently in the Kodokan in Tokyo as a 3rd kyu, and your more conceptual videos about Judo BASICS (kuzushi, posture, etc) have been invaluable. I was wondering if you could make a video or two covering similar basic principles in ne-waza? I feel like while I know “techniques,” (the Kodokan is extremely good at teaching them), I still don’t grasp the fundamental principles of newaza, so I’m struggling.

Knee killer 😅

Thank you Sampson, i wish there were more teachers like you

Great 👍

Wonderful video. thank you. I am an old guy now but I remember, as an Irish judoka, competing in the British Open in '84. Irish judo back then was all muscle and heart with poor technique but we absolutely loved it even though frustrated with our lack of good technique. I remember being in awe of the BJC guys who had impeccable technique and who were very successful. What would have happened to Irish judo if it had come under the influence of the BJC? I think it would have taken off like a rocket to be honest. It made me sad to hear you guys discuss how great talent and potential is knobbled by bureaucratic egos. I remember Neil Adams being a big 'star' back then and it seems ironic, that as a commentator today, he seems to be a big supporter of the complexity of competition rules that, for me, is emasculating judo as an art form. Anyway, thank you guys, for your passion and hard work that is helping to show the purity and beauty of Judo as a wonderful martial art. Perhaps it will take future generations to learn from your inspiration and overcome the political mindset that is killing the full integration of getting everybody involved and being able to contribute. The more people and mindsets get involved then we become greater than the sum of the parts. Keep going! Don't stop! Even though I don't do judo any more I love your channel which I recently discovered.

Another mistake is by stopping others from making progress

Thank you for the great interview I am also of the opinion that judo is moving in the wrong direction in many areas, with too much emphasis on performance, performance, performance, which does not meet the standards of Jigoro Kano, who was and is primarily about educating better people, not just in sports , judo, senses but also to convey values I am very excited about the further parts of the interview

Bring back all the moves that have been removed from modern judo

Wonderful technique. My old judo coach Joe Glynn who is still on the mat at over 90 years young used to teach this kind of ground work. I often wondered if it was from Kosen Judo. I love this channel. Thank you!

Part 2 please

i just fell down like gorilla tag 😂

Fantastic 🤩

Wonderful video! Thank you ever so much!

Fantastic discussion. Thank you both for putting this together. Love your outlook on things. Very fortunate to train with you in Buxton earlier this year. Fantastic martial artists and finer people! All the best

Excellent talk! Love to hear more on whatever topics you think are most important. Your technique videos have helped a ton, but more philosophical talks about the mental aspects of judo would be great 👍🏼

Would you have to repair the back patch if the top corner is torn for a competion

What a fantastic video, much appreciated to both of you,😊 the memories came flooding back I was very fortunate 30 years ago to train under Sampson ( Sobel Judo club) I was there for 2 years , it was one of the best experiences of my life ,looking back with fond memories. ( I am 63 now) Sampson was an incredible teacher, so passionate and inspiring. He always gave 100 % to his students no matter who you were from a novice to a black belt treated everyone the same! , then as I progressed i got invited to join in on Thursday night and watch advanced training methods took my judo to a new level .it was something else ! His methods of teaching was exceptional the various throws, ground work ,explaining in detail every aspect so beginners like me would also understand was a big part of the club,😊. I never knew his background ( until I watched the video, Wow brilliant can't wait to the next installment ) Its a shame politics got in the way of his career, but the man Sampson is, it didn’t stop him from sharing his vast knowledge and experience, giving back to others, Its whats matters, his life has touch so many. Fabulous 👌

Judo helped me in my life

This is a great video much Respect From Anaheim California .....I'm also a black belt in Judo

Do you need approval from some association to start a judo club in the UK or is it optional? Would be nice to do a video about all the legal requirements and hurdles for those who have the ambition of opening one. Would also be nice to learn more about British Judo and what it takes to compete in the British Nationals.

Thank you for this great podcast! From my own experience, the USA has Exactly the same problems in Judo as the UK if not worse. Please keep up with your exceptional content.

Great podcast guys thank you😊

What a fascinating story of your life, your father sounds a brave man, a hero. I really appreciate your work as a Jiu Jitsu practitioner, your videos are fantastic. Ef haristo

Very inspiring conversation.

Thanks for blessing my KZbin feed 😎 good stuff

So slick

What an episode!! Truly enjoyable storytelling and words of wisdom. One thing I will say is that loyalty & gratitude are true signatures of a person. A trait not often seen or easily discarded for ambition, “opportunity” or “money” these days. Despite regrets of not going down the Olympic route, you have a business, a family, a son who shares your passion, built up a special Judo club with appreciative, capable & very talented students. Not too many can say this when they look back at their path. Your loyalty, gratitude & respect for your Sensei & organisation has been a blessing and not a curse. You have been rewarded. It’s important younger viewers, especially judokas, watching this appreciate the significance of loyalty & gratitude. More doors & blessings will indeed open up to you too. Looking forward to the next episode!!

How humble this guy is....I wanted to be Bruce lee as everyone in those time s ,then went too do some Marital Arts ....Maintaining this is this man's also proven Humble commitment. Commitment proved his winning self and Achievement . Thank for given me a early Christmas Present of this , which many fail...Merry Xmas too you Both

What a great episode, and a great new addition to the Judo podcast ecosystem 😊 Long may it continue 🎉
