Chadi VS Japanese black belts (sparring/Randori) 大阪柔道の乱取り

[@NickKano11]

Takes me back to my trip to Tokyo Kodokan just before the Pandemic. The Ashi Waza there is next level. When you get thrown by a European you see it coming. With Japanese Ashi Waza however all of a sudden you’re looking up at the ceiling thinking “WTF just happened???”

[@Chadi]

I was awestruck

[@rangelo8908]

I had the same experience there with Ashi Waza as well. Insanely good. I miss it dearly.

[@yogi8337]

They have good technique, full understanding of technique itself, west judoka kuzushi usually using more pull-push with brute strenght to execute, it's different in kodokan, very eye opening

[@jestfullgremblim8002]

@@yogi8337 true, Japanese Judo sticks to the original concept of not using brute force (a lot) The Russians in the other hand, do both. They will try to get good technique but they will still use a lot of their strenght in order ti win, such powerful opponents/partners.

[@thejapanarchocommunist]

Also, at $60 to go, its ridiculously cheap.

[@felipemartinez1275]

Congratulations, Chadi! No doubt, a dream come true for any judoka, doing randori at the Kodokan! Thank you so much for sharing.

You’re living my dream sir. One day I’ll train there and soak up some of that knowledge. We have a black belt at our club who trained in Japan for a bit and his ashi waza is absolutely next level. I can only imagine what it’s like to train with those guys.

[@maitrekano]

great chadi , you didnt lose , you learned . love it

[@Chadi]

Thank you Cherif

[@Versace117]

actually japanese don t like this sentence. After losing my first competition in japan i said the same thing, and my sensei said : "no, you lost, you have to admit it and face it". In japan they say that by saying that, it s a way for us to twist the words in order to escape from the fact that we lost, But you will start learning only after having the humility to say that you lost. In reality : we lose , and from this loss we will learn .

[@johndrake5467]

Wow! Props to you for putting up of a video of you getting thrown around like a rag doll. Not everyone's ego could handle that.

[@frederickmorton275]

loved the video! You have done very well. Lets not forget the size disparity- sparring with heavier partners even of same skill level is always more challenging. Its impressive how relax they are and when they go for something their grips, body positioning and 100% commitment to the throw are all in sync. Keep it up man, great content

[@jaraman9]

Chadi! Great content as always👍. As I watch some of these shots in slow motion and I notice the timing of their entry the minute they know your heels are off the ground. It’s very nice to watch. And it’s so great that you can record your randori and do a breakdown for yourself afterwards. I am very excited what this trip will do to your martial arts journey !❤️

[@Chadi]

Theyre amazing

[@AnGhaeilge]

Lovely stuff. We've all been there when you go up against a high level judoka, they feel unmovable and their grips are so strong and unbreakable. It just feels like no matter what you try, you can't get them to budge.

[@sardalamit]

More Chadi! More! Loved this.

[@Chadi]

[@insearchoftheperfectwatch934]

Thank you for posting this! I thought I was the only one who this happens to. All I can do is do exactly what you do which is keep showing up and learn for my opponents. The thing I love about Judo is that after the defeat me they do explain to me what I did wrong.

Hey Chadi, Congratulations on coming to Japan! You’re in for an absolute treat training in Japan regularly. The black belt test is extremely fun here too, considering just how strong some of the junior high schoolers and high schoolers actually are.

I enjoy your channel. I grew up in Kyoto, finished my education in Japan and now live in the U.S. I Appreciate your love for the art and the way you analyze the classical Judo. it's sad to see the current trend to value a martial art by its effectiveness in MMA competition.

[@magente8051]

Hi Chad, your narration is fun. Well that was a one-hop uchimata, hard to anticipate from anyone. If it's any consolation , the great Koga in the All-Japan's fought heavier weights primarily with grips, not throws. Neil Adams has a good story of sparring Yamashita at the ?Budokwai ..Like a gentleman at first , to his detriment, then ramping up on the gripfighting for a stalemate,- ie. hopping in unison across a gym. Finally, good ol' Mike Swain writes of surviving his youthful Japan training days with the same lightning- quick ouchi gari that he developed there and beat Koga with for the World's. Full circle. Try Tenri if you have a chance.

[@TheRealBolognaBreath]

Just had my first competition at +100kg (weighed in at 105kgs) this week, I used to compete at -90kgs. Judoka in the +100kgs category are something else - as a brown belt, they made me feel like my Judo was nonexistent. It was quite the humbling experience for me.

[@kimonowolf]

There is a guy in my dojo, a young guy, but a black belt and +100, and as you eloquently put it, he makes me feel like Judo doesn't exist.

Back in the 80s I trained judo with a couple biracial guys that had never been to their ancestral homeland of Japan and were terribly excited to visit as teenagers. Our Sensei set them up with a Judo Club and when they returned to the states their report was pretty impressive... they said the Japanese didn't seem to give a damn about the martial arts traditions/ observances and treated Judo like a hardcore athletic sport whereas in the United States we were far far more into kata and traditional observances. You could see the shock in their eyes as they related their stories of Hardcore athletic attitudes more akin to football or boxing then traditional martial arts. The next year they went to Korea for Taekwondo and the report was exactly the same... How curious that the United States "appropriates" Asian martial arts so differently than the Asians who treat it more like "regular sport"

[@EthanNoble]

That’s fascinating! With Bushido culture you’d think it would be the other way around but it appears Judo is outside of that dynamic

[@eastafrika728]

[@slavicvolk]

We learn this style of judo but I prefer the over the back style

[@TheReverb1]

I want to say 2 things: 1- being big is a huge advantage in many situations; for example these 2- all the blah blah that Brazil judo or whatever mixed sports in top of the World whatever, here you see that being big strong and with solid basic techniques is all what is needed.

[@kenanpalangic7539]

I would suggest you work on your posture and movement. Standing in one place with your legs spread wide is an invitation to Uchimata (or any other throw for that matter). Perhaps repositioning your posture in a way that your hip is pointing towards the opponent (i.e. not exposing your whole torso to an attack) and constantly moving, would help your defence. Also, I would strongly suggest you start working on opposite side drop Seoinage/Seoi Otoshi against heawyweight opponents. Sacrificial throws against a person twice your size may not be as effective. Also, in addition to movement, try to acustom yourself with blocking attacks with your hip(s) and not only by hands. That's it Chadi. This keyboard Judo expert has spoken..😁

I really hope Rokus visits the Kodokan to experience orthodox Japanese Judo. They understand the third leg principle and kuzushi very well, whereas in the west many Judoka rely upon brute strength and the push-pull to attain kuzushi.
