Masahiko Kimura's secret to success (San Bai Do Rioku - Triple effort) 木村政彦

[@AztecUnshaven]

A lot of people don't understand the level of focus and intesity Kimura had... in his prime, he would destroy a lot of great grapplers today too. He crossed paths with many different masters during his time too from various styles. He added bits of pieces of those styles to his overall game too (Aikido, boxing, Karate, etc). I always remember how the Gracies told the story of Kimura vs Helio. The Gracies version of the story made it seem like Kimura was some huge giant monster, and Helio was some frail weakling... when in reality, Kimura was short and stocky, and very pound for pound strong, but far from a giant. And Helio was tall and lanky, but he wasn't some "frail" dude; he was a fairly athletic guy, and a fierce competitor with great skills.

[@filipem8678]

Give me a break! Hélio was wicker than Kimura and was a Guy who trained with his brothers. In other hand you have a directed discipule of master Jigoro Kano. Who really was in advantage?

[@Randoman]

Funnily enough, Helio was taller than Kimura

[@SoldierDrew]

Masahiko Kimura is the greatest. . . He also broke Helio Gracie's arm in an unarmed duel defeating Gracie Jiujitsu with Kodokan Judo. . . I've often wondered why Helio & his brothers didn't get revenge on Masahiko Kimura by jumping him from ambush with a metal pipe the way they did luta livre submission wrestler Rufino dos Santos after he defeated Carlos Gracie in a match.

[@PauloSilvaX]

you know wrong kkkk The fight that took the gracies to jail was because the guy published in the newspaper that the fights of the gracies were arranged fights ... like the cacc fights... which was extremely frowned upon at the time, to the point that cacc fighters changed the name of the art to luta livre, so that their fights are not confused with FAKES fights ... the guy published this in the newspaper because he wanted to fuck up the Gracie's reputation and for them to lose students ... today under the laws of Brazil the gracies wouldn't even need to beat him because it's CRIME to do what he did ... The beating was even fair, but they crossed the limits because they hit a lot, then they get arrested ... you don't attack what puts people's food on the table with lies ... here even today, if you do that, you get beat up ... Kimura had good relations with the Gracies, so much so that he returned to Brazil later ... and so much so that the blow he used to beat Hélio was baptized with his name ... Kimura called Hélio to do exchange in Japan after this fight, just like Geo Omori wanted to take George to train at the kodakan and win an official black belt ... you hear 1% of the story, fill in the gaps with the lies you want, and go around shouting nonsense ...

[@PauloSilvaX]

@farorin gracies they weren't mostly athletes ... they were traditional martial arts fighters ... the money came from teaching at the gym, the fights were to attract students ... that was the business model and ended up becoming the business model for all Jiu-jitsu ... The difference that made them good was the technique ... after everyone learned ... then there is no such thing that the best fighters are all from a one family ... only if they had any kripton gene kkkk Sport and high performance, this is impossible ... there is a case here and there, but not that they are all "top of their sports" At their time they were the best, until the end of the 90s ... Then first the hegemonic ended up because they learned an anti Jiu-jitsu and because a generation came that abused anabolic steroids ... then in the UFC after PRIDE the usage decreased a lot but the technique was quite equal now... it is no longer possible for a single family to dominate the whole scenario... In the old fights of the gracies it was common for them to be weaker, smaller and worse in techniques other than ground ... it was never because they were better athletes ... it was always a technical issue ...

[@Chadi]

He is the greatest, Kimura did not live in Brazil, probably that's why

[@FFFTonyo]

@@PauloSilvaX Unfortunately, Helio's grandsons are throwing shade on Kimura's victory on Helio today.

I practiced judo for a few years, but I had ACL injuries, because after 10 months of training I fought in the camp black belt competition with 12 years of experience and endured 1:30 minutes, so not bad, because of my knees I went to BJJ for 6 months. Judo and BJJ are very similar, one of the main things that threw me after switching sports was that judoka compared to jiujinieros are wild. Often times, a simple technique with strength was enough to strangle a guy. Secondly, no stand-up fighting and thirdly no strength training, as is the case with every judo training. Judo is respect, honor and courage in BJJ often guys are smart bastards who often exalt BJJ because they followed the UFC or KSW. Greetings from Poland !

[@briand3029]

Lol …. You’re somewhat right…. Being extra strong and strength WILL help when you encounter someone with just as good technique, skill, and knowledge, and intellect as you. This is what Kimura prepared for. He had the techniques, experience etc… so he wanted to be prepared to control the contrallables and not lose by strength which can be controlled and know that it’s just his technique that needs improvement. They didn’t have analytics and video etc to analyze yourself to see what you can improve as accurately so you have to understand the mentality in the 1900’s.

[@muhammadalifaruqi1928]

This is off topic but I read somewhere that Jigoro Kano named Judo techniques based on how they are supposed to be applied. Where can I get all the names along with their meanings?

Ahh rituals, we all fall prey to them at some point in time. I think it was Inoue who would always 'spring clean' his bedroom before major contests. Looking at that old footage Kimura v Gracie, apart from the massive Osoto right off the bat, I'm stunned at how easily he passes Helios guard - you can clearly see he achieves this by technique and speed, rather than his obvious strength.

Yes he cleaned his room and thought like a Samurai

Well he used to compete also in Kosen judo tournament and fought with some of the best in japan. Their newaza back then was high standard.

Blah, he was born with it. he was a genetic freak! I should know, I beat Kimura twice. Once in Brazil in a street fight in brazil 1966, and second in a judo match Japan 1978. Known him since he tried to throw me off a bridge in Japan when he was just a child. (maybe 7th grade) He was always gifted geneticly just beacuse he was from the mongoloid persuasion. Even so I could easily toppled him. I gave him anxiety by just being around him. He was afraid to say my name, hence why no one mentions me. Remember Count Dante taught me how to chop a bull in half, now I can chop 3 ostrich in 3 seconds (100x harder)

He would fight regular tournaments, it was not programmed he would fight Helio. Besides Kimura and his pupil, there were other "unknown" japanese wrestling in Brazil. The Baronti brothers played soccer too, and Alfio teached physical conditioning to soccer players.
