Choked out! Takeshi Sasaki and 1 of the Best Chokes of All-Time!

Takeshi Sasaki 佐々木健志 just pulled off one of the best chokes of all-time. If you've seen a better kata-ha-jime, let me know.
0:00 match starts
0:18 LEFT arm, not RIGHT arm

[@judojudo3808]

Amazing! Great application and very good analyse of the execution of this technique. I had to remember when I saw similar kata ha jime really. Sasaki applied it was clearly as in kata...

[@danilomodonesi5977]

That's impressive!

[@woodeokyi9053]

He tapped, but the referee is atrocious. He was too slow and not moving around to see where the blue guys hands were to tap.

[@amck72]

No the ref wasn`t bad. He was on the other side. The guy barely tapped and he went to sleep a split second after. It happened so fast.

[@woodeokyi9053]

@amck72 did you see the ref? He wasn't in a position where he could see the tap. I know it's hard to blame him, but if you want to be a good ref, you need to be proactive and move to a position that's going to be beneficial for the judokas.

[@euanmorse]

The referees are honestly so slow to react to these. You can tell from the body language immediately.

[@bigheadrhino]

The ref also did not have the reaction time to catch the guy’s head. Terrible. Wasn’t even looking in the right direction.

[@user-pj7sq7ce1f]

Because to see what is actually happening you have to bent your knees and get close and they have been order not to do such thing

[@glennhynes5263]

The ref is not allowed to put hands on the player. The opponent was the one that could have eased him to the mat.

[@ElephantRage]

Referee was asleep well before the blue guy.

[@bozzskaggs112]

You said that perfectly.

[@amck72]

He went to sleep so fast even the ref didn`t know. The guy tapped on the other side and underneath so the ref could not see it.

[@MrKohAburaya]

審判のレベルが低いので危険ですね。

[@coachle4321]

is it true its against the rules for the ref to put his chest down on the mat, so judo refs are only allowed to stand up and are unable to look closely on the ground like wrestling and BJJ refs?

[@user-pj7sq7ce1f]

Correct and that is the stupidity of the referee comiunity

[@will6996]

That needs to change

[@user-oq3er1hg2y]

もう少しで地獄絞めな感じだった

[@TunaBagels]

Sasaki should have been more careful releasing his opponent, he just dropped an unconscious guy unceremoniously to the mat. Amazing technique, though!

国際大会の審判ってなぜか絞めに慣れてない人がやたら多いよな。

[@user-iw2fq1bi3b]

外人って参ったするからあまり落ちる事ありませんからね。だから外人の審判は落ちても「？」なので判断が遅い以前に何が起こっているかわかっていない事が多い。日本人ぐらいですよ、首絞められて参ったしないの。

[@kamentora3594]

審判さぁ、「まて」じゃねーよw

[@buckwheat4608]

And these are A class referee? First Ref was in the wrong position, 13-14 sec. in, this guy was in trouble, 16 sec. TAPPING OUT, NOT A STRONG DISTINCTIVE TAP. Sasaki KNEW IT. POSITIONING as a REF. AT This CALIBER, BETTER BE ON YOUR GAME. QUICK IPPON.

[@AndreyAndreev_USP]

А спасать человека не надо? Это что за рефери и где врачи?!

[@prvtthd401]

I hate Judo refs. I know it is the rules, but it needs to be changed. It is a combat sport, you can't risk safety for appearance.

Why are judo refs such garbage?

[@user-wx9ix1me5t]

柔道は国際レベルの審判でも落ちた選手に何の処置もしないで見てるだけなんだな

[@user-xn9zo5bp8i]

基本的に医師や看護師がいるからその人らに蘇生行為は任せなきゃいけないの。無知は罪

[@user-wx9ix1me5t]

なんすかその基本って？　だとしたら落ちてから数秒以内に駆けつけないとそのシステム成り立たないですよね。落ちた選手を床に寝かせて放っておくだけのシステムを基本と呼ぶあなたの方が無知だと思います。

[@user-ds5ne7jn7j]

@@user-xn9zo5bp8i 審判には一定以上の段数も審判になる条件に含まれてるし、そういう人は指導者の地位についてる人も多いから落ちた人の対処方法も当然知ってるし実践もできる（でないと道場や部活動の練習の際に同様の事が起こった時に対処できないから） つまり、医療関係者に任せなければならないから見てるだけと言うのは理由にも言い訳にもならない。無知を晒したね

[@fvuk4019]

情けない審判だ。

[@spiritinspringtree]

It was too dangerous to release a faint person without care. Look how the head of the person in blue hit tatami and bounced. It was too caress of the person in blue. A person who does not know how to release and resuscitate after Shime-Waza should not use the technique. To me it was disgraceful to watch this match.

[@john-7649]

貴方は経験者ですか？？

[@markmearth1]

I agree. There should be some care and respect for the opponents (in competition) and training partners. The head should NOT be dropped down like that, especially when the person is unconscious. It is not war. It is Budo, a lifepath. Budo can be used in war situations, but this is a competition .

[@calebacrutto9601]

@Eiyaku Kyohan -Unfortunately too many times the "uke" does not want to tap until it is too late, as seen here. It does take sometime for consciousness to be loss, more than 5 sec. Uke in this case new tori had a good waza applied, but continued the fight instead of tapping, and when he finally did it was less than obvious to the official.

[@andreaaiazzi4501]
