俺も前から言いたかった。阿武は谷よりすごいぞって。阿武は体重落として完全に格闘スタイルを変えるのに成功した。高体重の選手はどうしても自分の体重を活かしたスタイルになりがちだが、たぶん阿武は国際大会では自分以上の重い選手にはそれが通用しないことに早く気付いたんだ。だから担ぎ技主体のスタイルに進化させた。これってほとんどの柔道選手ができないことなんだよ。

[@kkent1655]

柔道界で評価しない者はいないが、田村(谷)亮子の発信力が強すぎて世間一般人から隠れた存在になってしまった。 田村の実績にケチをつけるわけではないが、重量級という層の厚い海外勢を抑えての実績は超人的といっていいだろう。

[@4thofficial452]

阿武は、日本の重量級では歴代No.１だと思う。

[@fjbdc]

She has an amazing sense of where her opponent's balance is in each moment.

[@beatrizhugo2006]

Yes she does, and she has technic and she is fast and strong. Jeeez, she is good!!!

[@ilmaio]

Just nothing short of spectacular, the uchimata sukashi and attacking the suspended leg with o uchi gari, plus the change of direction in her seoi. Fine technique, flawless execution even against twice as big opponents. Judo at its finest.

[@shanghunter7697]

Indeed ! She's a fantastic Judoka

[@frankmcconnellogue3351]

She had skills in abundance and all against bigger opponents,great stuff.

[@senerzen]

I love the fact that she stays on top and in control after a throw. Never rolls. That is the type of Judo that is good for fighting.

[@quochoangang6014]

I Agree. Rolls after throws is not good. Always control.

[@rockymntdan1]

It starts with her base if you watch. She never is off her center of gravity. And then when the opponent is, WHAM. And because she's not off balance but in control at the start that translates into control when they hit the ground.

[@surfingonmars8979]

She probably took some jiujitsu, which emphasizes throws into control/destruction…

[@Timk630]

She would probably do well in bjj for that fact

[@surfingonmars8979]

@@Timk630 Yes. This young woman is astounding. She would do very well in BJJ if her ground game is at that level as well…

[@okaphwiz615]

阿武さんの大内刈りのスピード、威力、美しさは男子含めた歴代柔道家の中でも最高クラスだと思う。

[@sammoore9120]

A true counter throw artist! Oppon goes in for a throw, she makes one tiny adjustment and she wins the throw a master in action

[@azurt.8595]

阿武さん強かった……誰もが認めるところだと思います。

[@martinhastingsis]

I have never done Judo or really watched much, but I recognized; balance, timing, quick change of direction and momentum, great foot work and pressing the advantage. Her understanding of where the centre of balance is at all times is bang on. I am the youngest of four boys and Dad was a boxer so these skills shown here must become second nature or you're gonna get whipped before you ever deliver a punch. I did a little wrestling at school too, but we lost that PE teacher. Thanks Grappler.

[@georgemorley1029]

Do Judo! It’s immense! Just do it!

[@martinhastingsis]

@@georgemorley1029 I'm 65 now George, with more injuries than you can shake a stick at, might be a bit late to take it up. I do wish I had given it a go; when I was younger though. I never enjoyed boxing as a sport, I just wanted to defend myself and keep the older bullies at bay. Cheers George and I hope you have many years of enjoying your passion, Thank You.

[@MyDk2009]

Thanks for the write up about this Judoka in your description box because I've never heard of her before. Much appreciated

[@user-tw9hi1ry7u]

上手い、相手のバランスを崩してからの背負い投げ、浴びせた押しなどの投げ技が凄い 足技を仕掛けてからの技が多彩 素晴らしい 頑張れ

[@markdonovan1540]

Superb counter-attacking ability, the timing and balance is phenomenal. She knows how to use her lower centre of gravity power to great effect against taller opponents.

[@user-qk8lo7jw4x]

相手に隙ありと見たその刹那に繰り出す技の多彩さが抜群「必ず仕留める」執念がまたピカイチ、思わず「知らなくてすいません」でした　💦

[@LivingForce]

Simply amazing, the embodiment of Judo!

[@ArpMadore1]

I'm glad you featured Anno. I was extremely pissed off at the time because the stupid and ugly mainstream media always mentioned only Tawara, despite the fact that Anno was as good as her. The three world champions, Anno, Shintani, and Sone, had been overwhelmingly outstanding since elementary school, and many of the boys at the time were outclassed by them. It was really awesome to watch Anno throw her opponent, who was two or more sizes larger than she was, with Uchimatasukashi at the Asian Games.

[@nicobellic3465]

Are there videos of Anno outclassing boys/men? I saw training footage of Ryoko Tani younger training and she was legit fighting men, this wasn’t training. And it was beautiful - because she is much lighter than them she has to break their balance and the way she chains movements together until it happens looked amazing. It’s as if off balance has a resonance, she will then break the balance more as they adjust and you see her opponent unravel. Much more interesting and rare than seeing a sudden throw but I don’t think you would see such technique without a massive weight mismatch or unless it’s a woman vs man where they might have to work to break balance

[@houhougano2811]

重量級で最高の選手

[@bartofilms]

Looks like she could fire from both sides… Also not afraid to throw down with heavier opponents. Kudos.

[@daithi1966]

Anyone, male or female, who can impose their will on an opponent who has spent their life training to stop you from doing so just impresses the hell out of me. The opponent knows what she is going to do, and how she is going to do it, but they can't stop it.

[@hunterlogan2913]

great inner & outer leg reaps!! Your leg sweep timing and then upper body control is amazing

[@mikesharkey2010]

Her tournament strength may be her hip throws (and no question at all, she uses her low center of gravity and excellent sense of balance and rapid reactions to exceptional effect - over and over) but I am even more impressed with her ability to drive into her opponents with a low approach and power them off balance. Would love to have her teach some basic techniques to our new officers at the prison.

[@sheilag.834]

Niiiiiiiice!!! She makes it look so easy too. What a great practicioner.

[@scottcates]

Superb grappler. 100% Situational awareness.

[@aceattorneygeneral3922]

She's amazing

[@Minoru7]

技の決まり方が実に美しい。スローで何度も繰り返して見てしまった。ホント、もっと高く評価されてしかるべきだ。

[@nomitoricat]

トップ選手だと身体能力に頼って強引に持っていく人もいますけど、この人はほとんど技術とタイミングで投げていますね。

[@ryu-taka6101]

なんだか、泣けてきます。

[@mfp5585]

Amazing!

[@MyTubelessification1]

Awesome work.

[@imamba1]

So good to watch a real master in action.

[@thepozoleispeople5139]

I just came here to say that in this channel I learned a move that saved me from humiliation. Thanks!

[@GrapplerKingdom]

Glad to hear that, thanks for watching!

[@johnbatingan6252]

You’re gonna have to share the story!

[@hogcaller]

Noriko Anno is bad to the bone. She just proved, don't take smaller fighters for granted !! They'll beat your ass, well done Noriko !!

[@roachy72]

wow idk how she does it, sometimes it doesnt even look like shes throwing them off balance, but shes just instead convincing them that they forgot how to stand up properly

[@conmcgrath7174]

Awesome, absolutely fabulous technique and timing.

[@1stTactless]

Holy Craaap. What a diamond! She is just never where shes supposed to be. So quick to reverse anything.

[@qa1e2r4]

the move at 1:43 is amazing the timing and inertia she imprints on the opponent in just a second.... really good

[@redrufus444]

Spectacular!!!! Noriko Anno is a Star!!!!....

[@oznerriznick2474]

Superb!

[@YN-sj6mu]

She was the best in the world in her weight class. Her superb medal record says it all.

[@despertaferro5230]

Tecnica, rapidez y potencia. Es increible.

[@francdejong]

Nice!

[@peterreid9769]

I always thought she was very highly rated. And rightly so. Great fighter.

[@trex9263]

One minute into the video and I think her skill coupled with her low center of gravity is the secret to her success. Short and stout people's low center of gravity makes it more difficult to move them.

she is so fast, she switches up a throw in the middle, and makes it work differently... but it works

Awesome!!! She knew how apply physics to her game....

[@jlucasound]

Wow, she is good!!

[@shufflerp3868]

Very impressive.

[@MarkLapasa]

Amazing technique where she wraps her leg around the opponents, then she just slight pushes on them to lose their balance on the remaining leg, and then down they go.

[@hugoanibalperalespuentes6593]

This is the real Judo, when the size doesn´t matter.

[@69ElChistoso]

Wow. She's amazing.

[@kevinmcleod7580]

Super impressed by her skills and wow what a extremely talented young woman ! Underrated ? Why she's awesome ! If I could say one thing to her I'd say BEAUTIFUL ! DONT EVER stop believing in yourself ! This lady's good VERY GOOD at what she does and the proof is in the pudding !

[@spuriouseffect]

Impressive.

[@LeonidasLost480]

I'm not a Judoka but I know a good one when I see them. I love that pull, pull, pull, PUSH forward while catching the ankle of her opponent with her own for a take down. Especially for the larger opponents

Some of those wins I swear I've never seen before. 0:54 is just killer. On your back before you even think of a throw.

[@JoeOvercoat]

I’m glad they slow mo’d that one so could figure out what the hell happened. 😂

[@tenzind4175]

Her Technique, power damnnnn👍

[@lhkraut]

Grappling with someone who is small is hard enough, but when she has this much talent? Good freaking luck!
