Criminally Underrated - Takanori Nagase

Takanori Nagase is a Japanese judoka, who competes in -81 kg weight category. He is 2015 World Champion, 2020 Olympic champion and 6-time national champion. He is the first Japanese judoka to win World championships in -81 kg weight category. His main throws are O Soto Gari, Ashi Guruma, Uchi Mata and O Uchi Gari. Despite his top level achievements and excellent technical Judo skills, he doesn't get as much attention as other more athletic judokas in his country or his weight category. Therefore, I feel he is quite underrated.

One of my favourites. Stunning technique and so calm and unflustered. Total control.

[@misnomer4231]

My fav judoka for years ❤ he make it all look effortless

[@jsl8461]

Great highlights compilation! To be honest, the first time I saw Nagase compete back in 2015 I remember thinking "how can someone this slow win WC?!?!" Then I realized someone like him must have excellent timing, an exquisite sense of his opponent's balance, and great control and "stickiness" with his lifting leg. He also improved tremendously since 2015. Over the years, I've come to appreciate the efficiency and beauty of his technique more, I imagine he has to work extra-hard to overcome his lack of explosiveness and foot speed.

柔らかくて無駄な力を一切使ってない様に見える。素晴らしい✨

[@statictech7]

Excellent video. I appreciate your making it. His style is so smooth

[@GrapplerKingdom]

Thanks for watching!

HE DOES IT WITH SUCH EASE. IT'S STILL AMAZING TO WATCH HIM PERFORM.

回転力とか足の力とかを上手く使っていて手の力任せじゃないところがとてもいい🎉

Firste comment for this legendary judoka best of the world ashi waza expert

[@ToxicVaccines_HivHoax]

Excellent form! 🥋🥇

[@mfp5585]

Considering his uchi mata is the ashi waza variation (like in the nage no kata, rather than the further rotated goshi waza variation), pretty much all his throws are ashi waza. O uchi gari, sasae tsuri komi ashi, o soto gari, ko soto gari, ashi/o guruma. Truly a master of ashi waza, suits his body type (long legs compared to typical judoka).

[@christianmichon1940]

I've Never understood why He was so strong... but he really is...

[@CamerOneiric]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Judoka employ Ashi-Guruma so much in competition, and I love it!

If Nagase has your right sleeve you're in trouble

Задняя подножка, зацепы и подхват великолепны..

[@mahdinasirsoltani3657]

Nice

[@user-me3zj8kp9y]

手の持ち方、裁きが良いため、足技が決まる様だ。また、寝技、関節技も素晴らしい。今度のオリンピックが期待される。其れまでケガをしない事を願う。

Underrated?! the man is an Olympic champion! I'll take that in a heartbeat

[@warbimoti__BiSH__Love]

個人的にだけど、技のタイミングが独特な気がする あと足技がヤバすぎる人

Canadian judokas participated well in these victories...

変幻自在 常に相手をコントロール出来る 彼の柔道に隙はなどない

息子が永瀬君の2つ下の学年でした。ある試合の時にトイレに入ったら永瀬君がスリッパを並べて出ていったと。「強いのにえらいなーと思った」と息子が言っていました。もっともっと頑張ってくださいね。

[@yvannicola8163]

Un grand champion qui pratique très bien ce que l'on appelle en France le utchimata quinquin ... !!

[@nomitoricat]

絡みついて逃げられない感じの足技の数々ですね。

[@uvw456]

Нагасэ лучший! Одной рукой подхваты бросает. 👍

[@hodgsoncatalin3243]

Wow... I agree with your statement... he should be not underrated. He's a king of the 81 Kg category!

[@minotamashiroM]

The master kuzushi

[@bassblaster162]

What happened at 2:30? Did blue gi think the match was over? Why was he walking away, instead of putting up defense?

[@freakyajay3868]

usually refree stops when the players get up from ne-waza..... but here refree didn't seem to do so... and he took the advantage of that situation

[@bassblaster162]

@@freakyajay3868 Oh, ok makes sense. The referee did seem hesitant with with gestures for some reason.

[@hodgsoncatalin3243]

The blue judoka was looking for a break ! Where's my coffee? 😂

Underrated?!?!?!

[@user-dn5uu3fe8b]

日本では，派手さがなく、記者会見もふつうで地味のせいで、下評価されています。本来は，すごい選手なのに。

[@judowithkeishin]

@@user-dn5uu3fe8b that is crazy, I am a judoka from australia and all the strong judo players here know him for his amazing techniques and super smart gripping patterns

[@IzunaDestruction]

@@user-dn5uu3fe8b In Italy he is definitely appreciated. Both the Japanese clean and ordered style as well as the Georgian messy wrestling-like kind of judo, they are both appreciated here. In the years when Ono was dominating the -73 and Nagase was dominating the -81, everybody here were waiting to see what magic trick Nagase would pull out next to win again making it look easy, like it's just regular stuff for him. Amazing judoka.

[@willyhwang1059]

throws must be agile fluid clean

[@64wy4x8s]

... underrated by who? Nagase gets plenty of recognition

[@Qunyc1985]

[@lelouerec]

Pourquoi sous-estimé ? Par qui ?

[@TheDrunkenGrape]

Underrated because he has been in Ono’s shadow

[@serg4225]

Если бросают тренированных спортсменов, то у обычного человека шансов нет никаких...

Nice video but I have seen him close fights against talaented judokas in order to win by penelties. Fair but ugly. The most "european" japanease judoka in the circuit. Not my favorite.
