Elite College Judo Practice in Japan at Nittai University | Day 3 of The Japan Judo Camp & Tour

Day 3 of The 2023 Japan Judo Camp & Tour
Practice at Nittai University where Hifumi Abe and Uta Abe graduated.
The 12-day trip immerses participants in Japanese culture, with fully guided tours to Tokyo's most iconic sightseeing destinations. The Judo camp & tour provides world-class instruction at four of the top university Judo teams and two private dojos, including the renowned KODOKAN Institute. Participants can build friendships with Judoka from around the world while experiencing elite-level training programs. The previous trips in 2017 and 2018 were a huge success, and participants gained a deeper understanding of Judo's rich history and culture.

This is a great video. A lot of journalists go to universities to film but they come back with almost nothing because they don't know what they're looking for.

[@shintaronakano2842]

Thanks for your comment! We wanted to share some of the moments like how our guys are feeling to give viewers a sense of the atmosphere and emotions before and after practice, which might give a little more realism of practice on the screen.

[@Vekren]

So cool. Wow Judo practitioners look so stable on their feet. I want to learn some.

[@johnpauljones9310]

It's called "Kuzushi": Unbalancing your opponent for a throw while maintaining your own balance. It's all fun until you realize your Judo opponent knows the same thing! 🤣

[@Vekren]

@@johnpauljones9310 Very cool. Kuzushi I'll try to remember that.

I see that you are responding each and every one comment so i take my shot : can a foreigner judo amateur come in the dojo and train one session ? Thank you for the video .

Is Judo similar culturally in Japan as Amateur Wrestling is in America? I was researching Bukatsudo and found out that a lot of schools in japan have Judo teams or clubs.

[@shintaronakano2842]

Thanks for your comment and support!

[@BURGAWMMA]

So many countries provide Judo as part of their Scholastic Sports programs it's the world's most popular combat sport

[@shintaronakano2842]

Yes, that's right! Thanks for your comment!

[@BURGAWMMA]

@@shintaronakano2842 As a high school wrestling coach I always wanted to establish a judo program durring off season! I approached the athletic director and almost had them sold on the idea especially considering the fact that the self-defense aspect of judo would likely draw more females and that was a huge issue during the title 9 debate however "NHB cagefighting" fighting was in the news and they were terrified of martial arts liability so I was never able to get the idea off the ground however now and then I brought in some Judogi and we did a bit of cross training, my wrestlers loved it and we integrated a fair amount of Judo into the wrestling club! There's nothing more rewarding than to see a kid win a contest using a new move you taught them and next thing I know I'm surrounded by coaches asking: "what the heck was that" to which I could confidently reply... "THATS JUDO"

[@user-bo9zg9hf3e]

Is this blue UNY Home player the top player in Japan?

No instructional session?

Basically, only selected university students! Thanks for your comment!

Look up on Google their probably at least one judo place in the city your in. You should be good, there is people in my judo gym that is older than that and they are doing well .

[@phillipmarlowe0525]

I remember when you as a Judoka could not wear only other GI color but white. I also remember when Judo was not so watered down. 😢

[@shintaronakano2842]

Thanks for your comment!

[@filippobertone4255]

The blue gi is used for competition purposes as it allows for easier refereeing while also making the matches easier to follow also for the public. If you think that this uniform is flashy, you should see what they wear in BJJ… And about being “watered down”, Judo’s new rules allow for a much more explosive (aka realistic) ground game focused on transitions, no leg grabs means upright posture is favored and bigger standing throws are emphasized (unless you want to argue that Greco Roman wrestling is less effective as a fighting style than fresstyle…) and also encourages a far more sophisticated gripping and sweeping game. Judo is far better nowadays both as a martial art and a combat sport, period.

[@muhammadalifaruqi1928]

​@@filippobertone4255last part of your argument is pure garbage. Far better as a martial art, says who, the dumbasses running the IJF? Unless you're willing to argue that kodokan is promoting ineffective/far worse judo by still allowing leg grabs in their internal competitions and don't agree with IJF's stance on leg grabs, then no leg grabs rule turning Judo into a better martial art is pure bullshit, period. How many Judo schools in the whole world actually even train the self defense element of Judo (the atemi waza and the wrist locks etc) for it to be a better MARTIAL ART? The "sophisticated" grip fighting is as unrealistic as realistic the newaza is. Cause in a real fight no one is going to engage in a whole grip fighting sequence to punch you in the face. Just watch Judo fights of pre leg grab ban era and show me how many players were constantly bent over like wrestlers constantly shooting on legs? On the contrary there Judokas from that era knew really well how to defend against incoming leg attacks while still maintaining upright posture.

[@samamani5423]

that poor blue belt . lol

[@rockybalboa2526]

: / I JUST FINISHED WATCHING THIS VIDEO AND NOW HAD THIS TO SAY.. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS VIDEO WAS SIMPLY TO SHOW THE PRACTICE SESSION OF THIS COLLEGE JUDO TEAM, AND TO SEE HOW THE TEAM PRACTICED IN GENERAL, BUT ALL THROUGH THIS VIDEO I KEPT ASKING MYSELF WHY SO MANY PEOPLE CANT SEE THAT ALL OF THIS TYPE OF "PRACTICE" IS JUST REALLY A WASTE OF TIME. FOR INSTANCE, I KNOW JUDO IS A "SPORT", BUT WHAT JUDO REALLY IS, IS A SELF DEFENSE ART TO PROTECT AND DEFEND ONESELF FROM SOMEONE TRYING TO HURT THEM. THAT IS WHAT JUDO IS ALL ABOUT. BUT YET THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE JUST "PRACTICING" JUDO ON EACH OTHER AND FOR WHAT? TO COMPETE AGAINST EACH OTHER WITH THE SAME TECHNIQUES AND SAME MOVES? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THAT REALLY? TO WHAT? "OUTSMART" THE OTHER PERSON YOUR "COMPETING" AGAINST? WHAT IS THE POINT OF "COMPETITION"? TO "DEFEAT" SOMEONE ELSE? WHY? WHY DO WE NEED TO "DEFEAT" ANY ONE ELSE AT SOMETHING? WHAT THESE JUDOKAS SHOULD BE "PRACTICING" IS WHAT EACH OF THEM WILL DO WHEN AND IF ATTACKED BY SOMEONE? IN THE STREET THERE IS NO "PREPARATION" FOR THE ATTACK. HERE ALL OF THESE PEOPLE JUST KNOW JUDO, BUT IF THEY ARE ATTACKED BY SOMEONE? THE PROBABILITY IS THAT ATTACKER WILL NOT BE A STUDENT OF JUDO. SO PRACTICING THE SAME THINGS AGAINST EACH OTHER IN JUDO PRACTICE WONT BE OF HELP TO ANYONE IF THEY EVER NEED TO DEFEND THEMSELVES, UNLESS THEY ARE PRACTICING USING ALL THEIR DIFFERENT JUDO TECHNIQUES AGAINST RANDOM, VARIOUS ATTACKS. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THIS PRACTICE IN THIS VIDEO? EACH STUDENT SHOULD BE TAKING TURNS BEING THE ATTACKER, AND TRYING HOWEVER THEY CAN USING ANY OTHER ATTACK BESIDE JUDO TECHNIQUES, TO SUBMIT THE OTHER GUY. AND THE OTHER GUY SHOULD BE USING JUST THEIR JUDO TECHNIQUES TO STOP THE ATTACK AND TO STOP THE ATTACKER, TO SUBMIT THE ATTACKER. SEE? THAT WOULD BE A MUCH MORE USEFUL CONCEPT THAN JUST PRACTICING JUDO ON EACH OTHER. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT AT ALL IS GAINED FROM VIOLENT COMPETITION? ITS JUST PRIDE, BEING ABLE TO CLAIM I DEFEATED SOMEONE ELSE! THEY DID NOT DEFEAT ME. SO WHAT? THE ONLY TIME THAT HAS ANY REAL MEANING IS WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO HURT YOU FORCEFULLY AND VIOLENTLY, AND THEN YOU ARE ABLE TO STOP THEM! THAT MEANS SOMETHING. YOU STOPPED ANOTHER PERSON FROM IMPOSING THEIR ILL WILL ON YOU AND PROTECTED YOURSELF FROM BEING HURT ALL BECAUSE SOME ASSHOLE WANTED TO HURT YOU! REAL SPORTS ARE ACTIVITIES WHERE YOU ARE PLAYING A GAME, WITH A BALL, PUCK, AND THERE IS A NON VIOLENT OR NON PERSONAL GOAL INVOLVED IN THE GAME. TRYING TO SCORE A GOAL OR TOUCHDOWN OR BASKET, IS FUN.. ITS SOME WHAT COMPETITIVE, BUT IT DOESNT NEED TO BE PERSONAL. WE ARE ALL IMPERFECT AND NOT EVERYONE IS FAST OR SMARTER, OR HAS INSIGHT, OR IS IN TOP FORM ALL THE TIME, SO THERE SHOULD BE NO THINKING "IM GOING TO BEAT THAT PERSON, IM BETTER THAN THEM"... THE MINDSET SHOULD BE, " IM GOING TO HAVE FUN PLAYING FOOTBALL, BASKET BALL, BASEBALL, SOCCER, OR HOCKEY. ALL THE OTHER SPORTS ARE MADE TO BE VERY PERSONAL WHERE THE CONCEPT PITS ONE PERSON AGAINST ANOTHER. NOT VERY FUN. BUT VERY PERSONAL. COMPETITION BRINGS OUT THE WORST IN HUMAN BEINGS! NO ONE IS EVER GOING TO BE "THE BEST" IN ANYTHING.. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE BETTER! STRONGER, FASTER, SMARTER, QUICKER, ETC, ETC.... WE SHOULD BE HAVING FUN AND ONLY FOCUSING ON DOING OUR OWN BEST AT WHATEVER WE DO. NOT WORRYING ABOUT "BEATING" ANY ONE ELSE AT ANYTHING! THOSE ARE MY THOUGHTS!
