Japan 2016 VLOG 9: The Kodokan Judo World HQ

Today I visited the world headquarters of Judo - the famous Kodokan dojo. It's an impressive 8 story building filled with training areas, a library and a museum.

You need to go back here and make a updated version of this video. Please.

[@NinjaKPhoto]

I love how much fun they're having!

[@anarchic_ramblings]

The instructor who was sparring is Nambo sensei. It's a pity there wasn't more footage of him, because he is insanely good. As you can see, he was hardly even trying.

[@BudoJake]

+J. Thx for the info. Yes, his judo is amazing.

[@marv0319]

[@yangtroy1]

good luck trying to footsweep or hip throw that white and red belt lol

[@Buli0n]

More!

[@kristianOLS]

awesome

[@humanbass]

At 5:55 the top guy can get an easy kneebar to counter the hook, a shame they are not allowed in Judo.

[@Buli0n]

Leg locks are allowed in Kodokan's newaza, and it was just instruction, not even a sparring.

[@matthewdegroot1201]

Was it not a sode tsuri komi goshi? Is there such a thing as sode guruma?

[@KDemis]

There is sode guruma jime, but it's a choke (ezekiel choke in bjj). The throw is a sode tsuri komi goshi indeed.

[@BudoJake]

+Matthew de Groot yes, you're right. That's what I get editing late at night. 😁

[@matthewdegroot1201]

Oss!

[@kenwintin3014]

Sode guruma is a strangling technique. Dolt don't know the difference.

[@tookurjaerbs]

I want to train there

[@NorthernMtnMan]

No blue Gi at all? Is that coincidence or a Kodokan thing? I have been to the Kodokan myself but well before blue Gis were even used in Judo.

[@junioravila853]

Its a kodokan thing, in their website it says that only white judogi are allowed.

[@subscriber10304]

You didn't train, Jake ?

[@BudoJake]

+subscriber10304 No, not this time. Just filming for you :)

[@subscriber10304]

Thank u Jake ! Does Enson still runs Purebred out there ?

[@BudoJake]

+subscriber10304 yes he does. Budo produced a show called Mat Culture which features a really good interview w him. It's on KZbin.

[@NinjaKPhoto]

BJJ needs a cool down.
