Nagase is a throwback to the Japanese way , my wife is Japanese and she has the highest respect for this guy. The lost art of gripping is a delight to watch. Probably the most skilled of all the Japanese judokas of his era ….. But my favourite is Sasaki ….. Great videos , thank you

Just leaving a comment for the algorithm. This video series is great. Would you make a video about Nagase at some point since he's starting to phase out and you say he's your favourite, so there must be good stuff in his judo?

6:16 Eh not really. Koreans in the 2000s and until 2012 London were quite dominant against the Japanese, and nowadays they're going back and forth. Wang Ki Chun & Lee Won Hee at -73kg, Kim Jae Bum at -81kg were absolutely dominant and winning most matches against Japanese players, Hwang Hee Tae in -90kg and -100kg was winning most matches against the Japanese. If anything during this period the Japanese players were struggling to get past Koreans. And looking at more recent top Korean players nowadays, An Changrim was 4-1 against Hashimoto, 1-1 against Akimoto, and losing all 6 matches against Ono. Gwak is 2-1 against Mukai (and the 1 lose to Mukai is due to Mukai literally elbowing Gwak in the head and Gwak unable to continue.), 4-0 against Nagawasa, 2-2 against Baker. Cho Guham (-100kg) is 1-1 against Wolf, 1-3 against Iida. Kim MinJong (+100kg) in recent years is winning most of his matches against Japanese players. An Baul and Kim Won Jin are indeed weak against the top -66kg and -60kg Japanese players, but then against who isn't at those weight classes.

This category is so elite that it's difficult to say who gets the gold. Nagase is elite, but I wouldn't be surprised if another guy beat him, this category has a lot of good judokas. For me Tato Grigalashvili takes the Gold, but is hard to say.

I'm hoping for a Nagase vs Lee final for Paris, but I'm expecting a Nagase vs Grigalashvili final. At least in the former I wouldn't be upset at whoever won, but in the latter I'm expecting Grigalashvili.

@@JudoHighlights2015 I'd be more surprised if Nagase did beat Lee in the hypothetical final, but I'd still like to see it regardless. Once Nagase is gone it's probably going to be between Lee, Grigalashvili, and whoever Japan sends out (I hope it's Sasaki, but probably Hojo or Amano).
