Judo Basic Grip fighting 101: right vs right

[@MrMoonster1990]

I really appreciate you taking your time to coach us up on this. One of the best concept+step by step coaching videos I have ever seen!!!

[@Shigashi84]

You are very welcome! I hope it improves your game

[@lazloludd4795]

Very, very, very vvaluable. Kumikata is a chaotic business and it's always valuable when someone tries to make it more logical and accessible. Thank you.

[@mapleridgefarm1026]

Exactly what i was looking for, clear precise and to the point. Thank you 👍

[@opod84]

I'm so grateful that I stumbled across this channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@Shigashi84]

You are very welcome!!

[@shad3128]

One really clear example of how good this video is : for wrestlers with right foot forward, it's very common for us to collar tie, club, shove or bump someone with the right (lead arm) which is the opposite of what we usually do with a kimono on like they demonstrated here. Little details but so important!! Thank you guys for sharing

[@OnGuardBJJ]

Best Judo channel

[@Shigashi84]

Greatly appreciate it!

[@EssenceGmod]

This is the most informative judo video i've ever seen

[@johnd6258]

Grip fighting hasn’t been discussed in our BJJ curriculum yet. Seems fairly important! Thank you for this video.

[@MicheleAlessandroBiancoGuerra]

Probably never gonna discuss it,love BJJ and train it, but regarding stand up work they suck.

[@richardnixon2569]

I don't know why we don't practice more standup in bjj. Everything else is clear techniques and fundamentals but when we stand up we just do whatever. At least in my experience​@@MicheleAlessandroBiancoGuerra

[@edelachtbare100]

These grip fighting videos are my favorite!

[@jordiortega4436]

This video has opened my eyes thank you

[@grappleRaver]

Once again dope man, I used keeping my shoulder hand back this morning. More respect from the coloured belts for sure!!

[@rollinOnCode]

oh my goodness shintaro thank you for the golden tips. i have so much issue grip fighting.

[@juaninamillion5864]

4:45 he wasnt expecting that throw HAHA

[@MrSnippety]

Yeeted his buddy out of nowhere 😂

[@Treyson31]

was looking for that comment xD

[@physiotipswithmarrow5836]

Thanks Shintaro for sharing your knowledge. Your videos have excelled my takedowns over this past COVID year at a time when I could not formally train. Thanks again!

[@MarkMugen]

Great clear explanation. Thank you 👏👏

[@Shigashi84]

You are very welcome

[@GobPalRosieVT]

Judo looks so damn interesting and useful, but I'm an uncoordinated klutz. However, these vids are making me think I might be able to do it since these explanations are so clear, even I can make sense of it.

[@CombatVault]

Thanks a lot. This was much needed for me. I can do several throws and take downs cleanly but my setup/grip fighting is not good enough to even allow me to get the take down.

[@ahrenwagner2993]

Thank you so much. Getting wrecked in grips so gonna try apply these!

[@paultaylor107]

Hi sensi, thank you so much for this. I am really struggling at my club as I am probably the weakest in my club and really struggle with any form of randori. Just keep getting overpowered. Will try and drill these techniques and hopefully I can make some progress 🙏

[@GZTakosh]

Thank you for all these great direct instructionals!

[@MrSnippety]

This has just blown my mind

[@KUCaldog187]

keep the videos coming!! Oss! love these 101 RvRvL concepts!

[@Shigashi84]

Will do. Thanks for watching.

[@nicocontreras5366]

So technical, I used to grab always the lapel with the right hand.

[@harimohanvashist5363]

Thanks sir it's really helpful 👍👍

[@dogedesign]

Great !! I love these grip video ! Great job

[@MatthieuSCHREK]

This is really helpful. Thank you.

[@ethanedward2599]

Thank you so much professor ive been able to implement youre teachings and concepts asap in the gym and I have 0 judo background youre teaching are extremely clear and concise I appreciate all you do

[@frederickmorton275]

loved the video! great pointers!

[@aronlange1977]

Great video! thanks!

[@AnGhaeilge]

I'm left-legged but right handed so I tend to use both left and right handed grips depending on the throw.

[@Shigashi84]

Nice. The beauty of Judo is, you dont have to be right handed or left handed to fight righty or lefty. Unlike something like baseball.

[@AnGhaeilge]

@@Shigashi84 Your videos are fantastic btw!

[@Shigashi84]

@@AnGhaeilge Greatly appreciate it!

[@elasticman5]

Hey sensei Great video. Could you also add a grip fighting variation for No-Gi if possible?

[@Shigashi84]

Sure can. But it would be called hand fighting. Its a wrestling term. There are a lot of resources on that on youtube.

[@ronnynolegs]

Honestly great stuff

[@Meandros81]

Gold! Thanks!

[@politelyimpolite]

Please do a video on the fake step into the turn throws :) PLEASE

[@VictorHugoVideos]

Can you make a video about how you strenghten your grip? In in your other videos you defend getting to a dominant position before start attacking, but my partners always break my grips before I get there...

[@mikewright902]

Make them take a step with that grip you make grip to unbalanced them and keep your balance. Side step front step there's eight directions😁💪✌

[@randymerta3406]

Thank you!

[@intorpere]

Thanks for this, but how do I avoid tearing the skin off my knuckles every class?

[@merrittcady5800]

You can tape your fingers that are getting hurt

[@oldjohnny9341]

Fabulous!

[@johnhealey652]

Amazing judo!

[@stellarmella2131]

really GOOD, thanks sir

[@stassenchr]

I really liked this video and subscribed because of it (been a long term observer tho). How would you modify for BJJ where ppl often stand fwd bent?

[@mikewright902]

Good video man love intelligent people in this sport I think it makes people intelligent just my opinion sorry but anyway I was hoping I could ask about breaking grip can the cameraman zoom in a little please💪💯😁

[@6bullets903]

Ossss sensei

[@Shigashi84]

Osss!

[@leonvandersande]

Got a question about the right hand protecting the lapel. In the new IJF rules for 2024, it says that covering your own lapel is illegal. Would the tactic you suggest here be allowed during competition?

[@702TechPanda]

Thank you for this! Oss

[@Shigashi84]

you are very welcome!

[@louisedwards3496]

What do I do if he catches my right sleeve first?

[@sedul2006]

Thank you for your videos, I watched some of your randori and noticed that you like to protect your right lapel with your left hand and then reach with your right hand to get a dominant lapel grip. Whereas in this video you are reaching with your left. What is the strategic difference or it just has to do with preference / intention and just situational positioning?

[@faizalafiq5004]

sensei, 4:38 what's the reason behind starting from the opponent's forearm?

[@unitedairco.5140]

What about if you’re left handed and other guy is right?

[@pimedus9675]

This makes me miss Judo :)

[@runningcat3504]

Is it legal to directly grab and remove opponent’s hand?

[@Shigashi84]

In judo, the governing body is particular about the nuances of fighting grips. It is constantly changing

[@mikewright902]

Not in a street fight😂💪👍

[@NickyAztec]

Hey man just curious about what belt you are and what it means in judo?

[@Shigashi84]

I am 6th degree, red and white belt. The red and white coral belt represents all 6th, 7th and 8th degrees. Red is 9th and 10th.

[@bunnyazorth945]

It means he has enough knowledge and fighting experience. You usually see this belt with older folks in their 50s-60s. This means he is extremely accomplished in his art at such an age.

[@NickyAztec]

@@Shigashi84 that's awesome

[@Shigashi84]

@@NickyAztec Thank you :-)

[@GravisTKD]

He certainly makes some of us folks feel like underachievers. I'm 32, having started judo a little over 10 years ago and just now getting to sankyu (lowest brown belt rank) due to a layover for 3 or 4 years. Maybe I'll get into the dan ranks one of these centuries ;) If I do, I think these videos will be at least partly to thank. Loving what you do, Sensei Higashi. By the way, one of our newer coaches mentioned training with you from time to time when he's in New York. I'll try to coordinate the next time he is up there so I can join in and get some of the wisdom first-hand!

[@alLEDP]

Is the hand thing in the end legal under IJF rules?

[@clovischalegre]

Show right vs left, please.

[@Shigashi84]

Coming up next. Stay tuned and subscribed!

[@Valech0]

4:44 he did not expect that xD
