Judo Basic Grip fighting 102: right vs left

[@eusman]

Shintaro you are the goat bro just started judo can only do it 1x a week currently and your videos help me so much thanks man

[@bono894]

It's funny that these grip fighting videos have so few views compared to his "how to throw someone" videos. IMHO without dominant grips you are never going to throw anyone in judo.

[@ricefields7539]

Exactly. I’ve been learning that the hard way.

[@randymerta3406]

This grip fighting instruction is top shelf training.

[@merkins87]

As the great American philosopher Kanye West once said: you gotta crawl before you ball. It's the same people that want to do some flashy bjj without learning basic posture/timing.

This inspires me.

[@Shigashi84]

I am glad!

[@julibaa]

[@clovischalegre]

Thanks!

[@Shigashi84]

You are welcome!

[@NovaEmotion]

what do you think about current top fighters , can you especially highlight someone ? May be make some analysis of performance techniques ?

[@Shigashi84]

I think they are amazing. Will break someone down for certain in the future. Do you have a favorite athlete?

@@konstantinos-antoniosbme-m6472 That guy is a monster. But a lot of the things he does cannot be replicated by most athletes. It definitely helps to be bigger and stronger than most of the weight category.

[@martyantony6098]

Mr. Hagashi, I'm wondering if you can do a video on fighting a left v. right case, where your opponent is taller (farther reach) and likes to use russian judo grip just over your shoulder. Not the big power grip coming from the top, but just from the side. I find that even if I do grab a hold of the lapel to push them away, I find myself still at a disadvantage because of their height. I also have a tendency to bend my posture a lot when I encounter this grip., consequentially being penalized. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

I have a problem when i'm doing randori with my friend. He is left sided and i'm on right guard. His kumi kata is very bad but he is stronger then me and i can't break out from his grip. I tried everything but no results. Only thing I can do is to stand in the same line - my right side and his left side, and wait for him to do some tani otoshi or uchi mata so I can counter him - but he knows that :). Do you have any advice how to break his grip? PS: He looks like Beka Gviniashvili :)

[@Shigashi84]

Beka is a monster. My best advice is to try to attack ashiwaza. Once he is unaware of his grip and thinking about his footwork and balance, he will naturally loosen his grip. That is when you can go to break it. But you have to be in good position first in order to do this.

[@vladimircu021]

@@Shigashi84 Thank you sensei for your advice. I will try that for sure. Can you do some video with some makikomi variations?

[@jrmbayne]

Can you cover what to do when a lefty changes to righty during this?

[@Shigashi84]

You enter straight into the RvL positional sequence. You determine if they go outside or inside Because you already have tsurite on. You keep hikite tight so they have their shoulders turned. Now they are fighting on their weakside and you already RvL dominant.

[@jrmbayne]

@@Shigashi84 I got bombed this past weekend because I didn't notice that someone switched on me while I was doing pretty well with my right on left gripping :( I had him tied up on the left so he switched righty and slipped in a nice uchimata I will try to pay more attention in the future. :( :(

[@JoseAlvarado-fj8uo]

I had no idea you were Bucky's sensei!

[@canunotg]

I’m looking to start Judo classes this week. I’m right handed but my stance is left foot forward because that’s how I stand for boxing and MMA. Can I stick to this left foot forward for judo even though I’m right handed. Or should I just start learning right foot forward even though I want to learn judo for self defense?

[@bunnyazorth945]

Higashi is so hot right now.

[@Shigashi84]

;-)

[@jrmbayne]

So hawt

[@Brandon-ob9rg]

I'm too dumb for judo. None of this makes sense to me! 😭

Osss!!
