Judo Legends: Neil Adams Judo highlights (King of British Judo)

Neil Adams is retired British judoka, who competed in -71 and -78 kg weight categories. These days Neil Adams is better known for his commentary of Judo competitions, but back in his competitive day he was one of the best judokas in the World. He was 2-time Olympic silver medalist, 1-time World Champion and silver medalist, 2-time bronze medalist and 5-time European Champion. N. Adams was master in both Tachi Waza and Ne Waza techniques.

[@Osprey3109]

Agreed massive service to British and world Judo, and a good man too

[@kcwliew]

He came too my judo session the other week. Top bloke and master judoka!

[@JorunnThomassen-ys9ft]

I can only agree,...fantastic judoka😊

[@ronki23]

Neil Adams' judo is a thing of beauty

[@alfredmuhiyeh3366]

Great one indeed king British judoka

[@davidmckeown6472]

Neil Adams, a fantastic Judoka and a very honorable person. A total credit to the teachings and philosophy of Judo. It's a shame to see how low competitive Judo has fallen at present time. Sure there are still some great Jodoka, particularly the Japanese, but also an awful lot of time-wasters, spoilers and shido merchants. All the nonsense of not allowing your opponent to take a grip is a real pain. Sometimes it's like watching a game of pattacake.

[@stephenmclean288]

I remember training with him at British squad training at crystal Palace in the eighties , threw me with tomonage , would control both sleeves made it almost impossible to spin out , incredible judoka, should have had even more success than he had in tournaments. He was that good.

[@Qunyc1985]

apparently was not that good.

[@stephenmclean288]

@@Qunyc1985 whoever said that probably never fought him in his prime , take it from me he was a bit special.

@@stephenmclean288 I don't listen to anything any people from the UK say. Unless we are fighting together...even then . We would friendly fire Brits. Hate those people.

[@Qunyc1985]

@@stephenmclean288 the humans from the UK are low level. The rest of the world agrees as well.

[@MrAbstraxsax]

He was that good. I used to train with him and his late brother when we were juniors. He was unbelievable and he hadn't reached his prime then.

[@MikeEves]

Saw myself 3 times in the crowd. LOL. Brilliant judo.

[@rubberneck2]

The man sure loves his arm bars!!!! Absolute legend!!!!

[@chrisbreedlove3119]

When he would start working for that juji gatami, it was a death sentence!

[@dasnutnock6408]

How dispiriting must that have felt for his opponent, knowing your fate had been sealed?

[@lesagent]

What a beautiful game he played

[@dasnutnock6408]

What a wonderful advert for the sport he was.

[@maxpaspirgilis3967]

His Tomoe-Nage is a thing of beauty!

Grazie GK Adams grande campione. Una cortesia: non si trova in Italia il video della finale olimpica di Mosca 80 con Ezio Gamba .Anche se Nail ha perso sarebbe bello è utile rivedere questo incontro tra due grandi campioni. Magari voi ce l'avete. Un grazie anticipatamente. Maurizio valvasone

Fantastic Judo, Neil is an amazing Judoka, and he was a wonderful ambassador for the UK. Those were the days, just take hold and fight, far less of the gamesmanship and time-wasting nonsense we see from the likes of Teddy Riner.

[@GrapplerKingdom]

@bolso66 What's so idiotic about it? And who are you to decide what kind of music is idiotic and what is not.

[@fiderdvis4714]

@@GrapplerKingdom the music is very good and to me it fits for the time he used to compete.... throwback style

[@siktergim]

This channel pretty much always nails the music. Befitting the athlete, his/her style and country. Very selective and clever choice imo. See his Hashimoto and buvaisar saitiev videos

[@bolso66]

Loads of bollocks. Judo speaks for itself, especially Neil Adams', no need of any pointless distraction. Volume off if you haven't got the original audio
