Judo's Most Explosive Grip

[@cerotidinon]

The "fight for the shoulder" seems so obvious in hindsight, but just gave me a total "enlightened" moment. Thanks!

[@ookami112]

I broke one knee with bad tani otoshi and i think i never recover from it....After that, every time i get the perfect spot to do it , i freeze and do it so slow, gently and smooth... or many times i just unwrap the grips to play along what ever my partner is doing... How can i recover from this experience ? You can actully feel and hear a knee busting when its real close to your body.. I and everybody else would love to hear like "top 5 dangerous spots in JUDO today" or something...

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the strength it takes to perform the front uchimata lift with zero movement at 4:43, great video as always

I am an ikkyu brown leading our judo club and I tell every student to subscribe to your channel. They all love it

[@derykjacobsen6241]

Please do more of those light randori sessions at the end of videos. I find that wrestling and judo take a lot of timing, rhythm, and combinations. That being said seeing the technique or principle, then see you "playing around" is super helpful to quickly understand and apply what you have so thoroughly and thoughtfully taught. Thank you for another amazing video!

Best damned Judo channel on YT 👍

best youtube channel ever

I know I sound like a broken record, but ... as per usual : awesome content, no BGM, straight to the point goodness. Who could ever complain ? Furthermore, it so happens this stuff is JUST what I am working on against my lefty friends. I mean, in this video I have learned all the things (and beyond) I was planing to find by myself during the next months of training. Already done, ready to go, all wrapped up. I have no words. Thanks to you, I am building my judo game like a wall, slowly, brick after brick, layer after layer. In less than one year I am better now than I have ever been before. I can analyze my opponents games quite easily, and my errors too. The only problem I am left with is finger pains. I only have one question in mind related to that. How often do people rest ? I plan to get one week off and see if it's good, even though I want to go to the dojo. Tapping has been a great help, but now I want to heal really well. Is finger pain something that we can get rid off, as judokas ? Matthieu, a random french guy living in Japan

I just wih I could absorb enough of this for my next randori session

[@jongler9775]

@@shaunclubberlang2887 Good luck to you. Trying, forgetting, getting back to it, adapting, letting it sink in... we are all goign through that I guess. It takes time, right ? Let us enjoy the process.

[@shaunclubberlang2887]

@@jongler9775 As we all know, the thing about randori is that all the ideas you have that you want to try go right out of the window when you come into contact with another person. You're wanting to get a hand behind their back but the first thing they've done is grabbed both your sleevers or something like that.

[@jongler9775]

@@shaunclubberlang2887 You're right. That is the difficulty. At the dojo, I know the guys, and I have several plans / objectives to try out. I work on simple objectives, with people I select : with lefties who only go uchimata, I have this goal and this goal. With righties who are versatile, I want to check if I can do this and this. Little by little, I secure several viable games for myself, so I can cope with a lot of different situations. And as you say, you have to be able to adapt yourself to what this opponent does. The same applies in chess, and on any 1vs1 : we cannot think only of what we want to do to the other, because ... well, there IS the other guy too, and he won't stay passive. ( believe it or not ) I know the feeling you're talking about, but it is not a problem as long as we try to read him as we go. In a year, thanks to mister Higashi's videos ( and others ) I have developped a good understanding of defensive measures and attack plans, so I am enjoying the judo game a lot more than before. Before, it was like "panick mode" all the time, and tunnel vision. Now I can be relaxed, I use a lot less arm strengh, and I throw people more. This is a life changer for me. I wish you the best.

This is absolutely fantastic. I actually end up in the situation alot. Many thanks

i'm a bjj player, but i'm always entranced by the beauty of judo. great video.

[@TheAseer2020]

Hello. I am new to your channel, and from what I have view so far I love it. Keep up the good work. My question is a self defence question, have you or will you ever cover the effectiveness of Judo techniques while wearing different types of contemporary clothing? For example what throws to attempt what throws might be effective if your attacker is wearing a T-shirt etc.

[@Anonymous_Whisper]

Hey can you do a judo through the ages kind of mini series. One episode for very 100 years. Break down of top teachers and techniques of each dcade.

[@cahallo5964]

It'd be a very short series it would literally have 2 chapters if you go every 100 years lol

[@cahallo5964]

Nvm I am illiterate forget my other comment

[@joewwright92]

Amazing stuff

[@lucterbogt183]

Thanks Uncle shintaro

[@namnguyen7952]

Can you make a series of throws/sweeps for leftie?

[@808BJJ_Black_Belt]

Nice 👍

[@dricedt]

Thanks, really appreciate the grip fighting instruction. What do you do if the other person has inside grip?

[@XieTianXieDi888]

Did Brian Glick give you your BJJ black belt and you give him his Judo black belt?!

[@miguelrezendesilva]

@Shintaro Higashi, when the opponent goes over the back like that, one of the greatest threats for me is sumi-gaeshi. Moving the hips back does not help. Holding arround the waist does not help either, because he still has control over your arm for a sumi-gaeshi. How would you defend from that?

[@KumaCarter]

I always feel like the person with the overhook is at a huge advantage due to having more leverage for a forward throw. Especially uchimata or harai series

[@MrSahkoJanis]

In my experience if you're shorter then inside is your advantage as the shoulder gets pinned high easily when you're short and go outside and if you're taller then outside is your advantage as inside gets your shoulder pinned low easier. Also depends heavily on your favorite moves, personally i like to use a lot of lifts and hip throws and there the inside works like a charm

Were you the actor in the series on NETFLIX?
