Top Judoka at TOKYO Grand Slam 2023

[@milanojudo]

Riner was at Kyokushin. He seemed to be doing some randori, but also spent a lot of time with his coaches drilling scenarios, getting massages, etc.

idk how this guy not famous his videos are so enjoyable (KEEP IT UP)

[@ChrisCantCook]

If it was bjj, he would probably have more views

You're a hero for calling Taiwan, Taiwan, the IOC should be embarrassed for calling Taiwan, "Chinese Taipei" and not allowing this country its proper name. 🇹🇼🇹🇼

[@Cafeston]

As long as Taiwan is not recognized by the members of the UN, they're officially a territory and not a nation. That's not the IOC to decide. Their role is to ensure that they can compete.

[@EbuzzNYC]

I understand the politics, but Taiwan is a country, regardless of the pressure that China and the CCP bullies put on other countries. IOC could make a stand like they do with Russian athletes and other. @@Cafeston

that kata guruma at 1:28 was beautiful! also a nice transition to the jujigatame

[@tommyrq180]

What is the throw at 2:44? ESP judoka. 😮

[@anna-ct2zw]

Luka Maisuradzs ❤is an incredible Georgian fighter

[@Barabass]

I'm very happy that Adamian got eliminated at early stage.

[@ElPinku]

Lee won the World Masters in 2022, Bronze at Doha, bronze at Tokyo GS 2022 and Paris GS 2022 ✌️

[@JudoHighlights2015]

It’s 2023 though

[@ElPinku]

@@JudoHighlights2015 okay.. but the ranking list works that a competition before 12 months ago gives you 100% points, a competition under 24 months ago gives you 50% of the points. The Masters 2022 was in December

[@vinceocratic]

Random question here but, since you sell Gi’s do you happen to know where replacement Obi’s can be ordered?

[@JudoHighlights2015]

I can get you a new belt too

[@vinceocratic]

@@JudoHighlights2015 let’s do this. I need the inscription from my original coach in Japan.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

@@vinceocraticcan you send me an image? Instagram or email works. [e-mail]

[@vinceocratic]

@@JudoHighlights2015 how do I go about arranging the Obe? Also, tried to find the Gi’s in your shop but wasn’t able.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

@@vinceocratic oh maybe that is a bit confusing. The shop isn't where the Gis are. There's a ORDER YOUR KUSAKURA GI FORM on the site... might change that. Anyway, there's no site or place to buy belts, so email me and I can arrange something - [e-mail]

[@huslenhuslen-sp4vy]

Where is tsendochir😢

[@suhrobqadamov2181]

I think Murodjon Yo’ldashev also one of the best in his weight.

[@Lonson1]

Just so you know: Bekauri,Sulamanidze,Tushishvili will not be participating grand slam. The reason is still unknown.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Whatttt? Their names are still on the list. All except Sulanmandze

[@Lonson1]

@@JudoHighlights2015 Wish i was lying but it’s true.Giorgi Beriashvili (-100)and Levani Matiashvili(+100) will replace them. No replacment for -90 tho.

[@WhitegirlslayerX]

Do North American judoka ever compete in these IJF events?

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Some do. The Canadians do well, but the others aren’t really at this level.

[@WhitegirlslayerX]

That's a bummer. Id really like to see a few Americans compete.

[@yayeet1746]

@@WhitegirlslayerX 12 americans are going including junior world silver medalist jack yonezuka

[@xx_novumplayzyt_xx1439]

How was 2:20 not an ippon?

[@nunkajamas1]

I think it's because Vieru lost the grips as the Uke was landing. If he had the grips on, while falling, no doubt would have been given the ippon

[@xx_novumplayzyt_xx1439]

@@nunkajamas1 ah, that might be it

[@mrmaleek3592]

they changed it to ippon later

[@hammy8702]

maybe grigalashvili isnt going to tokyo bc he is competing in champions league in serbia

[@deborahgrow2676]

I think Lee has moved up because higher-level Judoka lose points after a year - they drop to 1/2.

[@nejakodric]

what about maruyama🥲

[@mihaistraicu5861]

In my opinion the best one is Denis Vieru
