The raw honesty and introspection in this is touching in the right way. No overblown emotionalism or contrived sob stories, just a man baring is soul without complaint or embellishment.

I agree. It has a "slice of life" perspective. No need for being melodramatic.

[@Tonytengosuerte]

I come back to this video a few times a year, and got me through my toughest training period.

RIP Doug Rogers and Great sensei Masahiko Kimura.

Brilliant insight into a time of Judo and Martial Arts lost with time. Can’t help thinking Doug sounds a lot like Clint Eastwood in this too! 😂. RIP Doug, exceptional Judoka and Kimura who was simply the judo GOAT.

He also looks so much like Val Kilmer I think…

"As you become more and more skillful, the desire to act big and tough sort of works the other way." Ain't that the truth.

Followed a link from Greg’s Airplanes video on the Ki84, he briefly spoke about master Kimura. All this while doing some light woodwork with a Japanese saw, a moment of serendipity. Soooo glad.

[@Kwisatz-Chaderach]

Absolute banger.

[@JuanRodriguez-bk8om]

A masterpiece they should make this into movie!

The audio is in serious need of being re-adjusted. All the same, thanks for putting up more about the Great Masahiko Kimura. One of the greatest grapplers there ever will be.
