so smooth, makes it look easy on the ground

[@Yupppi]

I find it so confusing when the guy is just sitting upright pretty unthreatened but it's a pin. I think you can really tell they're juniors from the frame of the guys. I would've guessed it was 70 or 80 kg class until I saw 90. They're just tall and slim, when in seniors they are damn jacked. Kawabata seems slightly more balanced, more seniorlike frame.

good to see a newaza fighter winning

[@r.s.819]

It's weird that for the top three 90 kg competitors, Tajima and Murao both have ties to Tsukuba, and Tajima and Kawabata have ties to Kokushikan.

[@handlesonjass]

By ties to both Tsukuba and Kokushikan for Tajima, what do you mean by that?

[@r.s.819]

@@handlesonjass Tajima went to Tsukuba University, Murao trained at Tsukuba's child judo club. Tajima went to Kokushikan-affiliated schools as a child and teenager (but chose not to go to Kokushikan University) whereas Kawabata did go to Kokushikan.

@@r.s.819 Ah I see, that's interesting thanks!

[@euanmorse]

They were all trained by Takafumi Kitahara as kids, that’s why!

[@handlesonjass]

@@euanmorse Scotland's national coach Kitahara? That's funny but also a cute story. Is there more info about that?

[@akiology312]
