Koki Niwa - Chop Block God | Ultimate Career Highlights

[@Belgamor77]

I never get tired of watching that last point, how cleverly he dominates the pace of the game with blocks

[@clearheaded5696]

Both Koki Niwa and Xu Xin play like an artist, painting the table with magical stroke.

[@gragbogdan5084]

Японский Валднер.

[@bryanwells4063]

yes, they are honestly very similar in creativity. Both are gifted with incredible skill, so much that they would rather win while having fun rather than really retraining all their strokes to be quote unquote "perfect". Koki plays a bit to passive and close to the table and Xu Xin often played too far from the table, giving up an offensive position. But they continued to win, so it didn't matter. Artists of the highest form, well said!

[@KA-eu9sy]

And Waldner too

[@JasonGreen-zw8tm]

Exactly

[@lljosefll]

Niwa is truly a gifted table tennis player. He's an inspiration to me to develop a chop block in my game.

[@xenzomihamn4278]

Adam Bobrow is the Koki Niwa of commentators!

[@brianmccormack1667]

He is so annoying. Ruins so many games. Just shut up and let the point play out.

[@RatatRatR]

0:32 holy hell, man

[@DjangoLothbrok]

Every generation and every sport needs a Koki

[@seeker3983]

the most creative, fun, unorthodox, versatile , crafty and monster trickster in the history of table tennis. he is a zombie tho.

[@tati1422]

Faster than a zombie, fortunately 😄

[@Arsalism]

The last point was Mental ... always love watching this Video

[@bobmalack481]

Niwa's chop block at 2:40 really puts Xiu Xin in a junk world moment.

[@tusharbehera8956]

that's it i am a koki niwa fan from now own

[@Rythm-beat]

He is most underrated player 😅, love from India Koki

[@seeker3983]

for those telling him he don't win matches and all. first of all, ask yourself how hard is it to win in your local club, then premium clubs, then district levels, then state level, then regional level and then NATIONAL LEVEL ( in your country). then contenders, ittf opens and the list is quite long. lastly it comes to WTTC, MENS WORLD CUP AND ULTIMATELY OLYMPICS. and koki niwa is top 20 among millions and millions of table tennis players. beat that !

[@michaelblankenau6598]

Good point

[@olaoduntan842]

iirc he peaked at rank 9 for a while

[@olegi9802]

Красивые умные слова вам респект

[@AlbrechtScheidig]

Love him, the same as his coach smirking on his brilliant points

[@steveosborne8139]

Just love koki niwa I hope he goes all the way in the Olympics.

[@Fractalesque]

The force is strong with this one. Koki Niwa lives his life in bullet time.

[@eloimumford5247]

What a superb talent , Koki is fast as a cat and surely a hard worker to achieve this walk in the park invincibility.

[@beltrangarrote1982]

Nothing better than Loki Niwa and Stray Kids in the same vid. Thanks.

[@saadlubis6888]

Craziest skill!!!!! Bravo Koki Niwa!

[@brunoalexandre6984]

Koki niwa the best

[@avx102]

I love chop blocks because it's a defensive-offensive way to get back/stay into the game rather than go full defense. Niwa's self control with his agility in tracking the ball is outer of my world lol

[@janyjansky]

I feel bad for Fang Bo... watched him lose this point like 100 times.

[@angelguevara7730]

I think Xu Xin and Koki are the most entertaining table tennis players to watch

[@7Alberto7]

I love the first clip,the opponent is like "watch here all my fancy move,i'm going to trick you" and Niwa is like "please fuck off"🤣

[@朗读者-m4z]

the best compilation on YT!

[@Keldeo-gx]

4:22 win a point against xu xin in such situation is absolutely brilliant

[@redbunnytail9528]

Once a week, our neighbor drives 2 hours, each way, to Boston, to give his twin boys some ping pong coaching. He moved to the US, about 10 years ago. Gonna ask him, if he knows of Koki Niwa, when he stops by to chat. The 'chop block' is an extraordinary skill. It's kinda like a 'volley' in tennis, in that there is virtually no swing. It works well on shots with pace AND no pace. AND on tricky serves. Niwa is incredible.

[@bryanwells4063]

there is defninitely a swing, but it is all in the wrist on the backhand. You really need to chop down on the ball with a ton of racket speed to reverse all the topspin and speed coming into the ball.

[@pascalstauder6009]

J 'adore ce que fait Koki Niva ❤🤣😅😆👍👍👍

[@zevlibin8892]

epic level trolling

[@diamondbell520]

4:00 holyy look at the spin and curve on that inside out forehand

[@btdung]

poor Fang Bo, he's remembered as the victim of the most brutal chop block on internet

[@gmurvs]

7:44

[@2Rrrok]

😂😂😂

[@bigpapa1472]

This guy is a genius

[@JosueMartinez-ww1vj]

That's the Pure Wasabi Block!

[@yulwu6758]

he has very good hand feel, and a solid understanding and read on ball spins, which basically means he plays table tennis with brain more so than others. But he lacks the physical ability to match other opponents in a rally, and his short arm span means he doesnt have great defense coverage away from the table. Much like Xu Xin who is held back by injury, he is a very talented and entertaining player. But these players are simply not favored by the table tennis meta

[@Jinnie-86]

0:24　ラケットが剣に変わった瞬間。試合でこんな動きが出来るなんて凄い！！

[@ente866]

Favourite player

[@igorushakov9200]

What a legend. Too bad he's not with us anymore...

[@dusancorlija9088]

Yellow guys are the best. What a great name KOKI NIWA ???😵🤣

[@tratranvan8649]

Save the best for last, I watch the whole video just to find that rally :)))

[@yuta8693]

He was the Japanese with the most stylish style of play.

[@El-Ge]

The last one was the best.

[@gingeral253]

The chop block is so fluid it’s hard to tell where it happens.

[@hayato_editor9199]

7:46 omg

[@matalbasse]

In some ways, he reminds me of Waldner, making it look so easy. Amazing player

[@KA-eu9sy]

Agreed. Yup!

[@JayS64]

-2:05 wow . What can u do against that kind of talent

[@saroshbharucha]

Awesome compilation

[@BarisanTukangSpam]

Niwa is so pretty cool 🤩

[@Saitamaaaaaaaaa123]

I laughed so hard at 3:19. One of the videos where you cant put the volume high lmao

[@ujangeman9757]

Koki nawa..yg tanpa expresi maennya tenis meja nya...kreenn..level 10..yg lain msih level 3

[@Freak001100]

What is that chop block thing? Is that like initiating a spin to the outside of the table or what?

[@ttrocks5985]

AND he uses the correct hand. :)

[@jameschandler2776]

Niwa is amazing

[@recordednowhere]

Yeah, there's more succesful players, but I just love watching him play.

[@yusupkassim447]

KN he is a genius Japanese player all time.

[@АрнольдЧёрный]

Super!

[@TimurFedorov1]

Amazing! Was it Adam Bobrow as commentator?

[@KA-eu9sy]

Yup. Which makes it even better. Really expressive

[@pingpongmaster606]

Koki niwa unique people

[@hermantomarpaung5116]

Koki niwa layaknya seorang pendekar samurai berdarah dingin..dia menggunakan betnya seperti layaknya samurai

[@TnAhmad15]

why is this sped up

[@ads1663]

what was in the last segment of the Chinese is just a shame from the Japanese, to all Chinese tennis

[@xinzhongwei8739]

Why do I feel Koki Niwa rely on too much his instinct more than effort? Obviously he has some unique ability to get to his level. But he gives me impression that he stands too straight up and moves his feet less than necessary to make it easier to play sometimes? His lack of muscle probably contributes to his stance, making him not able to move laterally fast enough to get best positions to play some shots..

[@andyyang3029]

Yeah if you compare his footwork to Fan, he doesn't recover as quickly. I think he has the skill to be a top 5 player if he worked on that

[@clearheaded5696]

That's because be is a low key show off, a tactic he does to frustrate his opponent.

[@kenji2787]

The way he plays, he seems like a guy who loves table tennis, not a guy who plays it because it’s his job. Although, he was playing professionally so not sure. Hopefully, he had an easy boss.

[@KA-eu9sy]

You're missing the magic my friend.

[@borisalanarana2590]

He does some nice points and lose a lot of games...🤔

[@tiboralvant6092]

yes, true.

[@alankucar4564]

What are you blabbing? He currently ranks 18.

[@andyyang3029]

get to the top 20 like him and then you can criticize

[@kavinxavier4552]

Have you seen the people he loses against?

[@samuelpardana]

@@alankucar4564 he is overrated in the world ranking, the japanese team is a bit too generous to him while they could be giving more opportunities to younger players

[@iceprince710]

永远不要放过方博😂😂

[@Alan_Tony]

[@alexyang9531]

I'm really afraid to show his videos to my son who is learning table tennis. It's so dazzling that it will mislead children.

[@datohjono4341]

[@thabom9791]

If Niwa is "god", what term would be appropriate for Ma Long and FZD?

[@cuongtkong58]

I think they meant "good." In that case, ML and FZD are just a little better.

[@kenji2787]

God of chop block. ML and FZD doesn’t chop block. That said, these title are extremely stupid and I hate it.

[@KA-eu9sy]

Ma Long is a machine. FZD is a robot.
