[@sensei9295]

I was fortunate to have trained under one of Mifune's students- Goro Oki of the Tenrikyo Temple, and Tohkon Judo in Chicago. Sensei used to travel to the suburbs where my dojo was. Those who say that the students "held back" are partially correct. Oki sensei was in his seventies, and I in my mid twenties when I knew him. He went about 110#, and I about 165#. FIRST, the "correct" part about "holding back": It was MUTUAL I can assure you. 1) It is disrespectful to "all-out" attack your partner in an OBVIOUS demonstration, ESPECIALLY someone of Mifune's reputation and status. 2) Yes, it is POSSIBLE that a younger, much stronger person could "force" Mifune into falling, but that does NOT show skill or technique, much the same reason (out side the whole safety/death issues) they don't allow firearms in MMA. 2.1) Assuming you were able to "force" a senior instructor to do anything, it would cause two things to happen. A) You would be a pariah for showing no respect/class and B) Before you were finished, either the senior instructor you disrespected, or another person there, would make sure that you never considered doing that again. 3) Having witnessed a 70+ Oki sensei randori many times with a 25 yr old semi-pro hockey player weighing 260+ who was BRUTE strong and had EXCELLENT balance, and sensei tossed him around like a toy! Not set up, I can assure you. You just could NOT get an advantageous position or grip, and like Mifune, he would let go, wrap a leg around you or just disapear off your radar when you attacked. 4) Oki sensei used to, at times, walk/run on the outsides of his ankles turning his feet 90 degrees inwards, just to get 2" lower, as just one of his tricks! The man was amazing! There were countless times during randori with Oki sensei that we ALL found ourselves 1 second thinking everything was "normal" and planning our next move, and then magically finding yourself looking at the ceiling, wondering "What the hell happened!" with the rest of the dojo looking on, just smiling, recalling their own similar experiences. As someone who won the Illinois State AAU gold medal, I can tell you for a FACT that if Oki or Mifune, even at 70+ got hold of you and WANTED to hurt you, 99.9% of the population, martial artists INCLUDED, could not stop them. If you never experienced training with someone like them, and there are etremely few that have, or will, you have NO idea what it is like to grab a person/gi you can NOT hold, or try to move someone who weighs less than you can preacher curl, and have them gain 200#'s instantly, or to set up technique, like I did with Oki sensei, where I caught him(I thought) with Harai goshi-my best throw- and in the time it took to rotate, he spun around and got in front of me, and THREW ME in tomoenage! Harai goshi was the throw I used to win my final match to win the AAU state championship, so I was pretty darn good and fast(compared to MOST) with it. Yet my BEST throw was a TOY to sensei. And not just ME, but former NATIONAL champions that also taught at our dojo were not even close to that "frail old man"! And as a final statement, if you think that Mifune, or Oki were just good at unrealistic "sport" techniques, you don't know the true history of Judo, the 1886 Tokyo Metropolitan Police Judo vs jujutsu tournament, the joint locks, striking and 50+mph throws that are/were common place to Judo, before the Olympic constraints that have become popular at most Judo dojo.

Watching this old film footage is great. The martial arts has changed alot over the years. Back then it was about honour and respect. It was a study through the education of the martial arts. The fighting arts are always there - that is obvious. However, to focus on the accomplishments and the learning process should be the goal. Perfection is realizing that there is no perfection. If you focus on perfecting your skills and self growth , its hard to think about the fighting aspect. Utilizing the martial arts to help people to grow or teaching values to people is by far a greater asset. Thanks for this video it brings us back.

[@REX-HOMINIS-THE-GAME]

At 4:25, he is positioning his opponent for "Hane Goshi" by pinching or twisting their fingers, and then achieving a dominant position with their right hand over their opponent's left arm, at 4:27, this happens in the breath of 2 seconds, and his opponent is still just focusing on the footwork, at this point, 5 seconds later, his opponent's center of gravity is destabilized, and he has no way to defend against Mifune's center. So Mifune shed's his opponent completely and recovers by 4:31. In fact, he is simply showing his students the dance with death, and the force that awaits beyond. Against which no guarantee of victory exists. RIP Mifune.

No matter if you are fighting the opponent standing up or grappling with him on the ground, you need to be able to move your body to a safe place to defend against his attacks. Being able to move your body freely to get to this safe place is called Hen(change). At the same moment that you are performing Hen you are drawing the opponent out as he attacks. This causes his openings to quite naturally present themselves and by being able to change freely and take advantage of them this is called Ou. Hen and Ou are actually one and should not be thought of as two separate things.

The students going hard would be like Iron Mike feeling good about himself because he pancaked Kevin Rooney's face in training.

I don't know much about judo for I have limited time training with it. I am more into Filipino martial arts. My grandfather taught me, and even at an advance age me and my dad can not even score against him. And we were not making it easy for him. Even in Dumog (wrestling). Unfortunately he passed away even before he shared all his knowledge about the art to us. I supplemented it by studying with other masters though.

@@jonlanier_a combat veteran that uses Krav Maga which is designed to eliminate opponents as fast as possible. Don’t want to be standing still fighting martial arts with someone when you are knee deep in enemy territory. How do I know this? I learn from vets constantly. None of them brag about beating someone to a pulp with size. Many were humbled by a smaller drill instructor. Combat experience beats someone who has youth and just learning how to become combat ready. If you tell me you were combat ready before bootcamp, you are lying. The point of this is to teach techniques. Same deal with drill instructors in the army.

2005 Master Shihan flies over twelve, 80+ Judo Masters from Japan for a Demonstration . I’m 15 years old 165lbs on the Football team and Captain of my hs Amaeteur wrestling team see these old guys that look half dead , everybody is joking, they shoved me towards the hands of a 90 year old 105 lb man who threw me around like a puppet for ten minutes. It was like going to Coney Island 😂 I still have the photo of when all them came and kicked all our butts at the Dojo in Brooklyn. The master was in the back smoking a cigarette laughing his ass off

The moves are real but it's obvious that the stronger, younger student aren't and shouldn't fight back beyond a slight bit of resistance. The old man is still master of the technique, but unfortunately his body is not able to take rigorous back and forth struggle. This should be obvious to all the people saying "fake" but unfortunately good sense is in short supply in our age.

One of the most essential East Asian ideas is written on the banner on top of the wall, it translates to: “the essence is in training your heart.” The West believes in embracing and expressing ones ego, the East believes in managing it. Not suppressing, but managing, so the ego wouldn’t go nuts like a wild beast forever be at the mercy of circumstances.

I love this video. The thing is, when your a big guy you get used to man handle your opponents in the dojo, because you compensate lack of skill with brute force. When your a small like Sensei Mifune, you have to do it right or you don't get to do it at all.

The great Mifune and the legendary Ueshiba were both using the same "thing", which is conveniently absent in both modern judo and aikido.

[@rayandino4393]

Thank you Joe

[@NxDoyle]

Every so often I'll watch a few demonstrations like these. I think it was largely inspired by seeing Seagal dispatch a bunch of youngsters in a way that made me think he is a master in the art of bullshit. No bullshit from Mifune-san here though. A master.

[@gyrozeppeli4862]

when people tell me that little old martial arts masters aren't that scary, I show them this. I did a decade of martial arts training, and this dude scares the living shit out of me

[@NxDoyle]

I had to watch the move at 1:42 at lower speed, just to see what he was doing.

[@lucienschlut]

Basicaly, the youngling try a throw by lifting his left leg, the jedi... i mean judo (admit he look like a tall yoda), master make him lose his stance by pulling up his right elbow at the same time. The youngling body lose it's momentum due to the gravity center sudden change, Kyuzo-sensei just has to keep pulling a bit more, shifting the gravity point to the right side a bit more, student lose footing and fall. Or i least i believe that's how it is.

[@larkermouse]

I don't know much about Judo, but there were a couple moments in there where I could tell that the younger blackbelts were trying to throw Mifune, and he would just adjust his weight balance to one side, and maybe a little lower, and the student's leverage was suddenly not there. It's so subtle yet effective.

Look at how well the old master stands on the Bubbling Well cavities on his feet. In Taijiquan, the same principles are applied in Tui Shou and Suijiao wrestling.

7:32 wait... U can really do that with technique ? Crazy...

[@darbesky5834]

He's directly using his height against him here. Tall guy's point of leverage (crotch) is nearer to Mifune's aggressive points of leverage (grip/shoulders) and therefore faster/easier to grab + exploit. Mifune is the fulcrum and tall guy is a lever.

This seems very different from the Judo I used to see on tournaments, people used their strength, here it seems so casual and effortless. Of course it's not a real fight but this master picks up his students as if he was throwing a piece of paper, so easy.

It subtle but you can catch when he shifts weight, it's in the feet. This old man is awesome. I think he actually achieved perfect center. I'm pretty good at planting(used to be a bouncer and had to toss A LOT of guys who were bigger/faster/better trained than me out on their ass) but this master would have tossed me around like a rag doll.
