Levan Saginashvili , Kanai Yoshinobu, and a bunch of Japanese Armwrestling

Levan Saginashvili made his way to Japan for Georgian day and Japan armwrestling traveled in mass to meet him. This was day one of Levan's trip a sparring in Tokyo that would end in being a two day event.
We got to witness a great amount of sparring, but unfortunately it was a hot day and Levan became exhausted and was not able to do the planned matches or rope pull. Lets check out all this footage and hopefully you guys enjoy it. Plus apology about the camera angle. I have to be careful pointing the camera around as people are sensitive in being recorded so I pointed to alleviate that while walking around.
Stay Savage!

Thanks for coming by 💪

[@SavageArmWrestling]

It was an honor to see your strength! Thank you for taking the time to come to Japan and spar with some of us. 💪

[@ranadas449]

Hey Levan Big fan 😊

[@SavageArmWrestling]

I doubt there are many who do not like Levan lol. 👍

[@ranadas449]

@@SavageArmWrestling yeah there are bt let them be... Truth can't be concealed.. Levan is most Powerful arm wrestler and also a nice guy... So I'm his fan not only cz of his strength bt also caz of his being good

[@SavageArmWrestling]

I would also say he is the biggest guy I have seen as well! 😆

[@humanbean3]

I didn't notice yoshi on levan's video. Yoshi Kanai is one of my favorites. I love watching his old matches and seeing his story with John. i think its cool that Levan is visiting japan as well. I hope I can visit Japan before I get too old. It's cool how popular even some fairly "niche" athletes are in japan too! If I was even remotely famous I would move to Japan and just enjoy my incredible fanbase lol. ちなみによしさんは腕相撲の神なんです。動画してくれてありがとう

[@SavageArmWrestling]

I am a big Kanai fan as well. I am looking forward to traveling down and practicing with him for a day. I just have to line it up with a time that he is feeling well. Even after all of his injuries, he is still incredibly strong!

[@wristwrestling]

Cool seeing Yoshi again, I remember his matches at Arm Wars Las Vegas back in the day

[@SavageArmWrestling]

Man...I miss those days! I wish he could still pull like that!

[@EastsideArmWrestling]

Looked like a fun event! Stay savage 💪

[@SavageArmWrestling]

Always my man! Can't wait to get you out here. We should do a big group practice.

[@hamayuki841]

世紀の一戦はまた今度ですね！レヴァンサギナシビリさん、ありがとうございました！！！

[@SavageArmWrestling]

It was a great experience!

[@Markondndhdbsjyny]

Levan is the best

[@SavageArmWrestling]

He is strong and a great guy.

[@user-ot9td9ym9d]

水牛さんガンバ!

[@ancapgrandscribe9546]

Japan’s wondering why there’s two giants that showed up to armwrestle

[@SavageArmWrestling]

It is like watching an old school Japanese giant monster movie!

[@benji_mac]

Epic brother!

[@SavageArmWrestling]

I was just disappointed they didn't do the matches, but I understood due to the situation.

[@Zver2107]

Леван битон

[@user-qo3hj5lk1u]

金井さんと握る時にはもう体力がなかったのかもしれませんね。 万が一レヴァンのスタミナ切れが原因で負けたりしたらいい勝負とは言えませんし金井さんにとっても嬉しくないでしょうし。

[@SavageArmWrestling]

あなたの言う通りだと思います。レヴァンが疲れすぎて簡単に負けたら、両選手にとって残念なことだったでしょう。また、人々はレヴァンが負けたことを過剰に反応し、悪く言うこともよくあります。良いテーブルスパーリングや良いテーブルトレーニングを理解していない人もいます。

[@jetlee2644]

I would like to see Kanai in East vs West

[@SavageArmWrestling]

Yes me too, but sadly we will never see it. Kanai has many older injuries he suffers from, but he still tries to practice from time to time. It shows his passion for the sport.

[@mbolaramanoelina625]

​@@SavageArmWrestlingMaybe as a guest someday? I've commented one of Engin's youtube post a couple of months ago that it would be awesome to have Kanai as a special guest and he reacted but I don't know if it will really happen.

[@SavageArmWrestling]

@mbolaramanoelina625 I have assisted with Knuckles Up and the The High Five and Kanai stated that he doesn't want to due to is health issues and injuries. Not even as a guest as he would feel obligated. 🤔

[@mbolaramanoelina625]

​@@SavageArmWrestlingIt's sad but I understand his choice. We have to respect it. Thanks for the information 🙂

[@SavageArmWrestling]

​@@mbolaramanoelina625he does practice and spar when he has good days. I could try to schedule something if you would like me to head out there and get some footage. Maybe go live? 🤔

[@StevenRayW]

So Levan was supposed to pull Kanai but canceled because he was tired and not feeling well?

[@SavageArmWrestling]

Yes, but there were a lot of factors, I believe. It was hot, and Levan showed up about an 1 to 2 hours early and tried to pull with all the fans. He also flew in the day before this. But they both pulled many people who came to see the event. They made sure all the fans had fun. They are both great athletes and promoters of the sport

[@StevenRayW]

@SavageArmWrestling Thanks for the info. Perhaps it was for the best that they didn't pull in public since both of them have reputations to maintain. It also wouldn't look good for Levan if he'd crush the Japanese GOAT in front of all the local fans.

[@SavageArmWrestling]

That is a good perspective. I have some insight on Mr. Kanai and his health. He has a slew of stacked injuries and they have taken there tole.

[@StevenRayW]

​@@SavageArmWrestlingWhen the Koreans were in town for the Kansai Open last year, they visited Kanai at his gym, but he refused to practice pull with them saying he had a pec injury. (I personally think he might've been trying to avoid pulling Ji Hyunmin, the Korean champ, while being filmed.)

[@SavageArmWrestling]

@StevenRayW Nah, he I was aware of this injury. You can also see it in his eyes when he pulls. You can see he loves the sport, but you can also see he is in pain afterward. I think he would be able to pull the Koreans comfortably on a good day, though. Kanai helps Toshiyuki train for big matches, and Toshiyuki won the match-up at Knuckles Up. It's just a thought. You never know until elbows are on the table.

[@1000JackFoster]

Спасибо!

[@user-dd7ce9bi6u]

水牛さん、、

[@CarnivoreConservative]

Man, you go all the way to japan, but i still havent met ya here in visalia. Thats okay, i have alot, and i mean alot of training before id let you snap my arm off lol.

[@SavageArmWrestling]

LoL 😆 he is sooooo strong it made even our strongest athlete look like average pullers....

[@CarnivoreConservative]

@SavageArmWrestling I'm not a levan fan, but that would have been cool to see

[@SavageArmWrestling]

It was. Seeing the power difference really motivates me to train harder!

[@CarnivoreConservative]

@SavageArmWrestling okay. But wait for me lol. Do you ever go to Kevin's to train?

[@SavageArmWrestling]

@CarnivoreConservative I don't know kevin lol, where is it?

[@FaisalKhan-dv8iw]

Is youshi back?

[@SavageArmWrestling]

Sadly...no, Yoshinobu Kanai still spars from time to time but never fully returns.

[@greencarrot5311]

Im in Osaka T^T

[@SavageArmWrestling]

I apologize and understand the challenge of travel. Hopefully they do this again next year and Levan makes the trip once again!

[@user-uo1rg5rg2t]

なぜ弱い奴が金井さんの前にやるの

[@SavageArmWrestling]

It was a booth that was running for a few hours. It was actually a great surprise to see Yoshinobu arrive as he is retired.

[@marcusmouya]

Annoying rock intro. PLease stop using it.

[@SavageArmWrestling]

Done, I have already shifted to a short and simple one.

[@marcusmouya]

@@SavageArmWrestling otherwise great stuff!

[@SavageArmWrestling]

@marcusmouya thank you. Plus, I like the feedback as I want to make more videos. I think I am gonna travel around Japan and meet up with teams, introduce them, and spar with them. Give their location as well, in the event someone would like to come practice with them. One of those teams would definitely be Yoshinobu's team.
