MICRO JUDO | Right vs Left

[@Yupppi]

People ask, Shintaro delivers! Sorry this comment became a wall of text, but I got excited about getting this video and the quality of content just improving all the time lately. Makes me fall love in regular judo practice even more. I loved the RvR micro judo instructional, had to buy it right away when I saw it and it was so worth it. One of the most important things to get your judo going once you know how to throw in my opinion. A must watch for every judoka if you ask me, especially competing ones. Before that video I always felt like I was just hanging on the uke's loose gi. After that instructional I felt like I was actually in control of uke and felt like I was really doing judo. One of my favourites is also an older video where Shintaro does this sequence of uke trying to fix and remedy the situation and Shintaro creating steps towards his throw from those attempts, like he had an answer ready to everything the uke wanted to do and it resulting in his benefit at the same time. And without knowing some of the gripping "rules" judo is so mysterious and you wonder why you can't do anything despite having your grip on the opponent, and why the more experienced player makes almost a fool out of you with how easy they control the situation. I'm surprised there isn't a "full length dvd" on all the micro stuff and developing the opportunities for your judo on Judo Fanatics by Shintaro. It's such a huge concept in terms of effect and importance. The stuff that is almost like judo champion secrets, the stuff that makes the difference when you enter the local competition. These could even be made into drills at dojo to practice and I wish we did too! I personally had a huge disconnect between doing a throw technique effortlessly in isolation and the "real" context. The moment we practiced more real like situation where the uke doesn't let you throw or won't even move if you don't make them move, it wasn't effortless at all. In fact I couldn't get to my throw at all. Even when I eventually learned to move the uke and got into the position where I knew "this is when I can throw", I struggled to fill the space properly and enter the throw - it still wasn't effortless and sort of text book execution. It looked like I started learning that throw from the beginning again. Big thanks too for all the content over the years, I regularly get surprised by finding small videos Shintaro made years and years ago and they pop up in my feed or related videos and there's so much information and details that help. Little nuances like do it in this direction or control this or have your arm like this. And now that Shintaro is revisiting topics with improved skill in demonstrating them on an instructional video and improved production it's just great, the message is delivered more efficiently all the time. I was even reminded of the random outlier videos like "yoga for judokas" and revisiting that gave me a couple of really good solutions to what I had problems with. My hips and thoracic spine thank you. Initially you might think "what is the value of this for me, where's the uchi mata videos" but you really learn their value over time and trying them. There's guaranteed a reason Shintaro decided to film them. The comment got lengthy, but thanks for keeping judo content alive before the Olympics is what I'm trying to say! I got very excited, love nerdy stuff like this, perfecting your judo system from force to technique. And thanks for making (apparently) not sexy content that no one cares about and that is really important. Straight into my judo playlist, I bet I'm gonna have to visit this one again and again over the years to squeeze out all the lessons.

[@tjaiob]

amazing!

[@swimmo201]

As one of those 47 views I really appreciate it Shintaro and Eugene! These micro things really help improving my judo. I’ve been steady getting closer to bombing the higher belts with osoto and uchi mata by trying to gain these little advantages

[@Anonymous_Whisper]

There is like 600 now

[@jeremy4155]

Gripping tricks like this are game changing.

[@tjaiob]

[@Mbgengar]

Inside on the collar and outside on the sleeve isnt something ive ever seen explained but it makes so much sense, thank you so much!

[@Shigashi84]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Anonymous_Whisper]

[@anorton1409]

Golden nuggets. Proud to be one of the 47

[@AlwaysTharin]

Thank you for the tutorial sensei, these small steps really hard to learn from anywhere else and am glad for this tutorial! 🔥🥋

[@Shigashi84]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@bizlio]

Agree on this one, it’s hard to find things such as micro judo moves, this is very informative for anyone who’s new or anyone who try to improve!

[@ВасяПупкин-ц9е4ы]

Thank you 🤝💪💪

[@bizlio]

Thanks for the tutorial sensei appreciate your Effort of doing this!

[@ShakenBake444]

Thanks for another fantastic breakdown video!

[@Ninja9JKD]

Very cool. I like to see videos on intricate details like this one.

[@thierrymartinsribeirosilva816]

Very happy to be one of the 47, thank you very much Shintaro and Eugene.

[@imbroteinshake]

Now I just need the left Vs right XD

[@sofief9196]

Question for Eugene or for specifically left vs left: How does one defend or attack when the opponent switches from right versus left to left versus left? I'm a lefty and the upper ranks always confuse me in randori with this 😅 also glad to be a part of the 47 people who find this useful! It's hard to find content that covers right versus left stuff 🙏 thank you!

[@tomsamsungandroid5402]

Pure gold! Thank you.

[@VTdarkangel]

This is the gripping game. Excellent video! Thank you.

[@victoriablack355]

The 47 of us really appreciate this stuff. Inside on the collar, outside on the sleeve. Gonna remember that

[@denizaydn7716]

great video

[@randallharter]

The nuances are where the success comes from. Thank you!

[@Shigashi84]

What's the most challenging part of judo for you?

[@bizlio]

Foot work..

[@guppy2688]

Griping

[@wanderer5200]

Standing up after being thrown.

[@Anonymous_Whisper]

A bigger slightly more knowledgeable older brother 😅

[@jolier1313]

Grip fighting and standing up game before anyone has their grips. How to gain/maintain dominate position. What to do when my opponent has one or two hand grips on me. HOW DO I ATTACK WHEN MY OPPONENT HAS GRIPS ON ME! How to recognize when I'm in a dominate position or when I'm in the disadvantaged/subservient position. What should my feet be doing? How do I distinguish a feint from a real attack? What should my first move be? Where should my feet be, i.e. square, staggered, etc.? How do I know when to bail and try something else? Essentially, micro Judo!!!

[@3YangBros]

Great details love it thanks Sensei👍

[@colorwash7692]

Thank you for this explanation. We do a mix of multiple martial arts and I always struggle with the judo portion. As in every art, there are small little things that make a huge difference in execution and the judo portion, aside from balance, has always been a struggle for me to see. This helps a lot, now I'll be staring at wrists!! : D always appreciate your video breakdowns, really helps me understand why I'm doing the things I'm doing

[@chengbrian]

kumi kata might not be the sexiest part of judo, but without it none of the throws would work. Thank you Shintaro!

[@kenn.alexander]

These tips are underrated. There is a grip break that you taught in class a couple years ago (not going to say what it is lol). I've used it in randori and it's broken the grip 100% of the time. No one else must have been paying attention lol.

[@bizlio]

Agree!

[@ImStillLooking]

Thank you from the 47 people watching ;)

[@andrewwatson8615]

One of the toughest guys that I train with often fights left. This may come in handy. 😂

[@Ryan_Secord]

47 crew checking in.

[@aaronbinsted8414]

realistically the micro judo is a big part of judo though, so as a 47er (veiwers) thanks for the knowledge

[@guillaumel7484]

awesome

[@lucterbogt183]

Love this shit

[@forwardgrappling]

2:50 you sly dog 🐕

[@M4A1MG42]

Devil is always in the details-- don't sleep on the micro judo

[@yashooheydari5853]

Thanks for your practical lessons! I always have trouble with the best ways to execute Kuzushi when my opponent is really resisting or finds a way to escape. Sometimes, I'm even afraid of getting countered. Could you teach me some techniques, especially combo and feint techniques, that use the least amount of energy to get my opponent into position despite their strong resistance? I know physical strength is very important too.
