Nagase Takanori Judo Breakdown - Grips, Throws, Techniques & Tactics

My favorite judoka! Quite a basic gripping strategy, but he has perfected it alongside his wonderful techniques. Will he go for gold again at Paris? Who knows?!

On of the greatest tactic judo players. He is a huge example for people who don’t have an explosive force

[@akugbeorou3868]

Please do keep producing these judoka breakdowns. Highly appreciated!

[@zanvrhovnik]

Breakdowns are really appreciated.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Thanks!

@@JudoHighlights2015 Who will be next? What about Abe Uta?

[@anix8047]

I love this kind of video! Very well broken down and explained. Thank you!

[@cerotidinon]

Found this after your newest breakdown video. Really well made, keep up the great work!

[@Yupppi]

That grip break against the belgian was mind blown. I watched it so many times to see what he actually did to make it happen.

[@megumikodachi8148]

@3:18, right before the grip break, he slides his own grip higher up, genius.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

You have a keen eye sir

[@Septem7.]

I've been watching him sins 2018, he's judo is freaking amazing!!

[@user-nq8nm3if5c]

Love your judo videos keep it up!

[@akinlososevictor9494]

Awesome

[@gavinkolp5459]

My favorite judoka for sure! Thanks for making this one I was hoping you would, and thanks for getting me into judo with your channel!

[@gavinkolp5459]

I will watch this about 300 times

[@grenity]

I love this analysis series!!! dont stop please! please do Ebinuma!

[@reymysterio13__50]

Great video. I hope Nagase tries to go to Paris, so tbat we can see him vs Sasaki in the international circuit (surprisingly they've nevee fought before, even inside Japan). Hashimoto next please! Also, do you plan on doing videos like these for the women?

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Yeah, maybe for the more popular ladies

[@alizamzam11]

Best skilled judoka. Pure judo no scrambling

[@Itzak15]

This is how I aspire to play. Very clean Japanese judo from Nagase

[@bjarkebuch861]

This is for sure my new favorite judo-video - even better than your last one on Nagase. Love it! Thank you for this.

[@sebastianhuang]

I like him because everything look so effortless

[@user-ti7yr4rc9m]

thank you!

[@keremyzc7210]

I don't know how many times I watch this video.

[@svish5790]

Hi, I'm not a judo guy but I'm thinking about starting (been doing jiu-jitsu about 5 years). These breakdowns are great. Do you think you could put links to the throws that you're referring to in these breakdowns for people like me that are interested but know very little about the sport/art? Cheers

[@lazintata]

Great comments, great video, great Nagase!

[@942mattu]

Nagase's throws often look like he is tricking his opponents. They have no clue where he is going or going to do and then he just trips them. Amazing judoka

[@user-vc1zf2oe9q]

great

[@mfp5585]

Ashi guruma above the knee is called o guruma (a few examples in this video).

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Cheers!

[@JD-ww2ri]

Ashi guruma: Tori puts the back of his lower leg on uke's kneecap. O guruma: Tori puts his leg on uke's lower abdomen (Source: Kodokan judo: Throwing Techniques-Toshiro Daigo 10th Dan) I think Nagase attacks most of the time with ashi guruma,and reajusts the position of the leg according to the opponent's reaction.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

@@JD-ww2ri I have to disagree with this. There has been a lot of reclassification of techniques by the Kodokan since 2005 and frankly a lot of their changes don't align with what is commonly used within the dojo. What if the lower leg is not on uke's kneecap for Ashi Guruma, lower for example? O Guruma: Nobody would aim for the lower abdomen, that's just ineffective.

[@JD-ww2ri]

@@JudoHighlights2015 Thats interesting and sounds logical.In my personal experience in randori I always attack at the knee cap level,is more secure and efective. Anyway, great video,Nagase is one of my favourite fighters,his gripping tactics are one of the best.

[@franckymafra3045]

Some uchi mata sem to be more harai goshi ? Netherless , great champion !!! Work lead to success ...

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Those are ashi guruma or o guruma. His Uchimata is very uchimata-like

[@horizon4618]

[@christianmichon1940]

That kind of jufo is especially very hardware to imitate....

[@sanchopansa1950]

for once a commentator who is worth his salt. really appreciate.

[@hodgsoncatalin3243]

Yes... I think he's the one of the best at his category ( - 81 Kg). I like and I watch him on KZbin channels. I like his style and I believe he's a little bit underrated ... and that shouldn't be! He is so relaxed & fast when he execute his techniques ...and the opponents don't see what's coming! Very stylish judoka ! Cheers ...

[@hodgsoncatalin3243]

that's the correct word " effortless" .... Nagase style is effortless !

[@iamblizzardboy]

Hello, I’m new to judo. What is left vs right and right vs right? Thank you

[@JudoHighlights2015]

So as a judo player you have a dominant side, you either like to turn left or right into your throws. This affects how you grip, so the way right vs right grip is very different to how right vs left grips

[@kristianOLS]

Ono apparently can’t beat nagase. Given ono’s performance in all japan and team japan competition in the Olympics, I don’t get him being given so much clout
