Ono Shohei Judo Breakdown - Grips, Throws, Techniques & Tactics

Such an interesting judoka to study. Was originally 29 minutes but had to cut it down a lot. Might make shorter versions of these in the future!

I appreciate your effort in making these videos. It was very educational.

[@reymysterio13__50]

Great video! I remember you always said Hashimoto had weird gripping strategies, hope you'll do an analysis of him aswell.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Yeah he would be another great one

[@hugodewar5335]

Love your breakdowns mate, can't wait until the next one comes out.

[@hodgsoncatalin3243]

Well done! Nice video, great explanation regarding Ono's tactics and techniques. All the best to all judokas from the world!

[@kenwintin3014]

Great analysis of a great judoka. Keep up the good work!

[@mat3206]

Nice work, keep them coming!

[@grenity]

Great video!! Please keep up. A lot of great judo players that deserve to be studied. To me it looks like he takes the pistol grip, all legal if you are attacking. Cheers from Portugal!

[@guanglaikangyi3795]

Please continue this series, its amazing 😃

[@85Vindicare]

amazing video!

[@AliMohammadi-sp1mw]

great work

[@nastyriffs]

Great video. I'm new to practicing Judo and watching Ono Shohei was one of the factors that inspired me to start.

[@Joseph981000]

Same. Especially after watching the 2021 Olympics. Didn’t know what Judo was till then.

[@vbvb8780]

Very good video. I think Ono is the greatest judoka of this era and maybe also of all time. To dominate like he does in maybe the thoughest weight class is incredible.

[@ShorkCODM]

Yes, insane power and strength, but his game plan is way better, he is out of the norm for his grips and style, he knows his strength and plays the rule to his advantage. He is setting the standard for future 73kg judoka.

[@ohshsh9368]

Great video and Fav player!! I wish mimic him someday!! Thanks!

[@juiy222]

Fantastically edited video. It's great that you use clips from multiple fights demonstarting the same point rather than just showing a one off occasion so we can see how consistently he applies these tactics.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@zurielauguiste]

I've noticed his stance is much lower than his opponents. That makes him harder to throw, but gives his throws more power because they come from the legs.

[@jamesnapier3802]

Great stuff!

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Thanks!

[@Lucyfer619]

nice stuff

[@ar4uj]

amazing, yours analisings is the best!!! im fa

[@kristofferlanghellefjrtoft8038]

Nice video! I Hope you make more videos like this! What about maruyama joshiro, or nomura?

[@FirstLast_Nba]

He can bully the bully's, the Georgians and khazaks or any other bully culture judokas.

[@rhuanlopes5753]

Hey bro, nice video! Could you do one about Abe's gamestyle? Your content is really amazing man! Saves from Brazil

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Yeah Abe is a good one, I’ll do it someday!

[@bernardovalle6414]

5:20 In Brazil we call that ''little cat's grip''. Besides the weird names we brazilians like to call things, it is very used in BJJ, and in the IJF circuit the rule over that grip is that you can do it, but you need to attack as soon as you get it. If you fight for to long using it, its shido.

[@tee1532]

can you make kumikata-only compilations for some of the GOATs?

[@Snowboarderr4Life]

Love your videos, learning alot!

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Glad to hear it!

ono real king

[@ornn.sblacksmith.a5303]

Breakdown for Takeshi Sasaki when ??? good stuff as always

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Maybe in the future. Need more footage of him first

[@nach000x]

Great video, really enjoyed it! Ono commonly grips inside of the sleeve, is that not illegal?

[@JudoHighlights2015]

I think it is illegal but he attacks immediately so it’s not picked up on

[@mohamedchibanibahiamar9555]

Great video. Looks like a pistol grip

[@mrt862]

more

[@simbabwe2907]

Onos one weakness is that the grip he likes to take(armpit grip) is not the best grip for Uchimata. So for his ippon Uchimata he needs to change grip.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Yea, but he doesn’t do Uchimata RvR. In fact, most people do uchimata LvR. I think it’s more effective that way

[@simbabwe2907]

@@JudoHighlights2015 Exactly .And this is one reason why he strugles against heavy weights.Ono is trying to win the all japan championship.If he takes the armpit grip against a heavyweight than the heavyweight doesnßt need to worry about front throws and only about back throws.Koga did Seoinage with the armpit grip.The ancient Judoka Matsushita was able to beat almost everyone with Haraigoshi with the armpit grip..But Ono will find a way i am sure.

[@reymysterio13__50]

@@simbabwe2907 Is he going to participate in this year's All Japan?

[@user-qz9hc7rg7b]

I think that his tactics are mostly based on his dominant athletic abilities. His attacks are very direct, most of the time no feint, no combo, just overwhelm the opponent and crush them. Great to watch but there is not much to learn from this.

[@user-qz9hc7rg7b]

4:26 he throws brandon fron the sopranos 😂

[@judowithkeishin]

any chance we could see the 29 min version?

[@red8884]

What rules about grip are worst for judo do you guys think? Personally i think there shouldn't be any restrictions on gripping. Only inactivity and stalling should be penalized imo.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Yeah, what’s wrong with using a pistol grip offensively?

[@Shiren7]

hi can you explain why onos uchi-mata head dive is no hansoku-make? good to see in the fights against raicu and orujov at the tokyo olympics.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

To my knowledge, head dives are only illegal if you defend with a head dive. Offensively it’s ok? Lol

[@awesomeman5898]

The keyword highlighted with red font in Article 18, page 127 of IJF rulebook: headfirst. Quote: "diving headfirst onto the mat" Ono does mostly spinning uchimata, with both of his hands gripping opponent's gi. Combined with the fact that uchimata is done in cartwheel/see-saw motion, 'landing' with head is consequence of the technique but not the intention. Therefore, he's not diving headfirst. Dangerous? Yes Hansoku make? No

[@juiy222]

@@JudoHighlights2015 head dives are illegal if its offensive as well. In particular uchi mata where you put your head down is illegal. The reason Ono gets away with it is because it goes down whilst he is rotating laterally or diagonally rather than him rotating over his head / vertically. The later is illegal the first two are not.

[@paulstarstarpaul5700]

As far as I know it’s on one hand head first, but what’s in that case even more important is that it has to be head first STRAIGHT into the mat. Ono plants his head but doesn’t role straight but to the side.

[@juiy222]

@@paulstarstarpaul5700 I've definitely seen disqualifications for head diving even with 2 grips. It frustrates me greatly when this happens because uke has tried to counter by tipping them over the other shoulder and the result is a head dive as this is not tori's fault.

[@hugoperrier5927]

didnt found anything about this "wave" kuzushi, is that pulling while you are going forward to push ? Just saw the loop on your video but if you could explain to us :--)

[@JudoHighlights2015]

It can be either a pull or a push. The wave is a generation of force from your legs up throughout your whole body. Look up Go Tsunoda, he doesn’t specifically say it, but you can clearly see it

[@TheDrunkenGrape]

looks like a pistol grip for sure. Ono is an awesome judoka for sure though

[@gunkingytgaming8380]

Моё мнение дзю до, это прежде всего борьба рук.

[@pizzacrusher4632]

is he a nice guy too? or is he pretty much fully convinced of how awesome he is (which he is, I am arguing)?

Both

La competicion es una parte del JUDO de GIGORO KANO *EL RANDORI" un rayo de los TANTOS del JUDO *(ya que en competencia uno no cede ; cosa que es antiJudo.mas CUANDO cae mal el UKE * en un gesto antideportivo???

[@argkex9091]

If it's a pistol grip his attack is legal, because he attacks immediately, but I don't think it's a pistol grip. Ono inserts his left fingers into Orujov's sleeve and is illegal. He did the same against Ugo Legrand in 2013. Because he is a world class judoka and a living legend doesn't mean he plays always fair.

[@matiasg713]

Do takato brother

[@JudoHighlights2015]

That sounds complicated… I’ll try it!

[@krukpolny8505]

HIROMI TOMITA JUDO. You Tube.

[@mmongiello722]

I know his grip by the name of Cats claw(putting 4 fingers inside the sleave and thumb on outside). I dont belive this is a legal grip.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

you mean the fingers are on the inside (grip)? Not actually inside the gi? The thumb I'm still unsure where it is or how he goes from 4 fingers to pistol.

[@mmongiello722]

@@JudoHighlights2015 I think he is putting his fingers inside the oppenents sleave palm deep with just his thumb on the outside, then making a fist. It very strong becuase you have full control with your fist stuck to the opponents wrist. Typically, when you see a pistol grip the thumb will be over the fingers and gea will be sticking out of the top.
