bodhi tree lol

[@markd2797]

Underrated comment.

[@viaredzagames]

God damn. Hahahahahah loving this comment dude.

[@damienholland8103]

When I was in Jujitsu I remember grappling with someone who had many years of Judo training. Their timing is so perfect that they can feel exactly when to throw you it's pretty cool. Anyone else who tries to throw me doesn't get anywhere. Taking them down can be tricky, too.

[@aplacetobewithmythoughts7428]

Yeah it feels like you're just watching yourself be thrown when a good Judo guy goes for it

[@Yupppi]

Sparring with a good judoka is a humbling experience. You don't even know you gave an opening or didn't stand stable and then you're looking at the roof.

[@mysterio952]

Kick em in da nuts

[@Wavemaninawe]

2:12 Sick level of control.

[@rodrigocout1nho]

Crazy

[@user-rm6bv5qb5y]

Indeed

[@Totocellux]

yep ... body & mind "very" sick level of control :-)

[@SojuNinja]

Breakdance

[@ballsdeep6985]

Actually it's pretty easy You don't need to do the spin

[@katclairejewels4125]

No matter what anyone says, the amount of dedication to judo by this master SHOEI OONO could not have been attained without his devotion in hardest training. He is born to be the champion of this Japanese BUDOU.We all wish him well in the up and coming Tokyo Olympics. 👍🙏 Kimmi

[@improvingdesign]

One of those guys went down like a spinning top. Very tough control and manipulation of strength. He is a great athlete

[@83KaLion808]

2:12!!! Is the most amazing move I've ever seen!!!

[@BriasRocks]

Same top 10 or 5 for sure

[@user-vn6ym7wl8v]

Yoko tomoe nage

[@americanmambi]

Absolutely beautiful!!!! Judo = Art in motion

[@GladRichGirl]

damn that tomoe nage at 2:20 is such a nice variation for his competitive gameplan. Literally next to no chance of defense against it.

[@StudioNB]

Ok, with this guy's build, intense glare and facial expression, he looks exactly like Ryu!

[@asteriskcolon]

Ryu knows Tomoe Nage too, at that. His standard kick-button throw.

[@forealtho8792]

For Real!!!

[@vitezu]

If Ryu had down syndrome

[@LetsFish204]

The hairstyle too

[@HaloToday]

who knows, what if it is Ryu just brushing up on his judo skills

[@annaschmidt853]

In the first few throws when he meets with resistance he relaxes just a little bit and lets the opponent relax too, and then in that moment he just makes his move. Its the classic push pull exercise taken to the next level.

[@MrSkyNet23]

Simple moves that you learn within your first few months of training that anyone can do. And all he did was wait for the opportunity to present itself. Beautiful.

[@Krisztian4u]

Sure. You are one funny guy. It is one thing to learn something...and an other to do something with it. Keep practicing and one day You might understand. ✌️🙏

[@brottarnacke]

Gotta love the break dance tomoe nage. Used to be one of my favorites as well.

[@vbvb8780]

The best skilled judoka in the world at the moment, along with Abe Hifume. Incredible.

[@veilofreality]

If I remember correctly, after winning the Olympic Gold, he said he was disappointed by his performance ..Lol

[@yassertv9368]

واش كاش جديد في باب الحارة

[@yassertv9368]

Grand goeuor ono

[@NONAME-GIVEN]

High level of situational awareness. changes direction in the blink of an eye.

[@ukyo2010]

Yes. It sounds scary thrilling going against him.

[@LRRPFco52]

He has a fundamental and artistic level of understanding of energy, stays in the moment with quickness, and decides aggressively ahead of his opponents in a very fluid manner. His foundation with the ground is adaptive, rooted extremely well, independent of specific body parts. If he needs to use his head as a post, for example 1:10, it comes to him like breathing.

[@vivoocampo470]

LRRPFco52 o

[@Jason-wc3fh]

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[@mohd1nagyyyyy]

His form is impeccable. It’s just beautiful to watch.

[@goshido100]

i cant even imagine the skill and years of training, but damn, it looks amazing, well done !

[@samuraisaxon6800]

He has arguably the most beautiful Uchi Mata I have ever seen. I’m beyond inspired

[@devinsmassivenuts]

I finally got yellow belt in my judo school

[@usbaka]

Good Job... Stay with it...

[@Richard-yy8tn]

Keep pushing it, gambate!!!

[@abdeldahbi7575]

Never give up

[@Andrew-pu8ly]

Yes ... amazing core-strength and control but Judo fans will notice he is almost always lower ... head down ...and pulling his opponet in ....while his opponent is "above" him and trying to pull away .... deadly combo .

[@user-cp3ip3rw7r]

0:11 first opponent is Riki Nakaya who won the silver medal in London Olympic 2012.

[@primro9403]

I always have a high respect and fascination for judo, when I ways maybe 17 or so playing high school football in shape bench pressing 275 6 times as my final set to give you an idea of my strength, my cousin who could not bench 135 pounds but learn judo as a child man handle me when we would wrestle

[@badrrharri]

It's about functional strenght, bench press doesnt give you that.

[@terry1390]

Who fucking cares !!!

[@sonofyhvh6138]

Terry 13 You obviously if you took time out to comment

[@ilyassnejjar6195]

He trained to fight, you didn't.

[@jl5177]

dick

[@ironmindvideopodcast9309]

What a sensational athlete, the skill and finesse is astonishing

[@mikeyoutube9233]

Honestly it doesn't really look that amazing. Then you remember those are other high level professionals. He is tossing them around like they are youtube commenters.

[@kovenmaitreya7184]

Mike KZbin Exactly! At these high levels it's a game of inches usually... If it were you or I in there, it'd be over in an instant and we'd be wondering what the hell happened while the camera roll shows us enjoying a luxury flight courtesy of airline Shohei, lol!

[@noahbryson2122]

True that

[@provakarroychy1535]

Koven Maitreya Haha! Nice.

[@womanoffaithprophetesspatr7690]

Lolol!!!

[@dr.everythingb.alright303]

+Mike KZbin In the words of Roy Jones, "And they got the nerve to say I ain't fighting nobody... I just make them _look_ like nobody!"

[@daa3417]

Gentle way.

[@amancalledfroggy]

Finally the one in a decade successor to kosei inoue, the same way he succeeded koga. Just perfect technique.

[@christophriess5274]

Amazing explosiveness. That Yoko Tomoe Nage from a position in which the other guy thought he had the dominant grip... . Really impressive.

[@kencur9690]

Against me he would be able to show his amazing Judo skills in just 0.5 moves.

[@ezrapound6063]

Those throws are crazy!

[@ukyo2010]

I love that uchi mata. Pretty impressive skills in general. He has the wins to show for them.

[@swatbadge]

Am I the only one who find this simply beautiful? Is like art on the techniques. #respect

[@vesuviusenigma7739]

He makes it look exciting again

[@Tahel26]

Ono is a legend. The best legend.🥋

[@ninodivino1088]

Amazing Tome nage...wow

[@zgamer05yt27]

1:57 if that was me I would be dead

[@Surfacekilla1]

Zgamer05 YT same

[@faizullakhan1556]

Yep, my neck would have snapped. I wonder why they don't fall cleanly with the neck tucked in. It is the first 3 months of Judo training, learning to fall. I see it often in tournaments, they just don't fall cleanly.

[@princedesperado7787]

because they do not want to lose,but that is a reason they might end up in a chair. I made that mistake as well my friend and tore a tendon in a sparring session. We need to learn to let our ego go sometimes. If you are already in the middle of the throw,better fall down,rather then try and avoid it somehow. We have to learn to lose sometimes.

[@salmon1mt]

wow, I don't even do judo but this comment is one of the best things I have read during my time on youtube

[@hayamatakenaka502]

If that happened on the concrete, no one can survive I think.

[@bhuthemanakuma7557]

His damn good ,well-developed core keeps in control

[@HaneenIAdam]

Ono never seize's to impress! 2:07 Yoko Tomoe Nage is sheer perfection.

[@paramedic28154]

Awesome vid!

[@bodhisattva99]

1:31 gorgeous throw

[@markdonovan1540]

A sublime Hane Goshi executed to perfection.

[@vexiiie7675]

The fact that their not wearing any padding like karate and take into account the angles and power along with timing and technique of such a small guy....that’s what makes it amazing

[@varanid9]

I'm more into Kung Fu, so I never realized Judo could be so dynamic to watch. A couple of absolutely amazing throws here. There's a BJJ school near me, not MMA, but a real Gracie Jujitsu school just 10 minutes from me, and I understand that it is actually a style of Judo, regardless of what some of the children arguing here are saying. I think I'll go see how much the classes are.

[@froz3ncat]

I'm 6 months late but hey, how it's going? Did you manage to go check out BJJ? I'm just asking cus I train BJJ; and just in case you didn't get to go check it out... It's really fun to train BJJ if you enjoy strategy and thinking. Kinda like physical chess.

[@kovenmaitreya7184]

yes but bjj is dedicated to judo newaza essentially. So 90% is ground fighting. But you get REAALLLLL good at that in a short time and can still dominant opponents like judo allows you to. Doing all grappling arts is best imo.

[@hiddenone8844]

Lol Kung fu

[@hiddenone8844]

Koven Maitreya yeah but BJJ doesn’t really emphasise on stand up grappling so it’s just assumed you go straight to the ground Should study both system to get an overall coverage

[@kovenmaitreya7184]

Hidden One yup that's why I said doing all grappling arts is best 😊

[@rohitkohok885]

beautiful.............

[@dennisthedog4015]

Thats brilliant

[@VS3d0v]

[@Utubesuxmycock]

Massive respect. The guys an absolute master.

[@fugbabylon7229]

[@vietnguyen-rc7kk]

[@Hyperpandas]

[@idleonlooker1078]

Both are examples of famous last words!! 😂👍

[@rabby77777]

wow what strength that guy has his amazing.. i want my son to learn this

[@drewsky1008]

He's a beast a a great judoka...

[@goldbeltalan]

I've always wondered if somebody could master Yoko Tomoe Nage and use it in a competition. This man is incredibly skilled with that throw.

[@thomastedder654]

That move between the leg flip was insane.

[@philyip4432]

This guy is a judo god !

[@sigma699]

[@brottarnacke]

I think the guy bridged on his head to try to avoid getting thrown on his back. Judo guys are crazy.
