100k! Time to spill the beans!

[@thebeni06]

Aaron Wolf is my personal favourite and an inspiration. In fact, I started judo at the begining of this year thanks to him by watching his videos on YT. You know the ones with Donmai where he goes to highschool training and beat the crap at every student 😂. Even though its in japanese and I dont understand a word, it is still a great watch. Before discovering him I was a poor Bjj guy with Zero stand up game. And now, one year in the making, I'm shit standing but at least I have an orange belt! (Oh, and your highlights of his Uchimata and Ouchi are crazy good! Thx for those, watched them a ton) I really hope he's selected for the Olympics. He may not win it, or even medal, but at least we get to see him more. Hopefully we get more ippons to watch from. Then he'll retire and will get more sweet judo content on YT, and even maybe an instructional! I really liked his yoko otoshi/lat drop and his yoko guruma during this Tokyo GS. And thanks for your content!

[@jontibertsch]

Another great highlights video, thank you. Abe @ 10:41 Arai @ 1:10 Bashaev @2:40 O-soto @ 5:00

[@DaAxiomatic]

Correction: 3:30 - ko uchi gaeshi 3:41 & 4:23 - sumi otoshi (it doesn't need to look picture perfect) 4:07 - uki otoshi

[@JudoHighlights2015]

3:41 and 4:23 look the same and I don’t agree with either of those names. I do for the other two though!

[@DaAxiomatic]

You're right that 3:41 & 4:23 are the same. I'd still label them as sumi otoshi because the technique is about throwing your opponent backwards using only your grips. Like I said, they don't have to look picture perfect.

[@Acedscy]

@@DaAxiomatic Yup, is sumi otoshi, backward throw with only grips.

[@KongoOtto]

Yes, clearly sumi otoshi

[@MyLifeWithFilm]

Excellent footage and commentary as always. Yeah, I also hope that they'll park this "no name technique = no point" mantra. This might open a more creative judo down the road.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

I hope so too!

[@Mr.Moonie]

I think its all sumi otoshi them nameless. I loved every minute of that, was the whole fandango👍👍💪🥃

[@appidydafoo]

congrats on 100k, thank you

[@lotharhuke5367]

WOW! 2:39 That Bashaev technics! :)))

[@aqiria]

As there is a big break after this Saturday, do you plan on making some judoka ippon videos? I think you could make really entertaining video of Tushishvili's highlights, if you go through his contests since let's say 2017, you'd find some really incredible stuff.

[@bleidwafer]

For your Information: Trippel has had a lot of knee problems since the olympics and is basiclly struggeling to get back on full health. Nice video, keep the work up!

[@JudoHighlights2015]

TY!

[@brentrickards9008]

the technique at 3:33 is sumi-otoshi

[@deloniriebi-xe8ch]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JudoArt]

Dota Arai is absolute genius. I love this boy.

[@FreshsoCleanYep]

Abe Hifumi, what a badass

[@Ppharrer96]

3:36 Sumi-otoshi

[@JudoHighlights2015]

True!

[@giladeis7526]

Not in this video but Uta Abe's koshi guruma from the world championship has to be in the top ippons of the year. Keep up the great work man I love your videos!

[@mrmalayweather4850]

Congrats on the 100k subs, hopefully you will do a vid talking about yourself and what you are doing in japan

[@JudoHighlights2015]

In January!

[@barba5209]

New olympic dilemma: Russia (or AIN I guess) -100kg.

[@jarrodtuck1867]

In regards to nameless techniques...I think it's more purist when scoring was based on diminishing control, ippon for a square delivery to the back, wazari for side to back, Yuko for bum to side, Koka for bum to ground. Ippon of the year...the heavyweight who countered a counter with a kata garuma/seionage technique..it was flow state, found and at heavyweight with that strength...and I've never seen that before, all adds to perfect judo and at least a candidate spot. Loving your narration btw. Chr from Aotearoa

[@mattcollins9499]

Awesome vid!!! Your third last ippon, Gantulga - Kim with the obi tori gaeshi score. What do you think happened to Gantulga!? I saw that one live (on JudoTV) and it shocked me.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Neck injury?

[@zoltannagy1813]

ABE at 10:46 a huge O Soto Gari.

[@red8884]

Thanks for the video. Do you have it with japanese commentary as well? They always go mental.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

No. That footage is copyrighted by the TV outlets

[@kalebyamilaldanaperez5727]

8:32 amazing ippon

[@CarmenRodriguez-zv2fz]

Muy buenos hipones si señor así se hace Judo

[@barba5209]

Can you make a 'creating a JudoHighlights video'?

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Why would I do that

[@barba5209]

@@JudoHighlights2015 because i'd like to see it and people ask for it? Please?

[@juiy222]

The throw at 17:30 ish with split hips. Im the UK we would call that uki-goshi. Similar to ogoshi with the undergrip but only on the nearside hip not both.

[@bodomanthey497]

First one: Sumi-otoshi, second one: O-uchi-gaeshi.

[@reymysterio13__50]

Tasoev is such a good judoka, hope he's in the Olympics.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

I think that Teddy win will be a big plus for him

[@reymysterio13__50]

​@@JudoHighlights2015Dunno if they'll allow the Russian athletes though. But it would be a shame to not have Igolnikov, Adamian, Tasoev, etc in the Olympics.

[@barba5209]

13:22 Yes, we should invent new techniques, but exaggerating, that would ruin the point of it. For example, "Hantaisoku" means 'other side' in English, so why not not having 'Hantaisoku-Kata-Guruma'?

[@7-_Kh]

Спасибо. Отличная работа. Как себя чувствует парень, которого француз вырубил подножкой? А ведь на заре создания дзю - до такие случаи были весьма частыми. Татами тогда были из рисовой соломы. Потому и борьбу в партере игнорировали. Всё решал бросок.

[@wearebowy]

R.Nagayama Fainally....He got a Olympic ticket See you at Paris in 2024

[@Pirrrola68]

Didn't think tasoev was an uchi mata guy

[@androthsatyr]

Not sure if it's a big ask but I'm new to watching Judo so may I ask you to include names of the competitors and maybe their country/category in your videos. Thanks a ton and keep it up!

[@JudoHighlights2015]

That’s a tall ask, but most times you can see the scoreboard in the back with all the details that you’re after

[@Samu_03]

Great video as usual! I have One question: what's the name of the technique at 8:31? Koshi guruma or Ashi guruma? I personally think Is ashi guruma because i don't see the hip lift

[@jayr777]

definitely a koshi waza

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Tai otoshi

[@jayr777]

@@JudoHighlights2015 looks very similar to the half taio shintaro does

[@jayr777]

​@JudoHighlights2015 but still I think I see hip engaging

[@juiy222]

​​@@jayr777sort of like an uki-goshi crossed with a tai otoshi?

[@EbuzzNYC]

Good point about the Japanese, they are traditionalists to the core, but in this day and age with the ban on leg grabs, there needs to be adjustments and Japanese don't adjust too well. This "name the technique" issue is only used to fit narratives, not everyone can pull clean techniques like Abe.

[@jnwoodard8764]

I feel that if it’s not deemed a clean throw the match should continue on the mat, or fighting back to standing for a second throw attempt.

[@ETiDeQuenVesSendo]

3:30 sumi otoshi or something 3:43 body fold

[@vinceocratic]

Interesting theory about the drop Seo especially if you factor in Nomura. I’m toying with the idea that maybe Nomura was more fundamentally sound than the next generations. Or. Perhaps we’re seeing a change in the work ethic and modern judokas are chasing easier techniques.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

He also had a lot of other techniques. Ueoka is definitely a specialist

[@vinceocratic]

@@JudoHighlights2015 but the drop seo was his bread and butter, in my opinion. Nomura still does seminars here and there and the seo is his go-to. Just my opinion.

[@euanmorse]

The rest of the field has also got better since Nomura's day.

[@PoDo2213]

I think Trippel was Injured but im not 100% sure

[@matej7501]

That second ippon from Bashaev....

[@notech7273]

Judo doesn't continue in the ground?

[@tuguldurotgondorj6542]

i dont think Bashaevs one should be called uchi mata sukashi, its uki goshi, hand technique usually done by mongolians

[@ianjohnston9236]

Best throw: Bashaev @ 03:02. Making something out of nothing. 😮

[@fiderdvis4714]

all does technique with out a name is called bulldozer lol 🌽

[@warjones7399]

uchi mata look difficult for taller fighters

[@Vaitamanu]

17:01 shouldn't be banned? It appears quite dangerous for the opponent's head. At least, not banned, but sanctionned if badly executed. I don't understand we can discuss about head diving but authorize people to plant others people head into the mat...

[@JudoHighlights2015]

I feel like white was trying to defend. I would’ve rolled over my shoulder for sure

[@Vaitamanu]

@@JudoHighlights2015 I understand that, but you shouldn't give uke the only responsability for a safe throw...

[@JudoHighlights2015]

@@Vaitamanu not in competition. We’re lucky the rule is to throw someone on their back. People are just out there to win.

[@64wy4x8s]

I blame Travis Stevens for spreading this whole "split hip" bs.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

I believe it was popularized by Toshihiko Koga

[@64wy4x8s]

@@JudoHighlights2015 I mean the terminology, not the action itself. I myself prefer the lunging stance for most hip throws.

[@r.s.819]

Toshihiko Koga popularized it, but he (Toshihiko) learned it from his older brother Motohiro, who learned it from Isao Okano.

Hahaha. Judo is wrestling(not Olympic wrestling) with rough pajamas! Wrestling is as ancient as human and animal existence on this planet. And you don't have to name anything to take someone down or throw them on their back!

What’s wrong with wrestling?

[@Yecco]

@@JudoHighlights2015 there is a specific championship for this. Or use karate with judo is also, not a problem? If this keep doing like this, in a near future judo will be erradicated for something like mixed martial arts... not judo

[@djordjeceran2557]

Nonsense

[@milanojudo]

Jigoro Kano learned kata guruma from a wrestling book he borrowed from the library and many Judo techniques already existed in wrestling, so.....

[@Yecco]

Good tales! Master jigoro learning contemporary wrestling around 1910! Great lessons in 1900! Once judo stablished as group of movements and techniques.. influenced by one or another technique is irrelevant today. Is the same argument that any martial art is derived from ancient Chinese monks and accept any weapon during judo practice because centuries ago the first practioner used weapons.
