The most lethal comedy duo on the internet

[@johnathannelsonento2040]

So this is what he meant. A while back in an interview Travis said "if I can get your chest to my back, I can throw anyone in the world." It didn't click until now.

[@keyzydelosreyes746]

You guys need to make a show together. It doesn’t even gotta be judo related.

[@kananisha]

Their relationship is so awkward 😅

[@Ryzanify44]

the end was funny tho lmao

[@sway71]

The moment 5 seconds in when Shintaro says, "My buddy. My good buddy." and Travis shakes his head lol.

[@Shikami85]

Amog tactics.

[@ArthurKwonLee]

I feel like Travis is a ball buster. Great throw!

[@Qunyc1985]

Yea he is . He is American and we crushed Japan.

[@Qunyc1985]

@@isaaczucker8583 You are new to this. I am a New Yorker. When his father was opening a dojo...my father was in the rice field in Quang Tri. My grandfather fought in Iwo Jima and then went to Korea. I fought in West Asia between 2007 and 2009. I have been to the dojo which is under the NY buddhist temple. Shut up kid. He is barely an American and he knows that. He literally is unarmed and doesn't care about the USA. HE is a great person though. So is his cousin Eugene who is actually an American.

Awww. The cute little way Coach sweeps Shitaro's feet at the wnd. Like "Come on man, we're still friends"

[@ilyassnejjar6195]

On top of his high level Judo, the guy obviously is really really strong. Look at those waves and whiplash effects on Shintaro every time he pulls him.

[@robbybee70]

that's the great part about when you first start training and have no technique, the entire time you are trying to build technique you wind up building strength until your skill gets to an appreciable level. then you still build strength a bit after that but it's just the point to consider, even when you are messing up everything cus you are new you are improving in some ways

[@ilyassnejjar6195]

@@robbybee70 According to him, this is how he used to dominate Japanese fighters. They're trying to move around, get reaction, use momentum. He would just grab them still like a mountain and be like "You're not going anywhere". If this was done by someone way beneath your skill level you can deal with it, but if the guy has basically same set of skills, you are in trouble.

Nice, best 4 minute ippon seoi video I e ever seen...

[@markwilliams7037]

Excellent explanation. I always learn something important. Like why I have random success. And many missed opportunity. Like when Travis explained. If you don't rotate all the way. And chase the throw around .trying to throw before you shoulder make flat contact .Byron probably told us that 200 time's. But I see how it make sense .

[@codykuehl5961]

You guys are the best

[@moqo]

Don't think I have seen many people bounce so much after a throw. No wonder Shintaro wasn't keen for another lol

[@glowman75]

These are strong throws for sure, but I don't think he would bounce so much if they weren't on tatamis. Not tatamis, spring mats. The club I trained at always called them tatamis.😂

[@tylerdaugherty6496]

I can't express how invaluable this video was for my first BJJ tournament! Working that back to chest is clutch!

Travis is such a dick, ahaha, I love it. You two are like a comedy act. Also I find the idea of using your body for kozushi, instead of pulling with the arms fascinating, gonna try that soon.

His dad lost....he left Japan. It sucks watching all these comments....its like no one knows about Japan and has no respect for it..or even their own nations.

fine

[@matthewoneill5354]

Travis is becoming a parody of himself. He's created this character and now has to live up to it constantly, I still like him though and this partnership is pure Gold! Shintaro, have you considered following Travis and charging people a 'membership' to be part of your you tube 'community'. I would happily pay the small amount it requires. Your content is so valuable and I've got a lot from it. I feel you should be making more money from your you tube video's. That may not sit with your philosophy but it would seem fair.

[@RichiXEats]

Wait so it’s just a character or does Travis actually dislike shintaro haha I follow both but I can’t tell

Hi Travis, you being known for having been a seoi nage player, could you give your thoughts on the deep squat seoi style often used by the Japanese? I don't think you have demonstrated once in your tutorials.

[@yogsothoth-tz2bu]

Check Lex Fridman's podcast, Travis explains why he doesnt like squat seoi and why he favors his version.

[@user-uk9er5vw4c]

"wanna do it again?" with that sassy foot sweep ahahah

Damn I was doing exactly that mistake in BJJ and I´m "the judo guy" haha. I´ll try that standing version, thank´s for sharing.

[@daveh6319]

Geez it's hard to believe that Shintro competed 20kg heavier than Travis.

[@Zetzitsen]

Interesting that Travis Stevens calls the underclasp idiotic since Jimmy Pedro seems to be a strong proponent for it. Would love a more detailed explanation for the their reasoning.

[@scottmac-cheeserae4531]

Travis is like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas...can't take a laugh; doesn't understand a laugh...but Pesci's character was joking too; Travis wasn't.

[@Ryzanify44]

only shorter by an inch sall good

[@christophegautier7634]

Do you think that exention to pick up before the throw would still work if uke was taller than Tori ?

[@rhidiandavies1991]

That's what I was thinking, and probably not

[@montyalb8788]

In my opinion, it still works if the uke is taller. Travis's kozushi as long as it puts the uke on their toes allows the tori to load the uke's body ahead of the uke's feet kind of like a tilted board. If the uke is taller they need to be pulled further past their toes which Travis's kozushi can help with (barring odd body proportions) because the lower height of the tori pulls the uke's shoulders and head further forward (especially if weight class is the same). I think the load is longer and more nuanced, but the taller uke could also be more off balance. After the lift has started, the uke has to get their outer foot around their own toes to escape. Since the uke's knees are also blocked from moving forward the uke needs to flail or go around to get out of the lift. If the uke instead goes to tip-toes the tori should only need to float the uke forward to regain the load or else use the elevated weight and movement of the uke to get more momentum on the throw.

[@robertlapointe9319]

[@oldmanjudo6241]

3:30-3:34 “I don’t have the throw.” You absolutely still have a throw...Seoi Otoshi is right there. The throw has just changed based on your position. Don’t get sucked into just doing one throw, there are other possibilities out there. Nice technique regardless.

[@batgwill]

Read your comment again. Notice how the quote says "the" and what you said says "a" throw? He's speaking specifically about the technique he's teaching and how he looks for it. You've projected the mistake onto Travis, he hasn't actually made it.

[@TheZangetsuBankai1]

@@batgwill couldn’t have said it any better

[@adrianluna9541]

@@batgwill I’m simply pointing out there are other opportunities available. I’ve seen far too many Judoka focus all on one technique and then miss other throws since they are so fixated on the one technique. I’m sure there are some who will view this video, take it as a technique to practice, then will miss other opportunities when it doesn’t work for them. Nobody is blaming anybody.
