belated but amazing Travis

[@SasakiKojiro7]

Thanks again for the video Travis! I just want to say these videos are absolutely amazing. I really like the fact that your analysis provides both technical and strategic insights.

[@non-stopnewaza9266]

I like that you provide a competitor's perspective to this analysis. Also, interesting to hear what you had to say about why this is less successful at higher weights. I've noticed that players at 48 and 52 kilos like Ai have had much more success with this specific technique than Yoshida and Tashiro who compete at 57 and 63.

I've seen even at the Olympics that a lot of french, especially women, lost to japanese on the ground. If i were the french coach i would employ the help of a very good brazilian jiu-jitsu coach like Demian Maia, Andre Galvao,Rodolfo Vieira...., to at least even the japanese on the ground. I saw a randori between Flavio Canto and japanese players in Japan, and he totally technically dominated them. Their ground game is good but very limited in comparison. I really can't understand how the french accept to be totally dominated on the ground and do nothing about it.

[@non-stopnewaza9266]

I agree. I think it is partly to do with the overall training philosophies of the 2 teams. The French grip fight very aggressively and are extremely dangerous early in matches, but tend to tire over the course of the match and be in need of a breather. The Japanese players don't see Judo as a sprint and have plenty of energy to put into newaza situations just when their opponents are looking to catch their breath. An exception is Clarisse who seems much more comfortable than the other French elite when outgripped and doesn't fade in the golden score period and has submitted and pinned elite Japanese players.

why are the French not thriving in the ground game yet. it seems they always lose there.
