Based on Hal Sharp's Classic Judo films from the 1950's. Complete footage of legendary sensei's are shown here, including commentary and slow motion. Enjoy!
Hi, I practice something quite different (Pa-Kua or Bagua as you prefer) but I recognize the art in what I see. Considering the garbage present in the network it is a little miracle that I came across this gem. This video is pure gold and only at the first view it gave me valuable hints about my next steps. Thank you very much for sharing it!
Please put up as much content as you can for public record. The amount of judo knowledge lost to people's attics pre internet is astonishing. The context this content brings is priceless for the serious judoka.
Luckily the Kodokan preserves many of the old techniques in their Judo cannon. A large percentage of judo throws and locks are not used in modern day sport judo because of possible injury or simply having fallen out of favor. When I was a boy at the Kodokan decades ago I always wanted to see the famous judo Kata in Armor but I never saw it. Nowadays when I watch sport judo I get very stressed when the Japanese do not win and they no longer dominate judo like they used to. So it goes.
@Kenjutsu Tengu the problem is that it wasn't flashy, and I was told it was a sport, so I figured it had to real place as self-defense. Very few people can defend themselves against a good throw to the pavement.
@@ChrisPyle It depends on the system and Sensei. There are still a small # here in NYC that will teach you like this if you show you got it in you and they know you will teach, bad thing is most of them are around 80 like my Sensei.
bigbluedog360 Very true. Do they still call it Judo? I recognize a lot of the ground submissions from the Jiu Jitsu I’ve learned but it looks like the roots are in fact Judo after watching this.
@@ChrisPyle Yes, there are alot of techniques i'm taught in private that i'm told not to show the rest of the class. The ruling bodies have ruined Judo for the sake of sport.
bigbluedog360 That’s too bad because jiu Jitsu is sorely lacking this sort of dominance from standing and modern judo is but a fraction of the ground submissions shown here. If the two were left together and whole it would be a much more effective fighting system in my humble opinion
Please add a menu with time stamps for the techniques in the description box. 1hr 14mins is pretty crazy for studying whilst having no notes in the description.
