Focused and healthy Takeshi Sasaki is nearly unstoppable 

I agree great balance then counter throw

In a different --- and perhaps more scientific --- way of describing his skills (both offensively and defensively): he knows how to serve gravity. He knows that very fine tilting point. That means even against a bigger, taller, and stronger opponent who's also an elite Judo practitioner, he's able to combine HIS MASS to that bigger, taller, stronger opponent's mass and manipulate the "fall" in such a way, he's able to twist the two falling masses to his advantage, DURING the actual fall. You could clearly see, some of the much bigger, taller, and stronger Caucasian elite opponents he had to deal with, it's always adding his mass to the opponent's mass, and making both fall... but fall in a way HE could use minute twists to adjust the falls, so by the time the two tangled bodies land, he's usually on top. Against an equally elite opponent who could do everything you could but he's bigger, taller, & stronger, it's ONLY SURPRISED --- counter-intuitive ---- FALLING that you could get the better of him.... because while both are standing, it is not possible to use either pure technique (he's as good in technicality as you) or mass or strength (he's also bigger, taller, and stronger than you) to make him butch in a way you want, because he TOO anticipates every maneuvers you're going to do as well as having offensive maneuvers of his own that he's also constantly try against you, as the clinching continues.... But, again, if you FALL first, say, and "bring him along," for a nanosecond, he would not be expecting that. By the time he realizes what you're up to, the two bodies are already on the mat, with him under you. Again, brilliant gravity awareness (to be strictly scientific: it's gravity with air resistance: these things don't work on the Moon... because the gravity there is extremely small).

100% right

頼もしいですね😀 掛けられたのに返して掛けてたり 凄い！

Ele parece um pouco o Diogo Reis

Thanks!

Он так прогибом кидает, как будто из грекоримской перешел в дзюдо

He received a knee injury after his match with Nagase during the 2022 Tokyo Grand Slam and has been on a slow recovery since, but he competes domestically occasionally, and has done well. He's still cross-training. He recently got his purple belt in BJJ from Carpe Diem (I think the Jiyugaoka location).

それ言ったら大野もやろ

それ顔だけや

佐々木選手2回会ったことあるけどめちゃくちゃにいい人だったよ。そう言う外見的要素での批判はやめた方がいいんじゃない？
