They are members of the Kodokan; they pay a monthly fee and train at a time convenient to themselves. It's normally people who train before going to work or to school. Not national athletes at all. (They are in the Main Dojo, on the 7th floor)
I can see at least 2 national champions there from ryotokuji. Kawabata and Ishikawa. Sato was also one of the top -100kg players in japan. These guys are world class.
Gracies said they have 600 plus techiques but they (Gracies) also said only 26 will really useful in streetfighting and all of those 26 exist in Judo or the Parent name jiujitsu. If purpose is self-defense judo is enough.
their ground techniques and theory are different from bjj due to comp rules and different influences , they are also going pretty light on each other avoiding common bjj positions for the finish .
both kano jiu jitsu and gracie jiu jitsu have have stand up wrestling and ground wrestling techniques , the japanese style obviousley favors throws more and the brazillian style favors the ground , not that hard to figure out guys
Who're the guys training? I mean what level and season of training is this? Are they office people who practice Judo in their free time, new learners, club members(I'm not sure of how the dynamic for this is in Japan), or Nation Athletes? Are they preparing for a tournament soon or have they just come from one? Thanks :)
Hello. I would like to know, do you travel over the countrys? If yes I would be more than happy if you come in Cyprus. We have a big place to train Judo in Larnaca, Kiti. Please message me if you want to know more for where our training dojo is.
Dear buddy. Don't demonstrate your lack of intelligence by being so presumptuous. I am a blue belt- 2 stripe under Carslon Gracie Jr. lineage and have been fighting MMA since 2003 and went pro went pro last October! No, definitely not a UFC champ :P, but one doesn't need to be one to analyze the work out in this video. AND, like i said, their take downs must be viscous!
