Shintaro, it's litterally impossible for me to express how deep is my gratitude. This one is by far one of the most important videos about Judo techniques. Seeing your father performing them is a pure joy. It's an immense gift that will be very well understood by Judokas. I can't believe this now is for all. I'm so grateful. God bless.
It would be great to see a podcast episode with your dad so your audience can learn more about the history, philosophy, and experiences in his training.
Oh man, the lighting, the camera colors, and your dad's mustache are just a whole vibe.... Is this foreshadowing more Higashi Sr 'red belt judo' videos?!?
Yo this is rad. The main instructor at my school is Shintaros Dads age and he was on the Korean National team back in the day. Gotta love the old dudes.
@@KingOfSwords720using a particular name has nothing to do with skill progression. I could call it the flying shrimp and if I drill it 24/7 and you drilled it once calling it its "proper Japanese name" then guess who knows it better?
look out for Kensui-jime, which is the name of the drop choke like that. It's used with juji-jime (cross-choke) and with morote-jime (sometimes also called ryo-te-jime...) ;) Judo chokes often tends to be part of several families : one for the placement of the hands and one for the global move around it. It's sometimes usefull to be able to navigate through that to easily apply recurring patterns :)
@@phyrisl2 you are right sir, it has nothing to do skill progression. But it does have everything to do with being able to teach it. You won't get certified as Kodokan instructor if you can't understand the technique they're asking you to demo to certify. So what it's called in the UK, france, even other Asia counties?
Really amazing submission skills, most of whom I've never seen before. They are not in the regular curriculum. I assume they work. Nice to see a picture of the heydays of judo. It's like you really want to revisit and test them in the next randori session. Ude-hishigi-te-gatame was a favorite back then, though. Don't know if it would fly today. Rules have changed to disallow standing submissions. All the same, a great set of techniques that could potentially prove useful, if not in judo, then perhaps BJJ, although they are very judoesque in nature. You don't slowly progress to get in position, but rather attack explosively. Thanks for the upload.
Lots of these moves are in old books showing Judo self defense techniques. The others are in old movies of old Judo masters demonstrating Kosen Judo techniques. Masahiko Kimura made really good VHS instructional videos on these techniques when he was an old man. I watched Kimura's videos, and some things clicked for me. He's got all kinds of techniques you'd think were invented by the Brazilians; like a whole series on omoplata variations. The thing is, exactly as you say, the way the moves are done is different. Less slow and methodical, more explosive. One of the moves I was taught as a white belt is in Kimura's instructional videos. I've never pulled it off on anyone in BJJ's 'randori'. I wondered why we were even taught it. When I saw the videos, it made sense. No one in BJJ gives you the right energy to do the move, but in Judo/Kosen Judo, your opponent would. The guy who promoted me to blue belt got his blue belt from Helio Gracie, who fought Kimura. So for them that was relevant. Even though now, the move is basically gone from the BJJ curriculum.
Seeing the same space in a different era is really awesome. Also, I am going to try these in bjj. just a different twist that I havent really seen used that much lately
Wow. I am very lucky to have found this video. All elegant techniques and perfectly executed. Sensei also breaks every technique down well into simple movements and teaches effectively. Although they look simple, it'll take a lifetime to learn all of them.
Love these collar chokes. I know how that guy feels, when sensai uses you for all the demonstrations all class and you end up getting almost choked out like 100 times.
I think they said 1963 in one of the videos they did three years ago, highly recommend those videos with his father. Search for the videos with Nobuyoshi Higashi.
Nice, I hate having to learn the janky english names for bjj moves I learn, would prefer to learn the original japanese names. nice to know that this class of choke, including what we call the baseball bat choke and the crucifix choke, are grouped as "jime"
That was great to watch. Have seen a lot of them before, but can't wait to try the stomach armbar out. That just looks nasty. Thank you very much for sharing this
Damn. These submissions are so sick. I'm definitely integrating that Ude Hishigiwaki Gatame into my game. That's so useful of a trap for back takes and north south from turtle.
All I ask chadi is to make a kind of curriculum with all those cools techniques he learned throughout the years, old ones, other from different martial arts, all the ones that rules don't allow… that would be gold It makes me sad to watch the videos, feel overwhelmed and not having a clear direction of what to learn. All I know is that traditional techniques we learn in our gyms aren't enough and chadi makes this clearer everyday with his videos.
Train at an "old school" BJJ Academy (not so easy to find now days), you will get a lot more incites into original judo along with a real commitment to maximum efficiency in movement and techniques for real life use. Also, the original self-defence techniques in the mostly standing position- that we see Helio and others teach- were taken from the old Judo self-defence kata that were meant to be the repository of all that knowledge Kano learned from all those jiu-jitsu masters he trained with, or inherited their "secret" scrolls or invited to teach at the kodokan. All that was tossed out and first neglected then shamefully forgotten... all so Judo people could obsess about touching peoples backs on the mats and talk about trivialities like "wacko" or "wisaris" or other sport nonsense. The sportification of judo was like a self-defence version of the fall of the Roman Empire ...lol.
Great video, nice to see this footage of your dad. Question though in the credits. Dai-senpai Joseph Echvarria 3rd degree black belt & chu-senpai Robert Kafarski 3rd Dan What's the difference between Dai-Senpai and Chu-senpai? Also what's the signifiance of 3rd degree black belt vs 3rd dan? I'm guessing that it's a seniority thing, with Dai-senpai being of higher rank? Then the 3rd degree and 3rd dan being the same thing? Hoping someone could clear this up for me. Thanks!
Kata-juji-jime is cross collar choke Hadaka-jime is rear naked choke Okuri-eri-jime is double lapel choke Kataha-jime is karate chop choke Sode-guruma-jime is ezekial choke Jigoku-jime ~ rolling crucifix choke
