Old School Judo Techniques from Higashi Sr's 1995 Video 

Shintaro could beat up your dad.

shintaro could beat up me lmao @@HotVoodooWitch

@@HotVoodooWitch Even when he was a kid in school

Only if I was wearing the stupid jacket

He could probably beat your dad by throwing another dad at them

It's awesome

But the pants are the same.

Same!! Usually with some kind of Synthy intro 😄

It certainly is

Hey Shintaro we had a practice in my first dojo which resulted in me fighting sensei a lot. I got "choked out" a lot. That probably explains "a lot".

Chokes are king, oh wait we said in Jui jitsu class, lol. I did both and loved it.

No more chokes in judo??

Lol where do you think the usurping Brazilians got them from? Judo is Japanese JuJutsu, BJJ = basically just Judo

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.

It's called juji (+) shime. And yes they call it a baseball choke. If you study the real names, you will progress in BJJ much faster.

​@@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?

BJJ is derived from Judo yes.

Same art, different competition rules.

Kosen Judo is very close to BJJ. Modern Kodokan Judo is a close relative but is too structured to have as much overlap with BJJ.

@@Silence-and-Violence one of the biggest innovations of judo was randori.

? Nobody pretends it is unrelated though. It's derived from judo, that's just a fact. Nothing wrong or inferior about that.

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.

Lucky you, enjoy your studying with him

Joe and Robert. 😢

Placido's ancestor

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.

I love senseiHigashi . And I also love Joe. He was a good guy. I miss them both.

Is Joe and Rob still training? @@rodrigogonzalez3464
