Does anyone know what is the name of the original Japanese instrumental or song that was connected with this video? I mean the song before they changed it to this current song.
I wonder how a modern good level recreational Judo player would do at these old school clubs back in the day. Would they wipe the floor with the old school style using some of the new fancy techniques that would be totally alien to the old judo? In most sports it's agreed that modern athletes would destroy the older athletes if they went back in time. And you can tell that from race times etc
"I truly hope that 'Japanese Judo' stays true to its origin forever." Well. The Japanese one, sure. But Judo as an olympic sport changed a lot since. You can do more judo in wrestling now than judo in judo. That's why I like to practice it as a martial artist rather as an athete. Thank you for bringing this documentary to us.
