This is the truest description of a veteran judoka I’ve ever heard Edit: although for my sensei, who was 80, it was Sasae Tsuri Komi Ashi all. Day. Long.
Your dad taught me this combo over 20 years ago. I've used it ever since and especially Morote O Soto Gari to Uki waza. But I used this exact combo in my first match in 1999 when I won the Gold medal in the World Masters.
I don't understand japanese, and I know very little judo, but that little moment at 1:37 where your dad gets mixed up about what technique you were going to demonstrate and you both have a laugh about it was absolutely beautiful. Two masters having dedicated their life to this martial art just having a lighthearted father and son moment. Truly heartwarming. You both rock.
He said "Not Haraigoshi, we're doing Ukiwaza." lol. Then dad says "You were saying Haraigoshi" At the end, when the dad was getting up, "Are you ok pops?"
I love these videos with your dad. He reminds me of my old Shotokan sensei - kind, serious, sense of humor (with the black belts, NEVER with us little nerds), and an absolute badass. Keep up the good work, Shintaro!
This is great. I do a few sacrifice techniques from time to time (more often now that I'm getting older) and this one is a good one for me. Good principles using ko uchi gari to create that response for this throw.
You and your father sharing a "dojo" moment is so heart warming. I truly miss those moments of martial humor with my Uncle/Grand Master. I lost him and my father a few years ago. I have these moments now with my students but it's not the same. You are blessed to still have your father...hold him close as much as you can (but don't throw him, lol). As always, excellent instruction and execution. From one "student" to another...thank you for sharing. Ooss!
Oh man, this is so cool to see a father and son together like this. Me, my wife and kids all train bjj and my dream is to pass it onto my grandchildren. You are blessed!
Special watching your relationship with your dad and you guys having a laugh. And really interesting learning about different bowing depths in Japanese culture according to position in society and family.
Great video and demo as always!!! This brought up some curiosity for me. Would you be able to make a follow up video that explains a good scenario for using uki waza, yoko wakare, and yoko otoshi? Yoko wakare is my go to sacrifice throw but I would like to incorporate the other 2 as well. Thanks.
I love this technique. I don't compete, but during randori I often have trouble executing other throws cleanly. For some reason, this one comes a bit more naturally, and I find it to be one that really catches people off guard.
I do a version of this with Yoko Wakare. Attack with a backward throw like Osoto Gari and then when they defend and push all their weight forward, drop to the ground and throw them over.
When you drop under him you’re pulling his sleeve down with you, pinning his foot down and breaking his balance forward. If he lifts his foot to step he falls
Todos os que não tem respeito por um mestre de judô não é digno de falar que é um faixa preta ou coral. Pós devemos respeita a sua história de vida vivida dentro das artes marciais. E hoje nos transmite os melhores conteúdo que se pode ter Ter uma aula como está com mestres de grande valor não é para qualquer um portanto vamos ter mas respeito nos comentário quando se tratar de falar de judô. Se não entende fica quieto não julgue o que não sabe procura estudar e verá que as técnicas tem de bom para cada um nunca julgue o que não sabe sobre técnica. Já tive o meu tempo e nunca fui derrotado com o meu judô respeito as outras artes por ser irmãs uma das outras como.os dedos das mãos.unidas para sempre num todo Todo bom lutador tem que aprende a cair para se levantar e todas as artes que transmite as técnica de rolamentos ou quedas tem que ter o seu respeito por quem que que seja. Indiferente do seu grau ou estilo vamos nos respeita. E deixa que Deus cuide de todos nós 0ss.
Always great instruction from you both! When my neighborhood was going through a rough patch back in the late 80s and early 90s, this dojo was the safest place for me. Your father will always have a special place in my heart.
