Yeah,open weight contests are driven by the idea of that you don't choose opponents,opponents choose you.And its probably an optical illusion,Yamashita was shorter than the other guy so it seemed like he weighed a lot more.I just love how Yamashita tripped the guy into newaza and the throw at 0:51 going into newaza.Betcha both of those setups would have been an ippon in today's olympics...

I will try some of these newaza techniques in my bjj class.

Thanks for putting these up! I really enjoyed them.

Youtube is my new sensei !! \o/

you can also apply 3 very simple arm bars from kesa even if your not lock in good.

Amazing video, thanks a lot

If judo alredy gives all the tools for ground fighting, why would I need to train Bjj? If all I need is train more Newaza. Judo also defends better against takedowns and, in my opinion is better even for self defense, because, if i can perform a good throw on an agressor, I woudn't even need to fight in the ground, once the impact against a hard ground may be enough to knock it out.

Thank you

It seems like in the first 40 secs the guy who won was only winning because he was much heavier than his opponent.

careful using the scarf hold. there's a killer armbar waiting for you unless you do it perfect

what is the difference between katame waza and newaza
