Miałem okazję osobiście porozmawiać z Kataro ,bardzo ładnie się wysławia 🫡

Really cool! I don't know why youtube algorithm hasn't suggested the channel to me, learned about it from Julien Brulard's video. I just love it when I can find a Japanese judoka in "west" sharing the knowledge and training styles, it's been really helpful. It's funny to see how the pull is the problem for some people, because we relative beginners have consistently one problem: pulling too hard. Like not having the speed and mobility to turn and squat the hip under before the uke smashes onto your back and you end up stuck standing up, uke not losing balance. Learning one thing and then relearning another thing over and over again. Personally I practiced morote seoi nage all summer and I still find this video massively helpful. Just seeing the form, positions and movement from one position to another in balance, the timing. It's a beautiful technique and a really good learning tool for getting familiar with many fundamental things in judo standing techniques, but it's difficult to master. I find in adult beginners or people who had a long break, having the mobility and leg strength to squat down with upright back is the number one restriction I see in literally everyone. People are really, really uncomfortable about squatting while turning, squatting deep, squatting with upright back and having feet not together when squatting. If they get the hips lower, they can't hold the back upright, and if they hold the back upright, they can't squat, and if they try both, they fall over. Which has led me to think that olympic weightlifting style deep high bar back squats at the gym would be the perfect accessory to judo training. At least going towards 1,5x bodyweight for me has brought tremendous confidence in different judo positions and not having to be concerned about legs tiring out when practicing repetitions on the throw. I love the talk about being a good uke too. When you progress with others past the first beginner stage, doing the good uke things come to you naturally and your training partners do it naturally, and then when you practice with actual beginners again, you're completely lost and confused because they don't have the concept of what they need to be doing as uke. And you might've never thought about how important the skill of the uke is. Exactly those things, narrow stance, staggered stance, bent over stance, being too loose or too tense. And when you grab a good uke, you can just feel it right away. They're not a bag of jelly yet they don't resist hard, they move easily when you do the right things. They feel like a person who doesn't want to do what you want them to do automatically, but they don't fight you either. One thing I learned from practicing morote seoi nage etc with partners who were different levels of proficiency was that it's always worse if you're afraid of getting thrown. Even if their technique is a bit off and they use a bit more force than technique, it's always worse to go down if you're afraid. Because you resist and they have to use more force and you end up in a worse position. And your ukemi improves from taking those throws as well. And you do get some adaptations to handle being thrown better if you get thrown as well. But it's terrible to try to throw someone if they are really loose like a bag of jelly and lower their hips and try to get around you and just don't let the throw happen, hang onto your back, you feel sorry for them when you try to still finish the throw. I feel like we should probably have a session practicing being a good uke, like how to walk or stand and hold your body up in my club now that we have had multiple first timers.

Saudações de Brasil mestre kotaro

先生、質問したいので答えていただけますか?

😂😂😂😂

Like your vlog! Could you send me a full video of the seminar with Katanishi sensei, please? 🙏

佐々木先生が戻りました🎉

I support you brother! do your best kotaro! your heart is pure and only great things will come your way. we were sitting by your brother on the second day of tokyo grandslam.

Very surprising to see this warm up !

Kotaro, you are a fantastic guy. I believe you will be able to make your dreams come true. And the ice cream was really tasty 🙂

新たなスタート！！！

今回の投稿から、この動画を知って初めてみましたが感動しました‼️ もっと広めましょう‼️

So Kotaro, my family is waiting for your judo club in Warsaw! Good luck

Hello Kotaro, thank you for sharing this video. I really admire your determination to make it work out in Poland. I hope that you will establish your dojo. Please consider creating some content like Judo Yokohama or Fluid Judo Japan which are IMO the best resources for Judo (sadly judo yokohama has turned their most valueable content private). Wish you all the best luck and hope that I can meet you on the tatami for a seminar, on e i get my acl fixed.

Welcome back my friend, Life is full of obstacles, and you choosed the hard way by living abroad so it's even more complicated. Keep the spirit high and you'll strive. If i can do anything to help let me know. I hope you can meet your family very soon, i think it is so important. We will meet again someday kotaro !

Good luck : )

お久しぶりなんです

Hey! Thank you for creating this video. I will use it in judo warm ups.

Good stuff

Bardzo dobrze mówisz po Polsku

Tanaka Ryoma used this recently in Hungary Masters 2023. I knew I saw this somewhere :D

Do any Judo and Jiujitsu schools still teach the stahara/shita hara calisthenic mentioned in Allan Corstorphin Smiths book?

Can you make a video on randori tips?

Thank you Kotaro for sharing so awesome 👍

A question not related to the video, but what are the black belt requirements in Japan? Here i need to do Kata, then throws and after i need to do ne waza to get my black belt

Kocham pana, pan trenuje w mojej szkole

Dzieciaki mają szczęście, że ich trener dba bardzo o detale w wykonywaniu techniki. Podobają mi się również sposób wykonywania kombinacji. pozdrawiam

Nice sensei I lern a lot thank you.

Always instructive to watch :) keep going

Very nice! Thank you!

Thank you ! Do all these Polish kids understand English?

Więcej MMA w judo :) zabrakło tylko lekkiego sparingu...

Hey Kotaro-san! 動画ありがとう! やっぱ英語の動画くらべて、日本のほうがいいですね　(笑）。I want to know why your knees are so black! Is it poor lighting, or are those bruised? 　特に左膝！(2:33)

Excelkent.

No nieźle, jak jeszcze trenowałem w Judo Legia, to Wąsik ważył pewnie z 60 kg i miał zielony pas. Dzisiaj to kawał konia, ale Szanowny Trener dał sobie radę ;)

What a great teacher

What a great way to teach children about trust! Well done 🙏

Love this! Thank you!!!

but i have trust issues🙊
