Great analysis. I personally feel like judo is a game of contraction and expansion. The Japanese twitch/fake achieves the effect of baiting uke to contract/defend for a moment and then when he realizes it was a fake, he expands/re-engages. At that moment tori enters for the real uchimata and uke goes over with ease :)
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing this amazing content! Not sure if it’s worth sharing. I trained Judo in Japan for over 15years and left a 2nd degree Black belt. One of the first things that was literally drilled into us was “Kazushi” and the subtle “twitch” that you mention about. It was just as important as learning how to properly fall/land and yelled at every training. It completely changes everything
Modern Judo has semplified Kuzushi, I remember Barioli an Italian sensei, direct student of Kenshiro Abbe saying that originally was Roppo-No-Kuzushi so 6 direction two of them (lateral) are irrelevant. Every time you break opponent position is Kuzushi, you don’t need to pick Uke on the toes for example. He was very critic about modern judo because of the losing of Kano’s teachings. Thanks Chadi to always analyzing also old judo and the principles, do not let the Tradition get lost. 🙏
Hello Chadi, man I’ve been trying to figure out what their “stomp” is every time I watch, I keep trying to incorporate it but I thought it was them taking an extra ninja step and couldn’t get it 😂 Thanks for the video this opens up a whole new world now that I realise it’s a feint
@@Chadi there’s one I really like from Kosei, he does it a bit but I think it was his one of his Olympic matches where he does an o uchi fake, into his uchi mata, sooooo clean
True kuzushi should use non-resistance, using the opponents energy to break posture. The modern kuzushi using shoulder strength to push and lift opponent onto their toes or jerk the opponent off balance isn't true kuzushi because it's strength based. This is why we see PEDS in Judo comps.
The general principle of Judo is that kuzushi is always present. When you move there is always the possibility of being unbelanced. A expert Judoka uses your movements or his movements to create the kuzushi. He can use footwork or his Hands or your reaction. He can use combinations or counter techniques. There are many ways to create kuzushi.
@@ChadiFalse step? Like a faint? Drop step and back step is common terms in wrestling. It´s hard to articulate in writing. I´ve looked for explanations but it´s hard to find. Like your channel because of that. Your trying to find something.

I don't doubt that new or improved techniques appeared in the last couple of decades. But isn't this also a consequence of the modification of the rules? like shorter fights, passivity penalties, less transition to ne-waza. And sure in a self-defense perspective greater speed or more explosive throws seem logical, but also in a self-defense perspective a lot of messy tori falls (as you can see in competitions) seem little applicable/realistic with a fight situation. IRL it's not really a win if to "score" an ippon-like throw you fall headfirst on the concrete right? just thinking out loud. Does that make sense?
What you ´re saying is undoubtedly false.Using action reaction to create kuzushi is the core of Judo.It`s called Hando no kuzushi.Using heavyweight to claim that they didnt´t have the twitsch is ....It´s like in boxing.If you want to see the true technician you watch the lightweights not the heavyweights. Watch people like Yoshimi Osawa from that time.Or Kisaburo Watanabe or Saburo matsushita,or Kazuo Shinohara.Or even Kimura.Kimura used a setup in which he switched between Osotogari or Ippon Seoinage depending on his opponent reaction.Even the Ouchigari twitch to Uchimata is a technique that was made popular by takeshi Koga in the 50 to 60s.
I think you might have missed the point, no one said they didn't have the principles back then (started the video by showing Mifune's demo) , I'm simply pointing out how refined they're becoming with so many options (twitch, stomp, false step etc) that of Inoue is invisible to the naked eye, not many can pull that off even today.
@@Chadi how can you say that if you havent seen the Judo of them?if you want to see refined Judo. Watch judo seminar videos of Hiromi Tomita and ashida sensei. Look Ashida judo in RUclips. If you see his approach you will take back what you said in this Video.That way of Judo was always the way the Japanese did Judo.
Kuzushi is just the art of feeling rather than seeing the judo that’s happening

This is the most informative judo channel on RUclips by far.
Great to see how the sport of Judo continues to evolve - Thanks Chadi!

This is really neat, the uchi mata is a fun technique, thank you for sharing 😊.
My pleasure
Yes, it is a feint that is basically impossible to read as well, because it is just the slightest full body movement
Chadi never seizes to amaze me . Incredible skill and will, to teach and educate the public on Judo! Viva la Judo!!!
Excellent breakdown chadi. 👌 all about the getting a reaction, also alot going on like the pulling or pushing in tandem with the steps
In bjj you find your flow and in judo you find kuzushi.
🤙🏻
@@Chadi glad you agree.
Great insights...
Excellent work 👍

Peds in judo comps? You mean pedos in judo camps?
Many countries use strength
What if opponent has no energy?
I noticed this looking at mifune's uke otoshi or the counterpart. I seem him twitch a lot.
Exactly, it's still evolving, with endless options
@@Chadi agreed. Nice to see someone break it down like this.
Is there any general principles when generating kuzushi?? If there can u please explain them in future
Sure
The general principle of Judo is that kuzushi is always present. When you move there is always the possibility of being unbelanced. A expert Judoka uses your movements or his movements to create the kuzushi. He can use footwork or his Hands or your reaction. He can use combinations or counter techniques.

Kuzushi is pretty deep. It goes into state of mind and psycological on top of the balance factor.
Wow !
🤙🏻
so, it's like a feint in boxing?
My balls are hurting from all those hopping uchi matad
I don't know why I posted it here but how come some teachers teach kuzushi for osoto sleeve hand out and then down and some people go directly down?
It depends on the situation, in randori is different than nagekomi
@@Chadi true was just wondering because I was playing around with both ways...
Biomechanical deception 🤯…mind body connection much!
Koshi o Hineru
Drop step, back step?
The false step??
@@ChadiFalse step? Like a faint? Drop step and back step is common terms in wrestling. It´s hard to articulate in writing. I´ve looked for explanations but it´s hard to find. Like your channel because of that. Your trying to find something.
