When Doug Rogers visited local tournaments around Vancouver, the staff would announce that we have him in attendance, where he would stand on the sidelines to watch. He generally stood alone, and not many younger athletes seemed to know who he was. I respected the man’s privacy, though in retrospect I should have tried to ask him a bit on Kimura. They’ll live on in my head as legends.
That's truly amazing
Dude straight up wins a silver medal and then starts a career as an airline pilot. Absolute legend.
Indeed
Nice to hear that a grand master and legend like Kimura was also human. Showing up in sweat pants and even drunk. 😄
I turned up for a judo practice back in the late eightys when I wore an orange belt after two pints of stella, My instructor was furious .he threw me up and down the mat for what seemed forever..i didnt do it again .
@@therickoshae Two pints of Stella? That's close to nothing? How did he even detect it? 5-6 pints and I would have expected that treatment, or possibly, get out of here and don't come back in two weeks.
That's a story for another day
@@therickoshae we used to get drunk after class and around 3AM the mats would get rolled out and we'd start training again. That was the best summer ever.
@@henrikg1388 He could smell it of course.
Famous karate historian and practitioner Patrick McCarthy in his interview mentioned that this documentary inspired him to start practising judo when he was at school. First he started with judo and then switched to karate. In Canada schools used to show this documentary to children all across the country.
This documentary can motivate anyone
Chadi you are a blessing for youtube and martial arts lore lovers
Thank you 🙏🏻
My dad mentioned the other day due to the Olympics going on and being Canadian that a Canadian named Doug Rogers won silver in '64, I surprised him by knowing his name thanks to his documentary and your videos lol. My dad was 16 in '64 and he remembers Rogers medal as being one of the biggest and only wins for Canada at the 64 Olympics
Rip Doug Rogers trained with the legendary Kimura.
Exactly
I love the NFB film on Doug Rogers. (It's worth watching the entire thing, elsewhere on RUclips.) I met Doug Rogers sometime in the mid-60s, thanks to a judo demonstration in Calgary I was involved in, and in which Rogers was the main attraction. He was a nice guy and left a deep impression on the 6 (or so) year-old kid that I was at the time.
I watch it every now and then for inspiration.
Wow you're a very fortunate man
This movie is pure kino
Great video, as always. Yes, I would like to hear about that story on Kimura arriving drunk for class. RIP, Doug Rogers.
You got it!
I wonder if mr Rogers and mr Kimura is having a beer together in the afterlife talking about their judo journey.
Did not know about this guy! Cool to learn a fellow Canadian had Kimura's respect.
Thank you Chad
In my competitive days he was an idol of mine. I could only dream of being as accomplished as he was on the mat. In my only foray into National Championship competition as an IkKyu in 1972, I only had 2 fights in the Open Weight category. I could make up dozens of excuses but the truth is that at 205 pounds I was just too small and too weak to expect to end up on the podium. The next lightest man in my division was 242 pounds. There were a few players I think I could have defeated but I never got the chance to meet them. My first fight was against Richard Walters who ended up in 2nd Place and my next fight in the double elimination tournament was against Edward Roundtree who ended up in 3rd Place. So at the tender age of 33 I retired from competition and devoted myself to teaching.
Wow that's quite the life, i wish i can achieve half of that
I always rewatch doug Rogers mini doc. The footage used here. When he was in Japan. Motivating.
Same
Great doc watch it sometimes before I roll
Very good shit bro. I can watch these videos for days.
P.S: Thank you for putting all this history together for us rookies 🤙🏼
haha you're welcome
Shidokan. That's my dojo. Sensei Hiroshi Nakamura and Nicolas Gill are two of the big names from there. Wed would also have judoka from all over the world. Jimmy Pedro, Jason Morris, Travis Stevens and even Rhonda Rousey did their time at Shidokan. The UKs Neil Adams married Nikki Jennings who competed for Canada in the 90's and was also from Shidokan.
you're lucky
My coach here in Vancouver knew him and his family. He coached with the university club when his son attended. They said that he was a nice man and that the partner who his son used and got personal attention from doug when focusing on his son was very lucky and that he improved tremendously. Doug was probably in attendance at the tournaments I attended when I was younger, but I couldn't pick him out from the crowd or knew who he really was at that time.
Must be amazing being among legends
Wow, he was a pilot.
Excelente video!!! Siempre aportando conocimientos!!! Buen trabajo. Éxitos!!!!!
Muchas Gracias Mario, always
Just found the documentary just before watching this. 😊
Awesome coincidence
I want to hear drunk Kimura story.
Soon
Good video. One small note: Kimura's university was Takushoku university（拓殖大学）. Takudai （拓大）is an abbreviation of Takushoku University (Takushoku Daigaku -> Takudai).
Thank you for pointing it out
@@Chadi He was head coach there for many years and taught Godo as well as Judo.
Well done 😊👍
Thank you Rashid
Nice video
Chadi, for your research, here's clips of grandmaster Jon Bluming teaching old school kodokan newaza leg locks. Jon Bluming trained in the old school Kodokan days and trained with Mas Oyama in kyokushin (which he's been honest about the myths & tricks that made his friend Mas Oyama famous in interviews)... ruclips.net/video/lzDkSiEKJbQ/видео.html
This was 8 years ago in Bulgaria. Bluming and Semmie Schild after his active career.
Bulgaria is however in a wrestler and weightlifter tradition. Maybe after communism all these fighting and heavy athletics disciplines will find a balance in Bulgaria. Even André the Giant had pure Bulgarian blood. It's a small country compared even with Romania (of course Russia and Turkey), however double as much population than Georgia on the other sides of black sea. Bulgaria is an EU country, however, orientated to the East (Russia rather than the Ukraine).
You know Kosovo? They have little girl judo on the olympic top level.
ruclips.net/video/fQWj_VFR5MM/видео.htmlsi=ZFqg0pdgRW4n7F4g
really big Mr. Miyagi and Daniel LaRusso energy here
soundtrack name?
Jon Bluming used unrespectful words for some dubious colleagues.
What about Lebell in the US? Just a fake?
too much music
These are my regular settings
first
Congratulations 🥇
