Chadi, I'm huge fan of your work on RUclips and looking forward to read the book. Have you thought about a Kindle version of the book?? More accessible to other regions of the world...
I want to thank you for your commitment to exposing the truth about Judo. I spent a total of 5 years in Japan and practiced Judo while there. In northern Japan, Judoka were looked upon with high regard. The Japanese said Judo meant, The Gentleman's Way. They were expected to act accordingly outside of the Dojo. By studying Judo O learned a lot about Japanese Culture that most people would never see. I'll definitely be buying your book.
Old style foot sweeps were done on tatami mats. Uke would be positioned so the sweep was done in the direction of the tatami's weave. Going against the weave resulted in more friction on the foot, often resulting in a poor sweep. Weft and Weave!
Thank you very much. Excellent and comprehensive explanation of the most important elements of a foot sweep. Never heard this before. Foot sweeps are my very favorite.
Congratulations! You put so much passion in judo . Amazing!!! Published a book so well done ! And learning Japanese all for the love of judo . Congratulations
I have to disagree. Competition has helped revel what is most "practical", if you are using "practical" to mean efficient and highest percentage of success.
@@vids595To some extent you aren’t wrong, but with competitive “sporty combat” (especially through different sources) you develop a lot of different rules for competition and that almost always leads to the system being watered down in training. The training aspect is the most important aspect of competitive ‘fighting’. At least from a Martial Art perspective.
@@miya6008 In the vast vast majority of cases (with the footsweep technique described in this video being a possible exception), the competition technique is much more viable for anything related to real life (sparring, fighting, competition) than the traditional textbook technique. Osoto gari is probably the most blatant example of this. No one ever does osoto gari the textbook way (stepping parallel to their feet) in sparring, and anyone foolish enough to try it that way tends to get countered hard. By the way, the disconnect between drilling and sparring is, IMO, the biggest reason so many people think Judo is "hard" and has a high learning curve.
In the early days of the Kodokan, Osoto-gari was also done in a different way than it is today. With the current method of Osoto-gari, the bigger player has advantage. This is a question that all judo practitioners have wondered about, but no one has been able to provide an answer. Because it has changed from the original. ruclips.net/video/uCpK4gPsY5c/видео.html
Wow Chadi this is amazing. I immediately bought a copy. I'm a big fan of your work. I will also share with my father who will be delighted to read the Japanese Language Chapter as well. Perhaps he will seek the original work in Japanese. I really appreciate any work on Meiji Era Japan including martial arts or history so, I can't thank you enough for putting this work together.
Also... This is one of your clearest videos and super helpful. I love to hear the meaning of the Japanese. I actually didn't know that Tsurikomi refers to the hand action, not the foot action. Actually, I thought that this referred to a "lure" such as "fishing" presumably due to having them step forward. That's why i thought it's called "Sasae Tsurikomi Ashi" Support and lure foot technique. It's very interesting to hear your translation!
Thank you for your work and analysis. As a judo lover, it is very interesting for me to watch your work on the study of judo. Judo unites all its lovers. 🇷🇺👍💪
Chadi what do you think about the team matches between france in Japan the referee and teddy being selected. Also could you do videos reacting to do winners. Ps love your channel
I find alot of your takes on modern bjj really off, or old and tired. But man, I absolutely love your judo content. Bought your book! Hope it sells well! Congrats
Hello Chadi! I really like your videos, and this one is not an exception. How you explore different topics and try to discover the ancient hidden treasures that lie within those beatiful martial arts. Finally! Someone to understand that a milimeter off (sweeping both/one leg) does NOT differentiate a technique! There is so much more to unravel though - and seemingly everyone around is so obsessed with sport and rules and the Olymipcs to not give a bark about the principles. I have much much more to say but I always have to stop myself, else I will just not run out of words. Also, did you know that the "okuri" ("sending") in okuri-asi-barai is very probably a horrible translation (and not just some super-deep hidden meaning)? As I have read in an aikido book, "okuri" is a name for a specific type of stepping in martial arts - from frontal stance (squared) you: 1) move your foot closer to the other and place it (narrowing the stance) 2) move the other foot (widening your stance again) With this in mind - okuri-asi-barai would really make sense - you really are sweeping the (uke's) leg that is coming closer to the other (uke's) leg - which may be lazily described as "sweeping both legs". This comment is long enough, so - there are so many more lost things to rediscover. And more are being lost with every new sunrise - for example - everybody now calls "drop kata-guruma" the "standard" and the standing one the "traditional" or "kata-form". If you are interested, I can provide a lot more insight (on anything regarding judo, not just this technique).
@@Chadi Would an ebook be fair to you? I've heard whispers before that amazon takes too large a cut and doesn't give the author many of the proceeds of each sale
DECONSTRUCT ALL MODERN AND SPORTS JUDO Chadi, I watched your presentation on why you disagree with Judo in the Olympics. I would go further that Judo should be removed from all "For Profits Contests with money, medals and trophies involved". I advocate further that classical Judo should be revived and that includes all classical wazas, training and traditions of a Japanese Dojo. This has to be done by highly committed Sensei who are moral and ethical, who put safety and welfare of students and tradition above all other things like glory, notoriety and profits. In fact, I am in favor of not-for-profit dojos taught by Senseis who are "certified as Traditional Judokas". This is a dream that may never be realized, but this is the vision that I have.

@@CabralNick yes I too would love for a kindle version.
Can I translate it in Chinese?
That's a really helpful analysis of sweeping techniques. I've always struggled with them and now I see more clearly why. Thank you very much

I really respect your commitment to your translation career. Also I love the idea behind hikikomi ashi barai. It creates more opportunities.
Thank you
congrats on the new book!

昔の柔道の技は、足が地に着く・地から浮くタイミングに合わせて技を掛けたものです。
畳の織目に足を取られるのは、踏ん張った身体の使い方であり、競技としてのJUDOの身体の使い方ですね。
柔道の起源の柔術の時代では、板の間や地面に藁を厚く編んだ筵の上で稽古をしてました。

Maybe (probably) Im missing something but this seems more like a difference between gi vs nogi rather than old vs new.
waiting for the french translation, can't wait to read it !!!

where can i get the book?
Chadi did you watch the Olympics what's your thoughts overall
until now same way of teaching, different techniques as okuri ashi barai and de ashi barai.
Do you know anybody who teachies the old way in London?
Can I buy your book as an ebook?
I’ll come out with the ebook version soon
