Nobody explained kuzushi to me the way you did here, although I dug very deep everywehere. It is simply extraordinary how much I actually progressed in these 7min 37 secs. Thank you so much mr Higashi.
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
oh gosh this was so long time ago but i'm pretty sure as long as you have access to the email you registered your account with you should be able to get a forgot password option and be able to change your password@@santinozakai7011
Excellent video! This is such a universal principle that I believe every martial art would benefit by understanding the concept of kuzushi. Take striking (atemi waza) for example. you throw a punch, or a kick, you are off balance for a split second until you regain base . The more power you put behind the strike, the more momentum you have and that momentum can be redirected.
Every martial artist has that moment in training or demonstration, where they can’t resist to “sound effect” their own move😂😂😂 “Ay, Ha, odogen” and that’s how you know how much he love his art and he is having some beast moment fun👏👏👏
Kuzushi and grip play is like the boxers jab. In this phase of the match the players will try to find an opening for their big KO attacks. In boxing the big crosses and overhands and in Judo the turning throws
And height. Although I see he's working on stopping her from growing any taller by stepping over and across her after throwing her. There's a childhood folk superstition that stepping over someone while they are lying on the ground stunts their growth.
Nice! Good stuff shown here. You actually demonstrated a concept used in the Chinese martial arts I’ve learned: if the foot moves, the hand moves. Techniques don’t usually work if only one or the other is moving, have them both connected and doing something to the opponent to gain the advantage 😎
Dude. You know what your doing wow Impressive. You speak well too and articulate lessons I've been MArtial Artist over 30 years 17-9.. I still learning Thank you ( bow) Have a nice day..
Yeah at 5:03, how many times uke resists this in training and makes it so difficult to perform. This is such a great learning video. Best I've seen/heard.
Do you find the principles of Kuzushi are applicable in wrestling? Also, do you think there are many areas in freestyle wrestling where judo-specific techniques can be implemented, or many areas in Judo where wrestling-specific techniques could potentially be used? Sorry for the long question, loving all the content you’re putting out.
Kuzushi principles work for nearly all take downs. How they will apply for wrestling will be a little different because of the rules and clothing. However, the idea of using your hands, posture, and movement together to create a momentary loss of balance for your opponent still apply. As far as Judo-esque techniques for wrestling, there are some that will work, but their legality and level of modification are highly dependent on the rules you're working under.
My wrestling coach taught us judo without ever telling us it was judo. The uchi mata from overhook/underhook was my favourite set up. (not sure judo names rn) but a lot of techniques are transferable like arm throws, inside outside leg trips, leg sweeps, and many others. I just substitute the grips on the Gi with body control with bidy/wrist control or even from tie up's. The fundamentals of the techniques stay relatively the same.
@@THIS---GUY is absolutely right. My two favourite takedowns in wrestling situations are an underhook uchi mata to an ankle pick (the uchi mata is the kuzushi here) and a double leg attempt from an over under situation into an arm throw (here the dbl leg is the kuzushi). I mean, the whole kumi-kata(1) -> kuzushi (2)-> tsukuri (3)-> kake(4) sequence applies to any grappling sport in my opinion 1. you gotta get to the grips you want 2. you then get them off their stable configuration 3. you move into your throwing/tripping/executing position 4. you execute the technique
What are your thoughts on the cross grip (right hand to right collar). I know it’s illegal, but how useful would it be to learn outside a competition judo context?
It's not illegal. It's illegal to take the grip, keep holding the grip, use it defensively and not throw. You can take the grip and throw all day. Perfectly legal.
@@TaiKaoSowa The trick is you have to attack immediately with any non-standard grip. As long as you are disrupting the person's balance and trying to throw, you can keep that grip. (Excluding grips below the belt, of course) It really falls right in with the no stalling rules of Judo anyway, if you are using a grip to stall, they penalize you. If you're not using the grip to stall, but using it to create action and attacks, it's fine.
I think it can be very effective for seoi nage/taio for people with internal elbow issues like myself. it can pair well with sode to the left as well. I like it!!
I am 15 with blue but belds doesn't matter in judo.I train alone every day and go 5 time a week in judo classes and now I go for national champion of my country.My point is ever if you are a low belt train like hell until you get better.Train with bands run every day and practise technices in your home .That is when you are going to get better
@@tk21them I know belt doesn't matter but I don't like being underestimated / not taken serious because of my belt. I also want to compete on a national level. I'm training 3-4 times a week and giving it my all. Thanks for the advice, I hope our work will be worth it my fellow judoka
Could you do a no gi kuzushi often find my self slipping off if I commit to not properly timed judo throw like uchi mata/harai/otoshi often end up in turtle after slipping off but I believe my problem is kuzushi not technique. If you could address this itd be a great watch. I think one way to truly understand no gi kuzushi is to understand how to convert gi grips to no gi
I don’t get to do these great throws with my bjj partners, sucks. They know my judo background and pull guard the first chance they get, it’s annoying. Any tips?
You would not be able to put a guy even the same size you on his tippy toes but just lifting your hands and using your delts. In competion or randori, nobody does this to off balance the opponent not even inoue. That's not how kuzushi works.
Why would you want to throw a woman around? It should be the other way around. You should either find a man to throw or let her do the throw.....poor poor girl being thrown around makes you look like a wife beater. I had nothing to say so I said the "BS" above, great good lesson you gave tho.
Nobody explained kuzushi to me the way you did here, although I dug very deep everywehere. It is simply extraordinary how much I actually progressed in these 7min 37 secs. Thank you so much mr Higashi.
7:04 “Hands Hands before feet “
Yes very very important
Thank you sensei
I am waiting for Lara to surprise throw shintaro. 🤸
We need to see Lara throw him!!

Best judo teacher on youtube hands down ... Stevens does not even come close
Thanks maaan!
Just thank you for shedding light 🕯️ on such a complex and fascinating topic
Very informative. I've already shared this with members of my judo club.
Awesome, thank you!
BEST KUZUSHI class in my life. Thank you Master Shintaro Higashi for sharing your knowledge with the world. Oss
0:40 “Aaaall this mass and weight” can’t imagine she was happy about that comment 😂
lmao someone is sleeping on the tatami tonight
😂😂😂
And height. Although I see he's working on stopping her from growing any taller by stepping over and across her after throwing her. There's a childhood folk superstition that stepping over someone while they are lying on the ground stunts their growth.

I stepped over a sleeping russian wrestler friend on the bleachers when we were at a wrestling tournament. He was very upset.

amazing video on kuzushi. finally got it
Dude. You know what your doing wow
Impressive. You speak well too and articulate lessons I've been MArtial Artist over 30 years 17-9..
I still learning
Thank you ( bow)
Have a nice day..
Shintaro as always post detailed stuff! You seem to be tired bro! God with you🙏❤️🤙
You made me start judo. Training five times a week 2 hours each.
hows it going!?
Sensei Tuoyito Takagao, recommends training 6 days a week for 4 hours in order to achieve excellence in judo throw s.
Thanks sensei for this video it really helped me thanks again
No problem!
Amazing, thank you for sharing !
Yeah at 5:03, how many times uke resists this in training and makes it so difficult to perform. This is such a great learning video. Best I've seen/heard.
THANKS MR. SHINTARO!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙇🏼♂️
You're welcome bro
Shintaro is the one of those dudes who gets skinnier during a year-long lockdown.
Muito bom sensei! Eu sou do Brasil e te acompanho pelo Instagram e UA-cam, ensinamentos valiosos❤
Everyone should have such a compliant uke. 👍🏼
Great Lesson as always.
Excellent information! Thank you
Great explanation
This video helps alot, Shintaro! Now I know why I have trouble in drills
Many new video master good lucky
Thank you so much for your knowledge Professor. Best wishes.
Same to you!
0:40 damn thats brutal. You destroyed her without even using judo.
Positive statements... also yes we are bipeds no argument there! I'd love to hear more about specifics
Thanks this was super helpful.
Excellent instruction!
Thank you!
Very nice details, thanks Shintaro
My pleasure
Grande didática professor, great way of teaching professor.
Thank you!!
Another great video!
Another great video! Thanks for taking a beating for us Lara so that we can get these lessons!
She says "thanks, but I have no choice". lol
4:48 There’s something special about Shintaro saying “BOOM” when pretending to sweep his partner. It gives me life
I find it interesting that pedro judo shows step first, then kuzushi, then throw.
Thanks for teaching.please teach us correct komikata.
Love it

How do you keep a good kuzushi for nogi throws? Would appreciate a video:)
Can never keep kuzushi. Usually, off balance is a split second thing. You have to create it and attack it.
Really good stuff
Thanks for teaching us.please teach us komi gata .
Code word Kuzushi the secret to judo wrestling Jujitsu
Thanks.
BOOOM! haha gotta love it
Everything is balance from the water you drink to the people you meet in everything you need balance.
Hands go before feet. It's only a split moment when you can hit the technique 👍
how nice!!
Great video again :)
thank you!
I learned a cool training concept that helped my kuzushi from shuai jiao
Could you please share that with me
Sent link pls
@@ugandanjudo6714 if i can find i will
@@Balaclavaballistics I'd appreciate that very much
Very good please explain atime-waza
So basically, in defense, breakfall is the most important (for safety) and for offense, its kuzushi
A aula foi excelente e esta jovem com o sorriso dela deixou o vídeo ainda mais interessante!
Respect from Russian judokas!)
:-)
Good technique.
Thanks!
4:06 after he said "if she taller than me stronger than me" i was waiting for, and her arms are a little bit longer than me.
How i can i use kuzushi and taisabaki without nogi to mix wrestling
I think you should publish a book, with at least 1 example for every waza & write the title here.
She's a dancer
Nice
Makes me think of sine wave from TKD

Kuzushi No GI
Why 10 ads bro?
Hi! I don't understand why does she have purple belt. Isn't it in judo yellow, orange, green, blue, brown and black??
She has purple bjj belt and green judo belt

Will do.
@@Shigashi84 thank you. I look forward to it 🥋🤼♂️🤝
It was explained to me through a push-button-puppet, but I’m kinda slow
Why she is physically stronger?
Is that a purple belt or am I colour blind???
I was wondering the same...
Maybe she trains Jiujitsu?
@@johnlloyddy7016 There are purple belts in Judo.
yes, Lara is a BJJ purp and Judo Green.
I don’t get to do these great throws with my bjj partners, sucks. They know my judo background and pull guard the first chance they get, it’s annoying. Any tips?
There are lots of effective ways to block/redirect a guard pull and proceed immediately into a sweep or pass. Best just look it up.
Stupid question?
But how tall are you and her?
Thnx
Can someone in a staggard boxing stance be thrown readily?
depends who they are, how athletic, etc etc.
@@Shigashi84I see thanks. Great content always!
Useful in self defence... but,
usually attackers don't wear judogi...
What did Lara do wrong in her previous life… he’s using her as a crash test dummy. So not fair
she sarcastic i like her
You’re wearing a BJJ gi in a Judo room, bro.
Your secret is safe with me. 🤫

You would not be able to put a guy even the same size you on his tippy toes but just lifting your hands and using your delts. In competion or randori, nobody does this to off balance the opponent not even inoue. That's not how kuzushi works.
Is Lara using instagram??
Good clips (but I still worry about her pain)
I don’t like it; he keeps throwing Lara.
