For those who cannot appreciate this because they don't understand what their seeing sees a piece of glass & throws it away. For those who understand what this video clip has to offer sees a piece of diamond and keeps it. There's a time for every style of combat. Mifune Sensei was one of the best in his Art.
This is philosophy in motion. Such beautiful representation of the Truth, and proof that we are superior beings other than the flesh that encases us. Mushin on film. Beautiful.
Mifune, in my opinion is one of the greatest judokas ever lived. His technicality of judo is unimaginable for a modern judoka. If there would be such thing as 11th, 12th, 100th dan, he'd be it.
This is interesting to watch but it's clearly not randori. It's a demonstration of the principles of judo and the fluidity that a player should strive for. No disrespect to old Mifune but his partner was clearly permitting the throws, following his leg work and assisting the throws. Same for the kid and the guy playing.
@greasemunky326 VERY well put! I, too, wonder what has happend to the true meanings behind the martial arts, and why they have all lost so much of themselves, and their histories. It is a shame and a true tragedy that there is so little left of the true forms.
I saw judo for the throws, BJJ for ground game and muay thai and you're set.. I did train BJJ for about 8mths back in 2004 and learned a few judo techniques but it was all based on ground game.. I've seen good judo practioneers such as parisian in MMA and he had some VERY impressive judo throws !!
Mifune was moving his weight to the opposite side of the throw while moving his center off the thrower's hips. The thrower's legs have already been extended so he had no more control over Mifune at the point.
This is a very good skill to learn since most fighting degenerates into a brawl on the ground anyway. All that martial arts stuff goes out the window when you have a 250 lb guy sitting on your chest beating the hell out of you. The trick in a fight is not to get knocked down and knowing what to do if you do get knocked down or you're dead. This guy shows you how not to get knocked down.
@dogabutila I have to agree with you. I am very fortunate to to train at one of the few dojos left that teach traditional judo and it is exactly as you say: It is taught as it was meant to be originally; a form of self defense and spirituality(for those who can see this aspect) based on foot and groundwork on skill, technique and theory as opposed to strength and competition. I have nothing against competitive judo. But IMO its a real shame that judo lost its original purpose in many senses.
@bigfatdick5000 - It is true. when Judo was originally developed it focused more on technical aspects then strength and speed. When compared to the other popular arts at the time, it is highly scientific. In this video you can see how well judo can work; for example, the boy against the other man. At that time, no other arts could allow one to fight on an equal footing with such a disparate strength difference.
@dogabutila "on a equal footing to fight on a disparate strength differences" That's what I was looking for when I first seeked my judo practice, i reckon it's seemingly based more on strength than technical skills maybe cus it's sports(olympic) judo that they're doin. What I see in this vid, the little boy and old sensei is a very different world from what I see in my dojo (if weight/strength difference, your fate is pretty much set). I will seek out the traditional judos, truly fascinating.
@dogabutila Thankyou for the info. that's what i thought judo is really supposed to be - the 'gentle way' - not just winning by sheer strength or weight class, but being technique-oriented can beat a bigger stronger opponent. otherwise a traditional art like judo wouldn't live up to its name. i am a beginning judoka. am looking for good examples of "judo technicians". good i found out this info.
I see what you mean--at 2:45 he had him loaded up, but didn't complete the throw... I guess that was, in fact, a case of respecting the teacher (especially seeing as he hadn't quite gotten under the uke's center, so the throw wouldn't have been 100% clean).
@bigfatdick5000 Cntd. However it is apparently from watching olympic judo, (and as Gracie found) practical (nogi/street) judo does encourage strength. Using technical skill, it can be hard to control one's opponent. I encourage you to study BJJ as well, as it is even more highly technical and even less strength based. However, judo is an excellent base to learn from. It will teach you good balance and other valuable skills. Studied judo, BJJ, and a form of striking art and you will be well off
The type of judo you see in the video will train your technical skills better. The type of judo you are learning in your dojo is more readily adaptable for street use. However, if you could learn judo as is taught here, where they teach only in skill based / technique based classes, your own judo would improve greatly as well. The difference between this video and real life are evident. The child is easily lifted by the other judoka. He would be in a submissive position on the ground every time
So I watch this and think "Ah, yes, there is something for all martial artists to learn here". Then I watch a modern judo 'master' and I think "Fuh, Duh, Fuh! Beer, chips, protien! Kill Kill Maim! Ha ha Ippon! Ha ha shidou!". satorically, where have proper martial arts gone to in this century...
Judokas, I just want to know, Are they just *Afraid* to offend their senior Sensei Mifune, or are they really just couldn't get him at all.... None of the black belts in their primes were able to throw him , yet they kept being thrown by the old sensei....
aikito means in japanese way of love,the symbol of antiwarcrass in japanese mean that they are nagainst war Ihave to continue in norwegian,men motstter seg ikke ,judo in japanese means soft way,when i sould go for the yellow belt I met dracula so I took the stand to go with the wite belt the rest of my life,zensinn,begynnersinn,
i respect judo and all its techniques but the man doesn't seem, to my observation, to put much effort which i say due to the comparison between judo fighters in the olympics where they "follow through" with their throws...

THE BEST JUDOKA OF ALL THE TIMES!!!!
tellement magnifique! quel maître! wonderfull wirklich unglaublich mein gott ist er begabt... -_-'

That man is just unthrowable! I bet his students are so puzzled just how is that possible. Excellence.
A Master My teacher was a master of Pau Kua and would have loved this
Wow...just wow.
I saw judo for the throws, BJJ for ground game and muay thai and you're set.. I did train BJJ for about 8mths back in 2004 and learned a few judo techniques but it was all based on ground game.. I've seen good judo practioneers such as parisian in MMA and he had some VERY impressive judo throws !!

Ahh...the beauty of Judo
Kyuzo Mifune was a badass... I love him :D

kata guruma looked so effortless there...

this short clip show why me LOVE JUDO !!!! :X
Randori is not about lost or win, but about to learn how to use the techniques in shiai later.
@dogabutila "on a equal footing to fight on a disparate strength differences"

beautiful...simply amazing
Wow. What an amazing Judoka. Inspiring. I wonder how Helio would have faired in a match.
that's just...not fair.
@dogabutila Thankyou for the info.

This is a technical demonstration, not a serious randori. The point is for the observers in the back to learn what good judo looks like.
The clip shows us what the real judo is.
This looks much more like aikido then modern judo.
mifune rules
They don't throw him because they can't.
that kids was freaky good........
@beardydave true ...
no it shows you a mere demonstration
@bigfatdick5000 Cntd.

Skilfull. A great Judoka, but i think Mifune is not attacked at 100%. Anyway, It is a great technique's demonstration.
Obi..
hes right this is demonstration judo.
The type of judo you see in the video will train your technical skills better. The type of judo you are learning in your dojo is more readily adaptable for street use.

i have an idea about the ball but, can someone tell me about that ??
that is the difference between a black belt and a red belt...
So I watch this and think "Ah, yes, there is something for all martial artists to learn here". Then I watch a modern judo 'master' and I think "Fuh, Duh, Fuh! Beer, chips, protien! Kill Kill Maim! Ha ha Ippon! Ha ha shidou!".
satorically, where have proper martial arts gone to in this century...
Judokas, I just want to know, Are they just *Afraid* to offend their senior Sensei Mifune, or are they really just couldn't get him at all....
None of the black belts in their primes were able to throw him , yet they kept being thrown by the old sensei....
does anyone know who the child is/was?
whats the kids name???
where's the randori
wat do U mean by K Mifune Sensie was the best, Judoka or u mean to say that small man at the picture was G Master Jiguro kano Sensie? > Humor
how old have the kid :O :O
aikito means in japanese way of love,the symbol of antiwarcrass in japanese mean that they are nagainst war Ihave to continue in norwegian,men motstter seg ikke ,judo in japanese means soft way,when i sould go for the yellow belt I met dracula so I took the stand to go with the wite belt the rest of my life,zensinn,begynnersinn,
i respect judo and all its techniques but the man doesn't seem, to my observation, to put much effort which i say due to the comparison between judo fighters in the olympics where they "follow through" with their throws...
Are the judokas really going at it 100%. cos this looks like a demo. Not Randori.
This is comment suicide but... It's easy to not throw someone when you don't kazushi. Just saying.
but you forgot BJJ is judo.
ich glaube begabt ist nicht der richtige ausdruck ... ich glaube der hat einfach jeden tag 3 stunden trainiert und 5 weitere überlegt... hehe
