    Kimura's story reminds me of the saying "it's better to be a poor fencer and a great grappler than it is to be a great fencer and poor grappler.

    It just goes to show, that it’s good to have friends in high places. No one knows what attributes any of the other men had to pass down, because they were sent to their deaths. Without that one high ranking Japanese officer, history would be quite different.

    Hello, can you review an ethnic sport I just recently discovered in my home country of the Philippines. It's called Bultung, a belt wrestling similar to ones in Scandinavian belt wrestling, in Senegal, India, and Korea. By the looks of the techniques, it's very similar to the ones mentioned. We all know that we share the same body type so techniques are crisp in similarity but differs in origin, culture, application and execution.
    Would love to hear you insight on the said ethnic sport, I am a Filipino and I am passionate in watching and learning grappling skills 🤼‍♂️🥋

    LOL! I was told a similar story by KIMURA’s training partner and room mate. A Japanese American interpreter WW2 who the 3 men Kimura- Donn Draegar and my friend. All trained and lived together after the war.
    Funny Mas Oyama had a similar story line. Later founding the Kyokushin organization after a Third Dan in Judo/ Shotokan and Goju Ryu.

    Great story. However, I think it was pointless for the captain to embarrass the 8th dan master in public just to see how good Kimura was. Kimura was in his prime and already a 3-time all-Japan champ. No human being in Japan at the time could beat him in grappling. lol

    Better that he didn't fight and die for a racist, evil, Imperial ideology.
    Reading about what Japanese troops did to children they called 'spirit girls', held captive in Imperial Japanese Army latrines, as well as what they did to pregnant women and babies, I'm very relieved that Masahiko Kimura was never a part of those sadistic crimes against humanity.
    Kimura is one of my favorite fighters of all time.
    In my country many are fanatics over Jun Fan Bruce Lee, claiming he was the greatest, but for me Masahiko Kimura was the real ultimate fighter, renown globally in challenge matches against all comers, and reigned as champion.
    He proved that his judo , mixed with submission catch wrestling, was superior to others. Even superior to the Brazilian Gracie Kosen Judo family.

    • @Shadowrulzalways
      @Shadowrulzalways Рік тому +1

      Kimura didn’t learn catch wrestling. It’s not even listed in his profile. Plus this was during WWII. Catch wrestling wasn’t a popular sport in Japan at the time. And Kimura was only trained in Judo, Karate and Jukendo. Mostly Judo. His Judo was his main style and technique he used.

    Hey Chadi, do you know about the 2 fights Kimura had against Waldemar Santana?
    The first one was a jiu-jitsu/judo fight and Kimura dominated completely Waldemar, but the second one was a Vale-tudo fight and ended as a drawn but Kimura said he thought during the fight he could die at any moment because Waldemar kicks hurt him very badly.
    Waldemar was also a capoeira fighter and trained by the famous Mestre Bimba.
