YES! I often tell my students "Kuzushi is EVERYTHING!" Now I have this video to share with them! Thanks for the video! 🙇♂️
HUGE FAN OF YOUR CHANNEL! thank you for watching.🙇🏻♂️
The title says it all. Kuzushi is most important. I learned that over 50 years ago and use kuzushi in everything. Life is a circle.
100%
The way I was taught to study Kuzushi, was to look at the axises of rotation used/employed. A single axis throw is easiest to defend, all three the most difficult. For the sake of simplicity, think of a forward roll as one axis, a cartwheel as the second and spinning as the third (x, y, z for the math people). Grip, wrist rotation, wedges, etc. are means to achieve the desired multi axises throws.
Brilliant
Would love some examples of this explanation if possible Timothy. Thanks.
@@ascensionjournals1185 early on the way we teach kuzushi, is with the gripping. One hand can push forward or back… parallel to the ground. The second hand can pull up or down which is a second rotation (cartwheel). In gripping to do three, you need to get where you can do these two “moves” with one hand and the last one with the other hand. Alternatively, you can do one rotation with either hand and use a foot for the third (foot stop, knee wheel, foot sweep, etc). I hope this helps, it’s much easier for me to see what your doing, and demonstrate what’s missing or not as clean. Break practicing down, do each one individually, then each set of two, then all three. Do this every practice, I believe that practicing fundamentals are they key to good technique.
@@timothylarson3583 thanks for reply. Will keep this in mind and if possible will share a video.. any other videos would be appreciated if u can.🙏🙏
Kuzushi is a very vital element in not just grappling but also in striking and alot of people forget that even judoka
I'll keep that in mind for next time I practice kuzushi.
Thank you for sharing ☺️.
🙏🏻
Critical info. Criminally under-viewed video. I'm still a judo white belt, thanks for all the good info on your channel.
The wrist movement and forearm wedge remind me of "Aiki Age" taught in some Aikido and Aikijujutsu styles. Fascinating stuff.
Chadi, keeping your tsurite wrist close is brilliant! I preach kuzushi in my class until I'm blue in the face, but for a long time Judoka, little things like that are often done without ever being pointed out with words. It's very easy to do without realizing, but now I will be sure to bring that up in my class tomorrow night. Thank you for the wonderful content!!
Kuzushi is the most important element in Judo, in my opinion. It's very hard and difficult to throw an opponent that has a stable position. Only with brute force you can do it if you don't use Kuzushi. Once you master it, you master Judo. It's very important not only for attack, but for defense. When you learn to play Judo keeping your balance and posture and try to break you opponent's, then you start to learn true Judo.
Why I say it's very important for defense? Once you learn Kuzushi, you know what your opponent is going to do, so you counter it without much effort. Have you watched Mifune's videos? Perfect balance and counter of Kuzushi.
You know of to move safely also preventing throw attempts with your footwork (kazushi builtin the movement)
@@channi58 That's your Shintai and your Tai-sabaki.
@@julianyo7072 also like to imagine and eventually you feel tour opponent winding up like a spring or coil when he attacks with good technique. That really helps feel the movement pattern of all throws and automatically kazushi kicks in for defense or conversely same thing for you upon attack. Kazushi, gripping, footwork simply become correct a d powerful movement together once added together. Judo is life, full of energy.
Chadi I have nothing to add; however, your narrative presented fact quite effectively. God bless!
Thank you 🙇🏻♂️
Wow! Thank you for pointing out the importance of the wrist position. Love your videos!
Kuzushi is everything
This may be off topic, but I would say that 75% of the throws shown in this video are not ippon. I think the definition of an ippon remains the same. Throw your opponent flat on his back in a controlled way. If you are rolling over and land in a non-dominant position, it should be a waza-ari, and everything below should be a Yoko. Landing on your face is definitely not an ippon. If you want to finish the fight after an uncontrolled throw, do it on the ground (ne-waza).
I agree many overrotated
right, so with the judogi you can hold at the hand but you are moving it to pull at the armpit, so its like your hand is at the armpit pulling even if it is at the arm.
it can seem confusing if you don't really feel it (and i have the rug rashes to know)
It really is complicated sometimes yet simple
@@Chadi did you hear that Ichiro Abe passed away?
Thanks again for the education on grappling techniques Thumbs up 👍
🙇🏻♂️
in hanpantv they recommend this arm position for throws ! and criticize the "traditional" kuzushi that points upward and in the direction of the throw
I have some problems with no gi Judo kuzushi. Man, i really want no gi Judo to be a thing
Shintaro Nakano does a lot of no gi on his channel
Check out freestyle Judo from the AAU they have a no gi division.
Yah man!!! No gi judo should be more popularized given the general nature of fighting.
I like this video and I know no one who lives their life wearing a gi . Thanks .
I live in Europe, jackets are everywhere
“Kazushi? What does raw fish have to do with Judo?” Said no Judoka ever….
all works in sparing between a novice and vet. as soon as things are a bit more equal, the technicalites don't work. its just down to who makes the mistake.
Not necessarily, look at the Inoue/Suzuki fight
Why during uchi komi does the hikite pull high but yet during an actual throw, hikite goes low ? How many Judokas actually pull high when throwing ?
Watch the Korean Judokas HanpanTV on UA-cam. They have many videos (though in Korean with bad english subtitles), which explain why the upward pulling during Uchikomi is never actually used in practice, and it is never a key element for a throw to happen - and sometimes, it is actually hindering you.
They are trying to teach a more practical and applicable form of Judo, and getting rid of the more traditional techniques and movements that appear to be more for demonstration than anything else. They are concerned with what actually works during randori and shiai.
@@Bl2EAKIN thanks!
Guys is there such thing as a de ashi barai from cross grip?
It's best to do it from standard grip
I still don't understand
Kuzushi is raw fish Right?
Nah, that's kashusho : P
😆
This might be Japanese Judo kuzushi, but it isn’t how some of the koryu approach it, far from it. Kuzushi as we understand in MotoHa Yoshin Ryu JuJutsu is about demolishing structure, skeletal and muscular structure, so the opponent has no ability to resist. It’s much more of a downward spiral of the spine than anything involving lifting people. Even that is quite a simplistic description. But then we don’t have anything close to Judo style throws really as that’s a different style entirely.
Ah "kuzushi" the most misunderstood and abused word in Judo. "Why didn't that throw work?" "Not enough kuzushi!" It's basically used as a catch all word for any and all reasons a throw wasn't successful. If a throw was successful, then there must have been enough kuzushi. It's become a worthless term. "More kuzushi!" Might as well just tell someone to try harder haha.
Namaste🙏 happy shivratri🕉 to everyone pray innocent people of Ukraine and .Russia
🙇🏻♂️
IJF suspended Putin.
And Ichiro Abe passed away
@@Chadi ,
The Kodokan farewell ceremony for Abe-sama will be on the 26th of this month in the main dojo.
i know kickboxing, i dont need kuzushi
Cause noone could ever clench with or tackle a kickboxer?
Rugby players and collegiate folk wrestlers never start trouble with anyone?
If they did, they'd never be able to get their hands on a kickboxer?
Atemi or striking is a form of kuzushi in old Jujutsu
Do you not jab or cut angles ? .. they all are used to keep your opponent off balance.
@ AnDrew good luck trying to throw a massive rugby player or college wrestler in a real fight, you are better off trying to land a punch to his jawline
@ Judokax exactly, parrying, slipping, ducking, and footwork is in fact a form of kuzushi and can be used to set up a throw or takedown as can any strike
