I watch a lot of MMA, but not much wrestling and when I heard that Japan won 8 golds I actually didn't believe it lol I always assume the US and Russia are going to win. Great breakdown!
Japan is #3 all time in Olympic freestyle medals and #3 all time freestyle golds. They've been dominant for decades. As a former wrestler, I've always known how tough they were, so it didn't really surprise me. What's as impressive is that they're still the #1 nation in Judo by far. And if you ask Khabib, Judo is a tougher sport to medal in than wrestling because there are more people doing Judo. I guess you only watch the UFC, bc there are a hell of a lot of Japanese talent (both mma and kickboxing) at the ONE fighting championship.
so it seems like japan is actually adapting their style to what works at the highest level. All of japans athletes are developing their styles based on what works instead of what worked for them when they were in college. the individuality of americas program seems to be a weakness
This is great stuff thank you for sharing please more like this showing good setups to get to a takedown or any type of setup to get to another position
@4:47 we saw Dake win a lot of matches when strength and endurance are win and lose factors. We never see him win a match when speed and technique are the deciding factors. A great example of why US wrestlers need more exposure to freestyle at an earlier age. Dake was a great NCAA wrestler he just never leveled up after college.
Great breakdown man! I just discovered your channel and you are definitely up there with Earn Your Gold Medal, DPS Breakdowns, and Sunny Brown. Would you be open to doing a video breaking down some high percentage MMA wrestling chain attacks? Keep up the excellent work!
out of 11 japan medals 5 was in women freestyle. Japan men team had 6 medals and iran had 8 with 2 wrestlers in 4th place. It is the total team points not just gold medals
oh just they got mad lucky and won 8 golds do you even wrestle dude? no one gets that many golds no country gets that many gold by luck are you that dumb?

Japan is a wrestling powerhouse esp womens, Russia was not permitted to do a team count
Japan is underrated. Their wrestling creditals especially women division is top of the food chain
Kudos to Japan for this. Japanese are always thorough in their preps.
@@ComboMuster I think you will find at the Olympic level most everyone is top end.....maybe not all tho

Props to Japan! The scouting and game planning for their matches really showed this cycle.

I love watching the sport and styles evolve
great video! some of these techniques are so smart it blows my mind athletes can react and perform them in real time
They're wrestle like John smith😂😂
That first sequence with Rei and Lee was amazing to watch in real-time. Japan really showed up!
Lee and Dake are absolute masters. Shows how skilled the Japanese are for beating them both
Awesome channel you have here!! My son and I just subbed🙌🏽 Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing more 🎉
Thank you for the support 🙏🏼
Japan also dominated making wrestling boots. Nothing compares to Asics split-soles.
Amazing analysis bro a lot to learn here

Japanese people such admirable people. Great nation indeed.

Wanna see amit elors breakdown, jer run at the Olympics was nuts
Japan was dominant in said Olympics via wrestling.
Japan is full of high iq fighters. Beautiful culture.
they had the same barber as all the chinese women olympic athlete
Dominate olympics? Maybe in women. Iran won both free style and greco roman
You're living in 2020. Japan men won 2 gold and 1 silver in freestyle. Iran won 0 freestyle gold.
In Greco-Roman, Japan won 2 gold. Iran won 1.
@@fangiscool1 Go look at the total team points. Iran was first in both
out of 11 japan medals 5 was in women freestyle. Japan men team had 6 medals and iran had 8 with 2 wrestlers in 4th place. It is the total team points not just gold medals
out of 12 weight class 6 japan wrestlers got points. Iran had 10 wrestlers with points
Stop sending old and washout American wrestlers. They have no speed . Good job for the women wrestlers.
They got MAD lucky
Yeah sure, 8 japanese wrestlers all lucked out this time around and got gold.
oh just they got mad lucky and won 8 golds do you even wrestle dude? no one gets that many golds no country gets that many gold by luck are you that dumb?
Nah, they're good as fuck!

@@David-xb9kg the women's section wasn't luck same for rei higuchi
However taktani and guy at 65 got lucky
