The Real Judo

Normally write a bunch of long stuff talking about different issues and such with martial arts. Lately I've been seeing alot of the old black and white footage of Judo in the early days. Watching some of these masters even by todays standards alot of what they are doing is really slick. Alot of what I see these masters doing I don't see used anymore except by BJJ and catchwrestling people. Things like Kimura/Double wristlock takedowns and submissions. Really good scarf hold escapes. The guard being used alot more. People think alot of this stuff was invented by the Gracies until you see these clips. Speaking of The Kimura Lock, A few of these actually feature instruction by Kimura himself. I'm not going to post on the rest of this article. I just ask that you kick back and watch the videos and appreciate the skill and flow of these great masters of Judo.
