Very cool. I was able to create something like that no gi making a triangle.

 

Excellent video quality. Thanks for posting.

I take it this is from the Kanae Hirata video?

 

Hey question... I know I should ask my Judo coach this but,


Is Kosen Judo a school, or is it a style outside the Kodokan?

Thanks man.

 

Jigoku jime is easily one of my favorite chokes

 

It's a style of judo that focuses on groundwork.

Kosen judo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

A style historically that began within the Kodokan.

Kosen is an abbreviation of k&#333;t&#333;-senmon-gakk&#333;. Which means 5 year high school. They developed competition rules and training that favored mat work. In 1914 Kano organized the Kosen championships at Kyoto University. The Kosen players started beating the more traditional Kodokan players with some regularity and in 1925 Kano changed the competition rules to favor more standup and less matwork and Kosen became less popular.

 

kosen judo = grapple-friendly.

 

the nostalgic beauty of primitive newaza sure is something else

 

Thanks guys

 

It's called the Hell Strangle, for Christ's sake! Cooler name than lion killer, IMO.

BTW, I love the following choke:

and always considered it a variation of hell strangle. Am I wrong?

And yes, I know. I'll ask the shodans and hanshi next time I see them.
