I love it when clubs have both 'Judo and BJJ' in the name.
Is he related to Antonio Carvalho?
Not enough attacking once grips are established. A good Judo player isn't going to let you take your grip and hang out that long... but I suppose if he was trying to give his student a chance to work, it's not too bad. The throws looked really good... with a few exceptions.
I think uke being exhausted had a lot to do with it as well though, but I agree, he offered no attacks at all and took a pounding.
Does 5th dan seem a bit optimistic to you? I didnt think he looked polished enough for that level, any 5th and over Ive seen looks more perfect in the kazushi than this dude did.
What's the history on this bloke? Initially judo (5th dan?) but looks like a BJJer and MMAer also?
When I said there was not enough attacking happening after the establishment of grips, I was talking about both men. As I said, the sensei may have just been trying to give his student time to react, but if so, there was not enough reacting going on. His student should have been attacking, or breaking the grip. That being said, the comment on the video says that it WAS after 30 minutes of randori and he was exhausted... but if he is so exhausted that he can't practice good Judo, what's the point?
As far as the 5th dan goes... I don't know. At first glance I would say "no", but there were moments that his ability really seemed to shine though and I am thinking that being tired played a big part in the sloppiness factor. I have a feeling that we would have seen a vastly different person at the beginning of randori.
