This channel always has the best motivation and songs to add to my tourney playlist.

I feel like you rarely see heavyweights go for that yoko sutemi (some people call it kata guruma). Pretty incredible

[---txxx]

Thank you! Great. At 7:55 vs the Dutch guy, ouch for the poor Dutch judoka’s knee, looks like a ligament tear

0:53 I can't believe this was only given waza ari

[K太郎-eq]

Although he's＋100kg, he can quickly move and throw variously.

It's amazing.

[ilVecchioKoala]

Wow, he's so technically complete, great stuff.

Teddy is retiring soon. This guy will be the next campion. It would be interesting to see Teddy prime vs Kim's prime but won't happen, sadly. So much age difference.

1:24 Yoko Guruma? Isn't it Kata Guruma?

[MifuneBoBune]

Nothing works like skill and a low center of gravity.

He is like Yamashita from Japan in 1970 and 1980 ..Invincible…👍

この人強いわ。斉藤に勝っただけある。
背負い、大外、内股、小外、体落としなど技も多彩で切れる。

김민종 선수는 진짜 상대의 중심을 간파하고 있는듯 직감적으로 알고있는건가

[sushinfudoshin]

He has defeated all top heavyweights, except one, and when that counted the most.
In fact, that throw made me look like he got buried, which is far from the truth during the fight.

[FROST_]

You should know that he's the son of Master Butcher. He ate a lot of fine meats as his was kiddo lol

[大好きひぐらし]

何をやっても一級品、正にオールラウンダーですね
韓国背負い解禁で更に手をつけられなくなりそう
