Thank you all.

That's a really helpful analysis of sweeping techniques. I've always struggled with them and now I see more clearly why. Thank you very much

[jackfisher]

I want to thank you for your commitment to exposing the truth about Judo. I spent a total of 5 years in Japan and practiced Judo while there. In northern Japan, Judoka were looked upon with high regard. The Japanese said Judo meant, The Gentleman's Way. They were expected to act accordingly outside of the Dojo. By studying Judo O learned a lot about Japanese Culture that most people would never see.

I'll definitely be buying your book.

I really respect your commitment to your translation career. Also I love the idea behind hikikomi ashi barai. It creates more opportunities.

Old style foot sweeps were done on tatami mats. Uke would be positioned so the sweep was done in the direction of the tatami's weave. Going against the weave resulted in more friction on the foot, often resulting in a poor sweep. Weft and Weave!

Classic stuff was really more practical it seems

[AnthonyDibiaseIdeas]

Thank you very much. Excellent and comprehensive explanation of the most important elements of a foot sweep. Never heard this before. Foot sweeps are my very favorite.

Congratulations! You put so much passion in judo . Amazing!!! Published a book so well done ! And learning Japanese all for the love of judo . Congratulations

[aleksbob]

Thank you for your work and analysis. As a judo lover, it is very interesting for me to watch your work on the study of judo. Judo unites all its lovers. 🇷🇺👍💪

Wow Chadi this is amazing.

I immediately bought a copy. I'm a big fan of your work. I will also share with my father who will be delighted to read the Japanese Language Chapter as well. Perhaps he will seek the original work in Japanese.

I really appreciate any work on Meiji Era Japan including martial arts or history so, I can't thank you enough for putting this work together.

Chadi what do you think about the team matches between france in Japan the referee and teddy being selected.
Also could you do videos reacting to do winners.
Ps love your channel

[JBDacasinJr]

Looking forward to reading your book. Arrives Wednesday

[justin]

I find alot of your takes on modern bjj really off, or old and tired.

But man, I absolutely love your judo content. Bought your book! Hope it sells well! Congrats

[vids]

Maybe (probably) Im missing something but this seems more like a difference between gi vs nogi rather than old vs new.

[jacques]

waiting for the french translation, can't wait to read it !!!

DECONSTRUCT ALL MODERN AND SPORTS JUDO
Chadi, I watched your presentation on why you disagree with Judo in the Olympics. I would go further that Judo should be removed from all "For Profits Contests with money, medals and trophies involved". I advocate further that classical Judo should be revived and that includes all classical wazas, training and traditions of a Japanese Dojo. This has to be done by highly committed Sensei who are moral and ethical, who put safety and welfare of students and tradition above all other things like glory, notoriety and profits. In fact, I am in favor of not-for-profit dojos taught by Senseis who are "certified as Traditional Judokas". This is a dream that may never be realized, but this is the vision that I have.

Hello Chadi!
I really like your videos, and this one is not an exception. How you explore different topics and try to discover the ancient hidden treasures that lie within those beatiful martial arts.

Finally! Someone to understand that a milimeter off (sweeping both/one leg) does NOT differentiate a technique! There is so much more to unravel though - and seemingly everyone around is so obsessed with sport and rules and the Olymipcs to not give a bark about the principles. I have much much more to say but I always have to stop myself, else I will just not run out of words.

Also, did you know that the "okuri" ("sending") in okuri-asi-barai is very probably a horrible translation (and not just some super-deep hidden meaning)? As I have read in an aikido book, "okuri" is a name for a specific type of stepping in martial arts - from frontal stance (squared) you:
1) move your foot closer to the other and place it (narrowing the stance)
2) move the other foot (widening your stance again)
With this in mind - okuri-asi-barai would really make sense - you really are sweeping the (uke's) leg that is coming closer to the other (uke's) leg - which may be lazily described as "sweeping both legs".

This comment is long enough, so - there are so many more lost things to rediscover. And more are being lost with every new sunrise - for example - everybody now calls "drop kata-guruma" the "standard" and the standing one the "traditional" or "kata-form".

If you are interested, I can provide a lot more insight (on anything regarding judo, not just this technique).

Chadi did you watch the Olympics what's your thoughts overall

[choirussel]

until now same way of teaching, different techniques as okuri ashi barai and de ashi barai.

[thehermit]

Do you know anybody who teachies the old way in London?
