I think we have a buddy cop movie on our hands.
😄
Travis Stevens “I don’t need a partner, I’ve got my own way of doing things.” Chief replies “exactly that’s why we’re partnering you with Higashi” Travis “Chief having a partner will only get in my way!”.
Be better than anything Hollywood is putting out.
It’s more of a ‘no cop’ situation
This was the Judo equivalent of the Rocky vs Apollo fight at the end of Rocky 3 ha ha!!
his ability to stay on the feet in insanely impressive, well done by both of you!!
Sensei Seth!!!! I want a trilogy with all three of you
@@GameBred007 no he's still too traumatized from last time...
Ikr
Hi Sensei.
seth if you do have a chance to talk to travis and do a video with him, that would be awsome
This was awesome to watch! I was just wondering what would happen if the two of you shared the mat, and then it happens. Outstanding. Very educational and fun to watch. Thanks for all you do!
Now lets get out there and train
Hi there.coach
Hey, Ramsey -- maybe you can try out some choke and grab escapes with them to make sure they're realistic. Cup recommended but not required 😅
@@JudoGeoff I think he is in china
I didn't wait it to see you here . Next idea for you video remove gi to anticipate a throw lol
1:48 - Ok, as a Judoka under 6ft, I feel like Higashi just taught me a way to deal with people grabbing over my shoulder
Remember the big thing he did there: posture. Travis' grip didn't bend him a single degree.
You're completely right, thanks for pointing that out, I'll give that a go too.
I was going to ask if you learned to stand up straight but posture is definitely a better way to say it.
As a smaller guy myself i have the same issue particulary when the 2 Mtr plus guys (we have a few) wanna have a go...
Snap down.
2:23 : History was made when Travis Stevens Drops a Standing Ippon Seoi Nage, strikes a pose, and plugs his Ippon Seoi Nage TH-cam Video all in under 3 seconds. Olympic Silver Level Marketing.
I'm pretty sure he was not still standing when it was over.
@@mmongiello722 True - but it technically wasn't a drop seoi.
So dope. Love these guys chemistry
@@lamesurfer1015 I agree it was not a drop. Do you agree the most impressive version is when the opponent lands on the ground while the thrower remains standing?
@@mmongiello722 ABSOLUTELY. Standing throws are cinematic (and practical from a tactical standopoint). Sometimes I debate whether or not "Rolling" Throws (Rolling Seoi, Uchimata, etc.) should be awarded Ippon and not Wazari. Standing is best!
Two highly skilled players going at each other and to your average Joe it looks like a scramble. Replace one of them with an untrained opponents and we would have a scene from a high budget action movie. Super educational!
@@ACIIIL_extracts-zr5wz yeah.
That's what I like about high level grappling
Considering the weight difference, Shintaro did fantastic here! Loved this video, well done both Travis and Shintaro 🙏🥋
Shintaro competed heavier than Travis tho. I think they are about the same now since Travis stopped competing. For ref Shintaro competed in 100kg and Travis competed in half-middle (-81 KG)...Unless you're talking about how Travis is smaller 😆
@@Kwisatz-ChaderachShintaro stated he was 180lbs and Travis was 230lbs at the start of video - which gives Travis a big advantage ontop of him being an Olympian 😁 all things considered, this was an excellent video and both Judoka did fantastic 💪🥋
@JoJoKenn94 heck yeah! Thanks for the info. Missed that part 😆
@@JoJoKenn94 Travis looks like an absolute gorilla here! I was guessing 250ish to Shintaro's maybe 210-220.
I don't know which one I should say, is it impressive from Travis to hold his own against a 6th degree black belt complete grappler like Shintaro, or it's impressive from Shintaro to hold his own against a bigger stronger high level olympian medalist like Travis !
I think it’s the latter
I believe Travis was awarded his 5th degree black belt so they're almost the same now in terms of belt level.
Also, Travis is a BJJ Black belt which he got in 18 months. Shintaro is still only a Brown belt.
My point is that they are both amazing complete grapplers
@@christulloch3473 Shintaro has also wrestling background.
Rank in judo is more symbolic of knowledge than pure skill, although they are closely related.
My goodness, look at that grip fighting!!! The commentary was hilarious.
2:22 Awesome ippon seoi nage from Travis.
1:48 Shintaro's counter to the Georgian grip was intense, but Travis made it seem like a walk in the park. That's crazy.
Don’t know how I missed 2:22
he took him down though? lol maybe a walk with a trip. XD
Yeah Travis said, "oh okay" when Shintaro did a foot/leg sweep after the end of the gregorian grip there. He knew Shintaro got him. Shintaro then had his back, definitely a dominant newaza position.
Judo is hard work and kudos to all the judoka out there whether your a world class competitor or a judo enthusiast training for self defense and fitness.
My fingers winced at those grip breaks lol 😂
Seriously the only two people I watch for takedown stuff
What an honor and pleasure to watch
Stevens' trademark, Koga seoi at 2:25 was just so beautiful. Plus fun to watch their nogi rolls lol
So legit! I was curious how sparring worked in Judo... but similar to other disciplines, when two respectful, high level practitioners engage there's ebb and flow, give and take, and no one gets injured! Great video!
Only amateurs give it 100%.
@@m5a1stuart83 and so what, u speaking in the nonsense
@@m5a1stuart83 and so what, u speaking in the nonsense
@@pelejahosoba5280 Well, my friend got his shoulder broken since the randori was like a final in Olympic.
@@m5a1stuart83 That is a normal thing for judokas to accept, just because of what happened to your friend, u shouldn't apply it to everybody, because no judoka or judo in itself was designed to take it easy on your opponent or play ball together, I also got my elbows fractured thrice,turf toes, broken fingers,blisters and all form of severe injuries, but I always healed and got stronger,even Travis doest take it easy during randori
okay can we get Shintaro removing his gi mid air to avoid the throw in slow motion? lol
There's an option to slow the speed. Just click the three dots if you're using the app, or the gear if you're in the website.
Where? Time stamp please
@@mrmalayweather4850 4:44 ~ish
This gave me some great chuckles. Thank you both for a little entertainment and positivity to distract me from the freeze down here in Texas. 👏💪
Love this video and we're following you guys all the way up here in Alaska. Had the privilege of attending Travis's clinics twice when he came up, and each time my judo grew! I can't wait to visit Shintaro Sensei's dojo and learn from him as well. 🙏
This was great. Love the variety of content youve been putting out.
Watching the grip fighting was awesome.
This is great guys!!! Thank you for making this video! I thoroughly enjoyed watching it!
One of my favorite videos to date! Informative and hilarious I love it!
Great video, especially the grip fighting. Would love to see more standing and ne waza randori sessions. I've learned a lot from both of you. Can't wait to get back in the dojo to practice and pass on some of what I've learned watching your videos. Thanks for your contributions to judo and grappling arts in general.
Fantastic performance by both participants. Much love from the UK.
You guys are awesome to watch and great teachers!! Love it so much!
I actually learned alot from this and I smiled the whole time! Thanks for sharing I will watch again to try and make a note on what I can apply to myself. Sensi Shintaro moves so well and can fight from all angles and Sensi Travis Stevens with that gripping excellence and self ads fo his instructional :)
Great match. Really enjoyed it. You guys are both great!
Fabulous! It's such a pleasure to see two very highly skilled Judoka randori! Thank you!!
Love the energy between you two !!! Make my day, missing the mats so much T_T
That was class, two of my favourite judo educators doing what they do best.
This was just amazing, thank you for uploading!
This was epic 😂 very fun to watch thank you 🙏🏼
This was GREAT! I learned so much about how high-level players move on one another. So good. I couldn't stop watching this.
This was really inspiring! Thank you both
One of the most entertaining randori I've seen! Thanks, Shintaro!
Glad that I stumbled onto this video. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
Well done guys! Was fun to watch!
I was laughing through and through the whole video. Brilliant stuff guys. Thanks for this one.Inspiring
Seeing the Two of you play chess was amazing! Love the live commentary, hahaha! Please do another round or two.
We are missing this action in the UK so thanks both of you for whetting our appetites of what we have to come as and when we can! 🥋
Thank you for your lessons it was wonderful to watch!
This is awesome. Looking forward to seeing a rematch. Just unreal judo skills from both of these guys. This is the judo version of watching the 92 Basketball Dream Team scrimmage video.
The best part - it is so apparent the amount of fun you guys are having.
This is awesome. Please consider doing this more often, perhaps limit each other to a few specific moves? I was watching some of the failed throws thinking "THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME". It would be awesome watching you overcome those failures. Awesome awesome.
this was so awesome to watch. smile ear to ear for almost 8 mins. thanks, gentlemen.
Sublime. Both so wonderful to watch ... warms my heart.
Love the dynamic these two world class judokas have. Oss!
The nogi judo part looked hard, this was a very entertaining video and really makes me want to drop BJJ for judo. OSS!!
EDIT: I really love jiujitsu, but I'm officially switching to Judo in March!!! OSU!!!!
Why not both? :D
To me, judo is more relevant to real life situation, and add in your striking skills (taekwondo) and you have comprehensive martial arts, in my opinion
@@kennethrogers1129 Judo banned leg grabs in 2010 and also shortened newaza time, so in order to train what most people think of as "Judo" we have to train wrestling, BJJ, and Judo. The 3 combined give what "Judo" was meant to be (a complete grappling style)
@@MaxLohMusic Na, there are many traditional judo clubs.
@@MaxLohMusic i have been in three dojos that still teach real Judo!
I have been waiting on this !! 😭😭😭
02:38 he tried to throw him with a lower lapel grip! Hahaha awesome
You are both very very impresssive guys and this was awesome to watch!
Fantastic, guys! Well done!
"Look at that pant grab!"
It's good to know that that never stops happening in no gi rolling.
Two incredible martial artists going at it. Love it fellas
Awesome!!! Thank you guys so much!
Hahahaha this is so hilarious you other have so different characters it's like a Judo comedy duo even during ramdori lol😂😂😂 "come on let's play"
I didn’t think you could just “play” judo like this, that was really cool to watch! I’m always so tense when I engage in stand up, even when I tell myself not to be!
You were taught wrong. Really important to teach right from the beginning to not be afraid of falls. The reason you are tense is because you are not confident in your ability to take a proper fall.
@@im4485 alright calm down big shot 😂😂. I was merely making the point that these two are really good at “playing” judo.
@@tomsawyer7429 oh... İ didn't mean to sound like a big shot... I am still bad at falling... I just know where the problem lies now.
Same man! I’m just worried about making the wrong move and being hurled into the ground and landing wrong and cracking my neck. It’s always a fear in the back of my mind.
At my club this week I did a slow build up, using seoi nagi to ‘French Randori’ (sort of). Ended up progressing to one or two combinations after throw for throw, switching minimally resisting opponents. This was at a club I’ve just started training at and feels a lot less competitive, great way to give you a second to think and not continuously be on the defensive. Back to the competitive randori at the end of the week though. Great sesh on this video too.
Travis's got them massive arms. Great fight!
Two legends, amazing stuff!
Great job Shintaro defending yourself , you were dealing with a substantial weight difference and... with judo super champ Travis Stevens, who is also hugely talented BJJ black belt (under John Donaher).
Both of you are awesome, fun to watch, and give great advice on your channels. Kudos:)
This was great! You can tell alot about your relationship with someone in randori; Lots of mutual respect here And I can appreciate that Sensei Travis is a cuddly bully 😂😂😂 Thanks for another amazing video Sensei Shintaro. Looking forward to more colabos. Now back to driving. Had to stop to watch this lmao
I enjoyed that a lot. I'm not going to say why I was surprised at the results 🤣 you two futzing about, love the verbal sparring 🔥
Very entertaining! Bravo fellas!
yooooooh that counter at 1:52 was juicy! Im gonna try to keep that!. That Gi slip off is so anime worthy! Awesome stuff.Loved it
That was great! Thanks guys!
Great video with awesome skills and attitudes on display.
The most interesting thing to me is the focus on and intricacy of the grip fighting. It seems to be about 70% of the battle and only once it is won - for a fleeting moment - is a throw possible.
For much of my time as a judo player (recreational level), the emphasis was the other way around. That made it hard in shiai where I'd often feel I had better judo (throws) than my opponent but couldn't get my grips.
Interesting.
Travis is a funny dude, but I swear to god he sounds so serious.
Travis you are a beast. Shintaro great job taking on a much bigger opponent. Greatly appreciate you both for the amazing info you have put out to help guys like me train during the pandemic.
Travis: you punched me in the nose.
Shintaro: good!
Lol I love the collab, the skills, and trash talk!!!
Especially the cheating, love it, if you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying!!!!!
May I add the 50lb weight difference? It made for unique dynamic
It's like wrestling a bear lol. Shintaro put up a hell of a fight especially considering the size difference. He had to work three times harder on everything he was trying to do. Great work, guys!
Bad ass man I love it ..thanks
Excelent !!!!!! More of this please 💪🏼🙇🏻
Great video! Thank you!
Great to watch
Wooh! That was a lot fun and the no gi towards the end was an extra treat!
Thank a for the video!
Fantastic video!! More of this please!!
Thank you brou.
From Brazil.
I was hoping for a video like this with you both. Awesome! Travis looks so hard to move.
Glorious. deepest respect to both men. Wonderful.
It was great watching you two go at it.
A friendly and playful randori between two of the most experienced,
loved and famous judokas in the world! Awesome!
Props to Shintaro with the weight disparity. Not easy to be strong enough to stand with someone that much heavier. ✌🤙
This is by far the best video I've seen on TH-cam
AWESOME RANDORI, LOVE HONEST JUDO!! Looks like fun and judo is always applicable to real life self defense. Shintaro, make that big boy move and sweep him!! But he is so quick ! And the power on that shoulder throw, WOW! I think corona has made many of us fat and lazy due to the fear of partner practice, time to get back on the mat and practice!! Just be prudent about who you come in close contact with, Covid is still a worry.
Great stuff!
As a jiujitsu guy this was way more interesting than most of modern bjj buttscooting tbh
Might need to check out some Judo 🥋
Soo much fun to watch 🙏
Seems you both had a lot of fun there. This shows me, what we're all missing since a too long time...
This was a very good demonstration of the difference between what could be considered traditional defence orientated judo in Shintaro and sport orientated judo in Travis. Shintaro seemed to use any of the walls and what not around him to better his position or save himself, whilst Travis seemed to care much more about the rules and had much higher stamina. All around a great video between two great judoka.
That was great!
That was so much fun!
loved the no gi judo sparring. Please do more of these videos
This was amazing to watch.
Super fun to watch.
Very , very good . Thanks guys.
Very enjoyable!
awesome. thanks, senseis.
That was fun! To watch, that is.
That was fun to watch!
This was awesome
Great vid nice to see two experts have a lil spar
