I was fortunate to have trained under one of Mifune's students- Goro Oki of the Tenrikyo Temple, and Tohkon Judo in Chicago. Sensei used to travel to the suburbs where my dojo was. Those who say that the students "held back" are partially correct. Oki sensei was in his seventies, and I in my mid twenties when I knew him. He went about 110#, and I about 165#. FIRST, the "correct" part about "holding back": It was MUTUAL I can assure you. 1) It is disrespectful to "all-out" attack your partner in an OBVIOUS demonstration, ESPECIALLY someone of Mifune's reputation and status. 2) Yes, it is POSSIBLE that a younger, much stronger person could "force" Mifune into falling, but that does NOT show skill or technique, much the same reason (out side the whole safety/death issues) they don't allow firearms in MMA. 2.1) Assuming you were able to "force" a senior instructor to do anything, it would cause two things to happen. A) You would be a pariah for showing no respect/class and B) Before you were finished, either the senior instructor you disrespected, or another person there, would make sure that you never considered doing that again. 3) Having witnessed a 70+ Oki sensei randori many times with a 25 yr old semi-pro hockey player weighing 260+ who was BRUTE strong and had EXCELLENT balance, and sensei tossed him around like a toy! Not set up, I can assure you. You just could NOT get an advantageous position or grip, and like Mifune, he would let go, wrap a leg around you or just disapear off your radar when you attacked. 4) Oki sensei used to, at times, walk/run on the outsides of his ankles turning his feet 90 degrees inwards, just to get 2" lower, as just one of his tricks! The man was amazing! There were countless times during randori with Oki sensei that we ALL found ourselves 1 second thinking everything was "normal" and planning our next move, and then magically finding yourself looking at the ceiling, wondering "What the hell happened!" with the rest of the dojo looking on, just smiling, recalling their own similar experiences. As someone who won the Illinois State AAU gold medal, I can tell you for a FACT that if Oki or Mifune, even at 70+ got hold of you and WANTED to hurt you, 99.9% of the population, martial artists INCLUDED, could not stop them. If you never experienced training with someone like them, and there are etremely few that have, or will, you have NO idea what it is like to grab a person/gi you can NOT hold, or try to move someone who weighs less than you can preacher curl, and have them gain 200#'s instantly, or to set up technique, like I did with Oki sensei, where I caught him(I thought) with Harai goshi-my best throw- and in the time it took to rotate, he spun around and got in front of me, and THREW ME in tomoenage! Harai goshi was the throw I used to win my final match to win the AAU state championship, so I was pretty darn good and fast(compared to MOST) with it. Yet my BEST throw was a TOY to sensei. And not just ME, but former NATIONAL champions that also taught at our dojo were not even close to that "frail old man"! And as a final statement, if you think that Mifune, or Oki were just good at unrealistic "sport" techniques, you don't know the true history of Judo, the 1886 Tokyo Metropolitan Police Judo vs jujutsu tournament, the joint locks, striking and 50+mph throws that are/were common place to Judo, before the Olympic constraints that have become popular at most Judo dojo.
Sensei goooood comment🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙. Super TECHNICAL. Once every thousand years you find out that it was some people that was/is soooo good that it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE to believe so thats why people doubt it. (I) dont doubt it. Some people think OUTSIDE of the box and come up with techniques and thing that 99.9999 percent of people never even dreamed of and when anything is toooo different than people will doubt it and want even TRY it. Its no different than a good ji jitsu practitioner could come up with a submission that NO one ever saw and keeps catching everybody with it because they never SAW IT. or a good boxer coming up with new ways to get certain angles etc etc. boxing, ji jitsu, wresting, football, or whatEVER sport can come up with new things if they tried thinking OUTSIDE of the box sometimes. I definitely believe this video🤙
Amazing! It looks like he deliberately goes "fluid" at the precise moment when the student estimates how much force will be required for the throw, and then "solidifies" a split second later when the student tries to execute the throw with previously estimated force.
It's crazy some people can look at some Athletes like Basketball or football players and "know" they are skilled but whenever it comes to fighting apparently everyone thinks they can beat a black belt lol
Because sports are a skill, and everyone has different ones. But the ability to fight is the ability to defend one's self, and everyone wishes to believe they have strength.
You think this way, no one else does. Plus who walks around with a black belt on at all times? And who is pointing "hey i can kick your ass" ? Said no one ever. Stop projection homey.
All of you are Judo experts and can distinguish a fake throw from a real one. You can even recognize a sparring session from a perfect throw challenge too. I applaud your expertize, young internet users, you amaze me everytime...
Also, with some throws the guy who gets thrown needs to follow trough the move to not risk injury. So calling out "fake" throws during a sparring is kinda dumb
Mifune had an amazing ability to counter the opponents throw. Flowing with it like water. Changing the center of gravity. Watch films from his younger days. You will see the connection and how through continuous training he refined these skills into his later years.
The student is letting it happen and playing along. If you can't see it, watch it in slow motion or even step through one frame at a time. The student could airplane that little motherfucker 6 times over his head and ragdoll him into the ground if he wanted.
1:19 twice, the big guy pretends to kick his foot but does not go all the way .. its obvious proof the students are not trying their best at all... ... and he's not even reacting to that kick, does not even seem to notice it, thats why the student withdraw the kick before it reaches the stationary non-reacting foot of the old man as he does not want to spoil the demo ...
@@88feji In Judo, you don't make your opponent fall by kicking hard in his leg... It's a whole that break your opponent's balance. Here the big guy could kick as hard as we wanted the sensei's leg, because his sensei neutralized his force. To kick hard you need to be grounded, to have balance by yourself before you want to throw someone else.
This video is such a great example of how a light sparing should be so that people can see and learn a thing or two about judo! I'm so glad this video exists
From the very first throw 0:06, its already obvious the big guy flipped himself ... its basic physics , no one can flip another person just by kneeling down without moving much ... its a FREAKING DEMO , stupid people... The old man is so frail the students will not want to do anything to him as a simply move will break his brittle bones easily .. they are just respecting him as their sensei just like in many other fake demo videos of "grand master" doing crazy stunts ...
Else where its stated that this video is filmed as a demo for promotional purpose, the students are well aware that they are not supposed to treat it like a real competition .. no one goes all out for demo videos, its a universal truth , people ... Anyone who's ever been in the business of making demo videos knows its 100% choreographed and never all out serious fights. Just see how many times the students just stand there to allow him to go underneath them to do things to them ... see how many times the students pretend to execute a move but the hands suddenly "lost grip", go limp etc ... its ridiculous ... watch some real fights of the olympics, then come back here to laugh at this demo video...
@@88feji Spoken like someone who knows nothing about basic physics and for sure never got into a fight. Lol yea it’s a demo but in a fighting situation can be useful if a small fighter finds themself against a bigger opponent. Wen you step in a ring then write a paragraph about how u got ur ass beat.
@@jaywon06 I personally question the hip tosses on the big guy were legit. But everything else was absolutely contributed to his 54 years of training. I blame Steven Segal for people believing that legit judo is all bullshito.
@@jaywon06 this is partially true, because judo has rules to follow, an MMA fighter would beat the shit of this old guy, but in judo you can't punch, and the old guy has a very low center of gravity, Demetrious Johnson would submit the guy in 20 seconds.
Not a lot of people know this, but Steven Seagal taught this guy everything he knows. In the old, underground Dojos before everything was regulated. ;-P
Holy shit... This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that hes whiping the floor with blackbelts and ragdolling them. They don't even see his technique coming to resist it. And he's one step ahead of their every move. It's not a vigirous competition, but a light randori to show off the technique. And in technique (instead of brute strength) Mifune is on top.
Watching this old film footage is great. The martial arts has changed alot over the years. Back then it was about honour and respect. It was a study through the education of the martial arts. The fighting arts are always there - that is obvious. However, to focus on the accomplishments and the learning process should be the goal. Perfection is realizing that there is no perfection. If you focus on perfecting your skills and self growth , its hard to think about the fighting aspect. Utilizing the martial arts to help people to grow or teaching values to people is by far a greater asset. Thanks for this video it brings us back.
20 years ago, I took Ninjutsu for a year. An older 60 something y/o black belt came to our dojo once and did some of the same moves you see at 1:55 when we ended up on the mat. He wasn't near as adept as Master Kyuzo, but the harder we tried to force a submission on him, the more we fell into his trap. He always stayed calm and kept moving.
Amazing show of technique, yes a demonstration of said techniques but the guy is a master of the art of perfecting it all , with years of grind , practice, pain and above all a love and dedication of it all , sir I salute you
El judo tradicional, de pie y en el piso es lo mas efectivo que hay, y viendo esta demostración de un Gran Maestro como el Sensei Mifune, es un placer y una admiración por su técnica y desempeño.
@@jestfullgremblim8002maybe you should go do randori with a judo master so you can understand what you’re witnessing cause there’s absolutely no indication that what you described actually happened. I think you just don’t that Mifune taught his students maximal efficiency with minimal effort so if you use strength to win a judo contest that’s dishonest and setting yourself up for future failure since there will always been someone stronger than you.
At 4:25, he is positioning his opponent for "Hane Goshi" by pinching or twisting their fingers, and then achieving a dominant position with their right hand over their opponent's left arm, at 4:27, this happens in the breath of 2 seconds, and his opponent is still just focusing on the footwork, at this point, 5 seconds later, his opponent's center of gravity is destabilized, and he has no way to defend against Mifune's center. So Mifune shed's his opponent completely and recovers by 4:31. In fact, he is simply showing his students the dance with death, and the force that awaits beyond. Against which no guarantee of victory exists. RIP Mifune.
This man unlocked his Kekkei Genkai. Keep in mind, that his opponents averaged 3rd Dan or higher, and at one point had almost double his body mass and they STILL couldn't toss him. Wouldn't ya know, 54 years of 365 day a year training pays dividends.
Thats because its only a demo video for promotional purpose, they are not sparring for real just demonstrating techniques ... notice the student's 's kicks are not aimed directly with any power, they're just pretending to spar and lets the old man do his thing without resistance, they mostly flip themselves by pushing off the ground, the loose clothing hides their self-flooring actions well...
Only because itd be career suicide to actually dominate the old dude. They have cery diffrent attitudes toward showing respect- even if it means faking
@@88feji they are sparring, and the utchimata that you claim that isn't real, am sad to bring it to ya but, the utchimate kick is next to the balls and you don't want to hit hard during that time. even I and my opponents while sparring we don't kick hard in utchimata because it will hurt
@@Quidoute A longer version of this video includes an intro that says that its a randori video, meaning its only to practise and demonstrate specific techniques .... its not real competition, they are not trying to win over each other, facepalm ...
His timing, sharpness, technique, counter and dicipline among many was absoluely divine. An individual that was able to imbue and showcase a perfect example of a man and a human being. You are remembered and respected 三船 久蔵. ⚡
Groundfighting at the end was interesting, with some submissions, and a nice escape out the back. Of course it looks different these days, defending against punches and whatnot, but cool to see the JJ origins.
I hate stupid click bait titles. Mifune does not "destroy" the students, nor should he. It is light randori and meant to show great technique and timing, which it does. Nobody tries to destroy anybody here.
In which he completely and utterly beats them. Hence, destroy. Learn to English you dumb piece of shit. Language evolves with time and idiots who don't evolve with it get left in the dust.
Destroy: to put an end to the existence of by damaging or attacking. Since each and every one of them went home took a shower fucked the shit outta their girl and lived to fight another day destroy is definitely not the correct word for this scenario. The definition must have changed again since your over emotional outburst. Or maybe your just a moron who gets off on being an asshole. Either way your a douche bag.
Man every jiu-jitsu guy should also learn judo and kosen judo to be well rounded in grappling then muay thai and boxing and we have the best of both worlds striking and grappling. . It's unbelievable how judo is so underestimated and in fact it's one of the best arts one can learn ... Even me , I never thought that judo had so much valid knowledge and power I only saw jiu-jitsu and I was wrong very wrong ... when I say judo I mean all kodokan judo with kosen included. . It's such a graceful art and very effective and efficient indeed ...
Regardless of what you may think about this that old man picks this guy up, who outweighs him by probably seventy five pounds, like a pillow and slams him to the ground with ease.
People miss the point of the video. Obviously his students aren’t doing a competitive randori with him. They are going extremely light, perhaps 10%, to allow him to demonstrate timing and technique given his advanced age. He is teaching things to be applied at full speed by more able individuals in practice. This technique and timing is immediately recognizable to a modern Judoka, and remarkably similar to what is employed at the highest levels of competition by extremely strong athletes.
people wants it to be real .... to romanticise this boring world .... the video uploader even edits out the intro where it says its a demo video, humans ....
A majority of us keyboard warriors will break our pelvis at the age of 75 after a slight fall let alone trying to "fake" throws like this master is evidently demonstrating. It's very easy to use your words to project your self image. Try practicing with diligence and integrity, it will reward you in ways no words can describe. Watched this video after Joe Rogan praised this Master.
I once sparred with a judo expert and it was like trying to throw off gyroscope. He made a fool of me with no offensive movements at all, just a total negation of all my momentum. It was athletic art.
No matter if you are fighting the opponent standing up or grappling with him on the ground, you need to be able to move your body to a safe place to defend against his attacks. Being able to move your body freely to get to this safe place is called Hen(change). At the same moment that you are performing Hen you are drawing the opponent out as he attacks. This causes his openings to quite naturally present themselves and by being able to change freely and take advantage of them this is called Ou. Hen and Ou are actually one and should not be thought of as two separate things.
Float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee. That is Aiki; being at one with an opposing force. In practical terms, it’s the ability to seamlessly flow between complete tension and relaxation.
1:19 twice, the big guy pretends to kick the old man's foot but does not go all the way .. Its obvious the students are not trying their best at all... ... and he's not even reacting to those kicks i mention .. does not even seem to notice it.. Thats why the student withdraw the kick before it reaches the stationary non-reacting foot of the old man as they do not want to spoil the demo ...
Off fucking course most if not all those students could easily overpower the old man, but that wasn't the exercise. The idea was to try to toss him just by pulling a perfect technique. So yeah, in that regard, the old dude was resisting and the students weren't, but it just shows that the guy is still in great fucking shape, and his technique is impeccable. The students going hard would be like Iron Mike feeling good about himself because he pancaked Kevin Rooney's face in training. Off course he could do that if they fought, but that is not what Rooney was there for. He was there to make Mike's technique better each day, just like this old dude here.
in short .... its just a demo of techniques video, not to be taken as real fights. The old teacher is not even ranked as a top 10 judo competitor in history, he's only known for teaching techniques and developing new techniques without actually winning competitions at the highest level ... don't just look at wikipedia, there are articles stating that he lacks accolades but is a great teacher ....
I don't know much about judo for I have limited time training with it. I am more into Filipino martial arts. My grandfather taught me, and even at an advance age me and my dad can not even score against him. And we were not making it easy for him. Even in Dumog (wrestling). Unfortunately he passed away even before he shared all his knowledge about the art to us. I supplemented it by studying with other masters though.
After seeing this on JRE, all I had to type in the search box was 75 and "year old judo master" auto filled. TH-cam algorithm doing its predictive stuffs
@@jonlanier_ i guess you are right, I practiced bjj and thats what I have noticed, however you have more chance to defeat an untrained big guy than a trained one
@@jonlanier_a combat veteran that uses Krav Maga which is designed to eliminate opponents as fast as possible. Don’t want to be standing still fighting martial arts with someone when you are knee deep in enemy territory. How do I know this? I learn from vets constantly. None of them brag about beating someone to a pulp with size. Many were humbled by a smaller drill instructor. Combat experience beats someone who has youth and just learning how to become combat ready. If you tell me you were combat ready before bootcamp, you are lying. The point of this is to teach techniques. Same deal with drill instructors in the army.
2005 Master Shihan flies over twelve, 80+ Judo Masters from Japan for a Demonstration . I’m 15 years old 165lbs on the Football team and Captain of my hs Amaeteur wrestling team see these old guys that look half dead , everybody is joking, they shoved me towards the hands of a 90 year old 105 lb man who threw me around like a puppet for ten minutes. It was like going to Coney Island 😂 I still have the photo of when all them came and kicked all our butts at the Dojo in Brooklyn. The master was in the back smoking a cigarette laughing his ass off
One of the most essential East Asian ideas is written on the banner on top of the wall, it translates to: “the essence is in training your heart.” The West believes in embracing and expressing ones ego, the East believes in managing it. Not suppressing, but managing, so the ego wouldn’t go nuts like a wild beast forever be at the mercy of circumstances.
The moves are real but it's obvious that the stronger, younger student aren't and shouldn't fight back beyond a slight bit of resistance. The old man is still master of the technique, but unfortunately his body is not able to take rigorous back and forth struggle. This should be obvious to all the people saying "fake" but unfortunately good sense is in short supply in our age.
Also let me ask them a question. Would Elvis Presley or M Jackson still be king of rock and king of pop since they are both dead and can't sing anymore... Should I just called them b*******since they can't sing anymore?
I love this video. The thing is, when your a big guy you get used to man handle your opponents in the dojo, because you compensate lack of skill with brute force. When your a small like Sensei Mifune, you have to do it right or you don't get to do it at all.
From watching this video I've realised that what a black belt represents is how good you are in being a demonstration partner. That's why everyone's got one
Every so often I'll watch a few demonstrations like these. I think it was largely inspired by seeing Seagal dispatch a bunch of youngsters in a way that made me think he is a master in the art of bullshit. No bullshit from Mifune-san here though. A master.
when people tell me that little old martial arts masters aren't that scary, I show them this. I did a decade of martial arts training, and this dude scares the living shit out of me
Basicaly, the youngling try a throw by lifting his left leg, the jedi... i mean judo (admit he look like a tall yoda), master make him lose his stance by pulling up his right elbow at the same time. The youngling body lose it's momentum due to the gravity center sudden change, Kyuzo-sensei just has to keep pulling a bit more, shifting the gravity point to the right side a bit more, student lose footing and fall. Or i least i believe that's how it is.
I don't know much about Judo, but there were a couple moments in there where I could tell that the younger blackbelts were trying to throw Mifune, and he would just adjust his weight balance to one side, and maybe a little lower, and the student's leverage was suddenly not there. It's so subtle yet effective.
Look at how well the old master stands on the Bubbling Well cavities on his feet. In Taijiquan, the same principles are applied in Tui Shou and Suijiao wrestling.
He's directly using his height against him here. Tall guy's point of leverage (crotch) is nearer to Mifune's aggressive points of leverage (grip/shoulders) and therefore faster/easier to grab + exploit. Mifune is the fulcrum and tall guy is a lever.
Oh shit i didnt even catch that, i dont follow judo, but remember seeing a meme of him countering a throw and was like that's the coolest shit ever. Probably one of the only times ive seen judo lol
This seems very different from the Judo I used to see on tournaments, people used their strength, here it seems so casual and effortless. Of course it's not a real fight but this master picks up his students as if he was throwing a piece of paper, so easy.
obviously the students are being very respectful, its not a full on competition, but still you can see that the man has incredible balance and doesn't waste any movement.
It subtle but you can catch when he shifts weight, it's in the feet. This old man is awesome. I think he actually achieved perfect center. I'm pretty good at planting(used to be a bouncer and had to toss A LOT of guys who were bigger/faster/better trained than me out on their ass) but this master would have tossed me around like a rag doll.
It is incredible that he could move like that at 90 years old, especially if we take into account that he died at the age of 81
XD Yeah I was looking for a comment like this X'D
thats what makes a true master!

The old man is so frail the students will not want to do anything to him as a simply move will break his brittle bones easily .. they are just respecting him as their sensei just like in many other fake demo videos of "grand master" doing crazy stunts ...
Else where its stated that this video is filmed as a demo for promotional purpose, the students are well aware that they are not supposed to treat it like a real competition .. no one goes all out for demo videos, its a universal truth , people ...
Anyone who's ever been in the business of making demo videos knows its 100% choreographed and never all out serious fights. Just see how many times the students just stand there to allow him to go underneath them to do things to them ... see how many times the students pretend to execute a move but the hands suddenly "lost grip", go limp etc ... its ridiculous ... watch some real fights of the olympics, then come back here to laugh at this demo video...
@@88feji Spoken like someone who knows nothing about basic physics and for sure never got into a fight. Lol yea it’s a demo but in a fighting situation can be useful if a small fighter finds themself against a bigger opponent. Wen you step in a ring then write a paragraph about how u got ur ass beat.

@@jaywon06 I personally question the hip tosses on the big guy were legit. But everything else was absolutely contributed to his 54 years of training. I blame Steven Segal for people believing that legit judo is all bullshito.

Love all the people saying he was being treated easy,the man was in his late 70s and was able to lift and throw 15/16 stone men.
helium 30 he's for sure manipulating their momentum. Probably feels their muscles tensioning and predicts their attack
WTF is a stone???....🤣
Robert Smith some people I know from Britain say it as a measure of weight instead of pounds or kilograms , not really sure what it converts to though
Robert Smith I just google it because I want to know now, it says 14 pounds per stone
I want it to be real..but I've seen far to many Seagal demonstrations.
Holy shit... This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that hes whiping the floor with blackbelts and ragdolling them. They don't even see his technique coming to resist it. And he's one step ahead of their every move. It's not a vigirous competition, but a light randori to show off the technique. And in technique (instead of brute strength) Mifune is on top.

Watching this old film footage is great. The martial arts has changed
alot over the years. Back then it was about honour and respect. It was a
study through the education of the martial arts. The fighting arts are
always there - that is obvious. However, to focus on the accomplishments
and the learning process should be the goal. Perfection is realizing
that there is no perfection. If you focus on perfecting your skills and
self growth , its hard to think about the fighting aspect. Utilizing the
martial arts to help people to grow or teaching values to people is by
far a greater asset. Thanks for this video it brings us back.
6:32 English guy tries a sneak attach, and end up on his ass because Mifune just stepped out of the way :)
Jacek S legend says that till this day, he’s still sliding on his ass.
20 years ago, I took Ninjutsu for a year. An older 60 something y/o black belt came to our dojo once and did some of the same moves you see at 1:55 when we ended up on the mat. He wasn't near as adept as Master Kyuzo, but the harder we tried to force a submission on him, the more we fell into his trap. He always stayed calm and kept moving.

El judo tradicional, de pie y en el piso es lo mas efectivo que hay, y viendo esta demostración de un Gran Maestro como el Sensei Mifune, es un placer y una admiración por su técnica y desempeño.
Wow, a 75 year old being able to flip over some much younger than him and 60 kilograms heavier. Mad respect.

What's the point?
@@toddsmithselbow1732 maybe he is saying that Uke let himself be throwed on purpose, looks like he jumped into the throw
@@jamiesnack☝️
@@jestfullgremblim8002maybe you should go do randori with a judo master so you can understand what you’re witnessing cause there’s absolutely no indication that what you described actually happened. I think you just don’t that Mifune taught his students maximal efficiency with minimal effort so if you use strength to win a judo contest that’s dishonest and setting yourself up for future failure since there will always been someone stronger than you.
At 4:25, he is positioning his opponent for "Hane Goshi" by pinching or twisting their fingers, and then achieving a dominant position with their right hand over their opponent's left arm, at 4:27, this happens in the breath of 2 seconds, and his opponent is still just focusing on the footwork, at this point, 5 seconds later, his opponent's center of gravity is destabilized, and he has no way to defend against Mifune's center. So Mifune shed's his opponent completely and recovers by 4:31. In fact, he is simply showing his students the dance with death, and the force that awaits beyond. Against which no guarantee of victory exists. RIP Mifune.
This man unlocked his Kekkei Genkai. Keep in mind, that his opponents averaged 3rd Dan or higher, and at one point had almost double his body mass and they STILL couldn't toss him. Wouldn't ya know, 54 years of 365 day a year training pays dividends.
Thats because its only a demo video for promotional purpose, they are not sparring for real just demonstrating techniques ... notice the student's 's kicks are not aimed directly with any power, they're just pretending to spar and lets the old man do his thing without resistance, they mostly flip themselves by pushing off the ground, the loose clothing hides their self-flooring actions well...
Why would you advertise this on here? It's the wrong thread, knucklehead!
Only because itd be career suicide to actually dominate the old dude. They have cery diffrent attitudes toward showing respect- even if it means faking
@@88feji they are sparring, and the utchimata that you claim that isn't real,
am sad to bring it to ya but, the utchimate kick is next to the balls and you don't want to hit hard during that time.

Groundfighting at the end was interesting, with some submissions, and a nice escape out the back.
Of course it looks different these days, defending against punches and whatnot, but cool to see the JJ origins.

This is pure beauty. What a pleasure to watch. Thank you for posting this absolute brilliance.
I hate stupid click bait titles. Mifune does not "destroy" the students, nor should he. It is light randori and meant to show great technique and timing, which it does. Nobody tries to destroy anybody here.
In which he completely and utterly beats them. Hence, destroy. Learn to English you dumb piece of shit. Language evolves with time and idiots who don't evolve with it get left in the dust.
Destroy: to put an end to the existence of by damaging or attacking.
Since each and every one of them went home took a shower fucked the shit outta their girl and lived to fight another day destroy is definitely not the correct word for this scenario.

Judo has such a gracefulness to it. Amazing
Regardless of what you may think about this that old man picks this guy up, who outweighs him by probably seventy five pounds, like a pillow and slams him to the ground with ease.
Because the guy being thrown assisted the lift by jumping with the lift, kind of how you would see in wrestling.
The big guy lean his weight into the guy and threw himself.
@@LowTremble Bet you also think wrestling is easy too.

My master was 75 years old, and he was much faster and agile that many of us in the class. Judo is all about energy. I will always remember him.
Joe Rogan brought me here.
75 years old....wow!
People miss the point of the video. Obviously his students aren’t doing a competitive randori with him. They are going extremely light, perhaps 10%, to allow him to demonstrate timing and technique given his advanced age. He is teaching things to be applied at full speed by more able individuals in practice. This technique and timing is immediately recognizable to a modern Judoka, and remarkably similar to what is employed at the highest levels of competition by extremely strong athletes.
true, this is what most people in the comments do not understand.
people wants it to be real .... to romanticise this boring world .... the video uploader even edits out the intro where it says its a demo video, humans ....
Disagree. Especially with the British uke. Are we watching the same video???
the real amazing feat is that he was still doing this at 90 considering he dies at age 81
Yes, an unfortunate exaggeration by whoever posted this... sloppy
You copied this comment- poorly.
Damn I want to be able to do tenth of what this guys doing in my 70s
A majority of us keyboard warriors will break our pelvis at the age of 75 after a slight fall let alone trying to "fake" throws like this master is evidently demonstrating. It's very easy to use your words to project your self image. Try practicing with diligence and integrity, it will reward you in ways no words can describe.
Watched this video after Joe Rogan praised this Master.
Challenger 1: I managed to lift him in the air.
Challenger 2: Oh yeah, well I messed up his gi.
1:25 perfection.
He was so good he lived to be 90 even though he died at 81. That's skill
I once sparred with a judo expert and it was like trying to throw off gyroscope. He made a fool of me with no offensive movements at all, just a total negation of all my momentum. It was athletic art.
judo is a devastating martial art
@@mike62mcmanus well if u cant grapple. Any grappler takes u out, boxer. I can grapple any style and strike with any style.
Damn, sensei Mifune do show many excellent Judo techniqu in this video, he is on another level
No matter if you are fighting the opponent standing up or grappling with him on the ground, you need to be able to move your body to a safe place to defend against his attacks. Being able to move your body freely to get to this safe place is called Hen(change). At the same moment that you are performing Hen you are drawing the opponent out as he attacks. This causes his openings to quite naturally present themselves and by being able to change freely and take advantage of them this is called Ou. Hen and Ou are actually one and should not be thought of as two separate things.
Float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee. That is Aiki; being at one with an opposing force. In practical terms, it’s the ability to seamlessly flow between complete tension and relaxation.
That’s my new go-to line, next time one of my coworkers bails... “O Guruma!”
1:19
twice, the big guy pretends to kick the old man's foot but does not go all the way ..
Its obvious the students are not trying their best at all...
... and he's not even reacting to those kicks i mention .. does not even seem to notice it..
Thats why the student withdraw the kick before it reaches the stationary non-reacting foot of the old man as they do not want to spoil the demo ...
Off fucking course most if not all those students could easily overpower the old man, but that wasn't the exercise. The idea was to try to toss him just by pulling a perfect technique. So yeah, in that regard, the old dude was resisting and the students weren't, but it just shows that the guy is still in great fucking shape, and his technique is impeccable.
The students going hard would be like Iron Mike feeling good about himself because he pancaked Kevin Rooney's face in training. Off course he could do that if they fought, but that is not what Rooney was there for. He was there to make Mike's technique better each day, just like this old dude here.
👍👏❤
I’m not sure that he couldn’t have hurt a few of those guys just by striking in the right place tho
in short .... its just a demo of techniques video, not to be taken as real fights.
The old teacher is not even ranked as a top 10 judo competitor in history, he's only known for teaching techniques and developing new techniques without actually winning competitions at the highest level ... don't just look at wikipedia, there are articles stating that he lacks accolades but is a great teacher ....
Judo isn’t about “overpowering” so I don’t see what you’re on about
Dude, the old man lifted him! Even if the student was just giving in. That is still insane for an old dude to lift someone twice as heavy.
3:40 guy was nearly getting it
First guy looked like Norm McDonald lmaooo
I don't know much about judo for I have limited time training with it. I am more into Filipino martial arts. My grandfather taught me, and even at an advance age me and my dad can not even score against him. And we were not making it easy for him. Even in Dumog (wrestling). Unfortunately he passed away even before he shared all his knowledge about the art to us. I supplemented it by studying with other masters though.
After seeing this on JRE, all I had to type in the search box was 75 and "year old judo master" auto filled.

Unlike Steven Seagal demos, these students are trying to win.
No, they are not.

One of the most essential East Asian ideas is written on the banner on top of the wall, it translates to: “the essence is in training your heart.” The West believes in embracing and expressing ones ego, the East believes in managing it. Not suppressing, but managing, so the ego wouldn’t go nuts like a wild beast forever be at the mercy of circumstances.
The moves are real but it's obvious that the stronger, younger student aren't and shouldn't fight back beyond a slight bit of resistance. The old man is still master of the technique, but unfortunately his body is not able to take rigorous back and forth struggle. This should be obvious to all the people saying "fake" but unfortunately good sense is in short supply in our age.

There a very good example of a lighting fast move.

Technique of the highest order! 🤯🥋🔥
I love this video. The thing is, when your a big guy you get used to man handle your opponents in the dojo, because you compensate lack of skill with brute force. When your a small like Sensei Mifune, you have to do it right or you don't get to do it at all.
its unbelievable. hes even still alive . hes 168 years old. J/K. Impressive man. second time watching this video
He’s perfected reflexes, balance and center of gravity.
From watching this video I've realised that what a black belt represents is how good you are in being a demonstration partner. That's why everyone's got one
The great Mifune and the legendary Ueshiba were both using the same "thing", which is conveniently absent in both modern judo and aikido.
Thank you Joe
Every so often I'll watch a few demonstrations like these. I think it was largely inspired by seeing Seagal dispatch a bunch of youngsters in a way that made me think he is a master in the art of bullshit.
No bullshit from Mifune-san here though. A master.
when people tell me that little old martial arts masters aren't that scary, I show them this. I did a decade of martial arts training, and this dude scares the living shit out of me
I had to watch the move at 1:42 at lower speed, just to see what he was doing.
Basicaly, the youngling try a throw by lifting his left leg, the jedi... i mean judo (admit he look like a tall yoda), master make him lose his stance by pulling up his right elbow at the same time. The youngling body lose it's momentum due to the gravity center sudden change, Kyuzo-sensei just has to keep pulling a bit more, shifting the gravity point to the right side a bit more, student lose footing and fall.
Or i least i believe that's how it is.
I don't know much about Judo, but there were a couple moments in there where I could tell that the younger blackbelts were trying to throw Mifune, and he would just adjust his weight balance to one side, and maybe a little lower, and the student's leverage was suddenly not there. It's so subtle yet effective.

Look at how well the old master stands on the Bubbling Well cavities on his feet. In Taijiquan, the same principles are applied in Tui Shou and Suijiao wrestling.
7:32 wait... U can really do that with technique ? Crazy...
He's directly using his height against him here. Tall guy's point of leverage (crotch) is nearer to Mifune's aggressive points of leverage (grip/shoulders) and therefore faster/easier to grab + exploit. Mifune is the fulcrum and tall guy is a lever.
Physics
The utmost respect to Mr. Mifune, but every opponent is going easy on him out of respect. I realize that many of you knew that.
>but every opponent is going easy on him
look at the guy at 5:52 . He definitely didn't go easy on mr. Mifune

This seems very different from the Judo I used to see on tournaments, people used their strength, here it seems so casual and effortless. Of course it's not a real fight but this master picks up his students as if he was throwing a piece of paper, so easy.
Salute to Joe for bringing me here at 3am
obviously the students are being very respectful, its not a full on competition, but still you can see that the man has incredible balance and doesn't waste any movement.

>the students are being very respectful
some of them. But some of them definitely wanted to teach old man some lesson
It subtle but you can catch when he shifts weight, it's in the feet. This old man is awesome. I think he actually achieved perfect center. I'm pretty good at planting(used to be a bouncer and had to toss A LOT of guys who were bigger/faster/better trained than me out on their ass) but this master would have tossed me around like a rag doll.
