Highlights from the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games as the Netherlands' Antonius Geesink wins the first gold medal in the judo open competition.
Geesink was an imposing figure who stood at 1.98m. He won his first World Championship title in 1961. This was the 1st time the title had been won by a participant from outside Japan. [More...]
At the 1964 Tokyo Games, the host nation was expected to sweep all four weight classes. The Japanese promptly won the first three. But the giant Dutchman defeated Japanese national champion Kaminaga Akio in convincing fashion to claim the gold medal in the open class.
To celebrate his victory, Geesink's teammates rushed onto the tatami to hoist him on their shoulders. But Geesink quickly dismissed them with a gesture of his arm. Before joining his teammates in celebration, he first bowed to Kaminaga, acknowledging his opponent. This courtesy left the 15,000 spectators in awe.
In 1965, Geesink won another World Championship, this time in the heavyweight category. Two years later, he was presented with the 10th Dan, a distinction very rarely given to a judoka.

Anton traind me a half year when i was 7 years off age,one off the most gentle and kind men i encounterd in my life. I will never forget him, pure honesty and kindness. R.I.P. Anton
What a privilege. I’m a huge fan.
The fact that Kaminaga was able to smile shows he has a big heart!
Nope. It is Japanese tradition.
I love the old school rules.. red vs white... 30 second pin time... no stalling penalties...lots of grip fighting... very cool!
at the end of the match he made the stop sign to prevent friends enter the tatami. Because that happend in Paris during the World Final. He hated that. respect all over!!
well spotted
Anton Geesink was a legend, a Dutch Judo icon. In 1961, he became the fist world champion from outside Japan and 3 years later he climbed the olympic mountain. One of the biggest names in the sport and certainly the best we ever had. Rust zacht, meneer Geesink.
+Michael Temming
A true champion.
Interesting, though, that Geesink seemed to never want to fight with Jon Bluming, and might have had a hand in keeping Bluming out of the Dutch judo squad.
Utreg
Utreg me staaaadsie
@@MagicMushroom1971 ofnietdan
at the end (2:16) Anton's trainers want to rush onto the ring, but he actually tells them to wait till they finished the match with respect. really cool to see!
+SolidSnake1284 no...the reason he did that is because that is the judo tradition. similar to other japanese martial arts.
@@Raigaara Isn't that what Lars wrote?
@@TristanWeijermars what a blast from the past I don't even remember why I wrote that comment lol. You're probably right looking at it 3 years later it does seem to be what he said. Granted his trainers should have known better than to rush the ring if they had good judo manners but I digress.
It was the Dutch boxer Wim Gerlach who wanted to celebrate, so it wasn't a trainer or teammate.
Its very famous episode in japan too.
ヘーシンクは柔道の精神を持っていた尊敬すべき柔道家です。
勝った瞬間、関係者（コーチかな？）が駆け寄ろうとすると「待った、来るな！」と手で止めている。映像の一部にも出ている。
今の柔道は世界的になった反面スポーツになってしまって「精神」は忘れ去られている。
勝った瞬間飛んだり跳ねたり、実になげかわしいことです。
礼に始まり礼に終わる。互礼が終わるまで終わっていないのが武道です。
+kotohime7henge あなたが正しいです。しかし、私はオリンピック柔道はそれが今日であるように広範囲になるために道を開いたと思います。実際には、本物の柔道は勝ち負けではありません。個人的に歴史的に、私は柔道は明治時代の魂だと思う、それは江戸時代からの武道の真の本質を継承しています。
それは本当です
Groot sportman en mens.samen met Ruska veel betekend voor judo,zij hebben het judo internationaal gemaakt.
Great sportsmanship from these two great warriors.
I was 10 y, when Olympic game Tokyo with fantastic holland fighter in judo on B/W TV I was watch him My memory Tising name . Today Bingo , founded him Anton Teesing !!! Thanks Y. T.
In 1960 the slow motion movie (on film) was a new invention. Of course the japanese trainers had taken a lot of such movies, but it did not help. Geesink won quickly. I watched the fight on television
in real time at a railroad station and I missed the last train.
Geesink trained hard for this competition. He trained so hard to beat japan. He also won the 1961's world championchip and he was one of the greatest judoka at this moment even if he was not japanese.
but he really was number one in the world, because he won this match
ヘーシンク選手の武士道精神は日本の伝説になり尊敬しています。 オランダの英雄に敬礼。
I met Haku Michigami in 1963 with my teacher Kenshiro Abbe Sensei, who travelled with him for these games in 1964. I was told K Abbe asked to meet Kaminaga to advise him how to defend against AG technique, Kaminaga refused the offer.

Amazing Anton Geesink I had the honor to fight with him, I lost of course ,but I had fun!!
Anton and Kaminaga was a legend; live 4ever.
I think this fight qualifies for the term "Epic". Probably the one match that pretty much put the direction for Judo to become what it is today. In good and bad. A
The look of dismay on the faces of the elderly Japanese masters when they realised their boy was losing.
This is really beautiful and cinematic
It's not a shame to lose to a worthy opponent but a honor.
BRAVO TO BOTH.
Both world class.
You can only be world class in order to beat a world class judoka.
you are true! Thank you for answer!
Kaminaga was so happy!
ONE OF MY IDOLS
But it’s still nice seeing old footage 64 when I was born very cool
My Idol RIP Anton❤
Video splendido grazie
Legend
Epic and both great judoka's.
Classy, both of them.
one of my idols
Exactly!
El judo será espectacular, pero la fuerza es un tema muy importante. Aquí quedó demostrado que un judoca más grande vence a otro más pequeño
it was legendary bout! respect for Geesink and Kaminaga! i heard a story if Kaminaga would win the game JUDO would be withdraw from the olympics!
As a kid I practiced judo at a club called Mayo Jama (roughly translated to big mountain).
The person Geesink send away from the tatami was not a teammate or trainer. They know the rules. It was a Dutch official that was a little overenthousiast and wanted to enter the tatami. Geesink didn't like that and send him away.
It was the Dutch boxer Wim Gerlach who wanted to celebrate, so it wasn't a trainer or teammate.
Anton knew judo, he understood that judo is more than technique and winning. He had adapted the japanese spirit. Judo is more than a sport, it is an attitude in life as well. I feel his opponent probably felt that coming from Anton as well, after his defeat. My dutch judo teacher was very strict with the rules and the mentality of the sport. It was basically all about protocol and respect to begin with, and discipline. Then came the technique.
Does anybody have the footage of the Heavyweight final between Isao Inokuma and
Doug Rogers????I would love to see it.
Classic.
There is a general rule of thumb we go by, which is first comes technique, speed and then strenght(weight usualy meaning strenght in the pro athlete world)
Anyways these three aspects can all be trained, and one who has great skill can easily beat a heavier judoka, while the lesser skilled judoka can easily beat a non judoka.
Toshihiko Koga is a perfect example: at -71 kg he got to the final in the all japan championship open division, losing only to the 120kg world champion.
Anyone else here after the Gordon Ryan episode of JRE ?
The Japanese were I'm consoleable when they lost d heavyweight final they thought they were invincible n Jodo😂🎉😂🎉😂🎉😂🎉🎉😂🎉
I agree no matter how good you are if you do not have weight which it goes with your whole dimension you will lost one who is as good as you and have the weight and dimension. If you are 5'4' and medium build try to bridge one who is 5'8" and heavy.
this guy is 2 meters tall, you dont wish anyone to have to fight him
Geesink was very skillful as well as a huge man, but notice at 1.24 he would have been disqualified under today's stupid rules when he takes a leg to take Kaminaga down. Great fight and an uncommonl sight at the end with the Aussie flag in third place.
They are destroying Judo as a martial art and making a frankenstein sport.
As a kid I practiced judo , I never understood why you could get a penalty for not attacking, it is a defensive sports.
Are you related to *the* Andrew Fleming?
Falling Hard by Mark Law brought me here.
Por primera vez Japón pierde la hegemonía en el Judo, en manos del holandes Anton Geesink !
weet iemand waarom op het einde er een duitse vlag met het olypische logo erop staat?
deze hangt rechts van de andere 3 vlaggen
Anyone know why they would hold both hands in the air before the match?
Of course it's fair, it's an open weight. The Japanese fighter had a choice whether to enter it or not. Much like boxing heavyweights, the bigger more athletic fighter has now taken over. It can be a shame to see but, it's how it goes.
commentator said in judo the weight is not so important! its not true, geesink won because 1:20-1:30 Kaminaga was anable to put on the ground Geesink because off his big weight!
Geesing had 108 kilos, and Kaminaga had 102. This is not a very big difference.
@@zarko746 I think Geesink was quite a bit bigger than that. Anyway; in the old Judo weight was not as important as it was supposed to be a sport in which a smaller eprson could win against larger opponents.
Don't they have weight divisions in judo?
It all comes down to who’s got the worst BO
Size does matter, no?
in martial arts? people will tell you different.
its all about thinking fast and being cunning ;)
Size absolutely matters in Judo. It's not everything, but it definitely helps.
svennie pennie I know this is old but the whole point of judo is for a smaller opponent to take down a bigger opponent. The creator of judo was small and weak, but with judo he was able to take out much bigger people
@@bikrambal791 You're right. But when both fighers are judo specialists, size matters.
Narrator : "Skill is what maters in Judo"
Real life match : Big guy sit on little guy and win
ヘーシンクが強かった理由は体格よりも努力だと思うよ。日本の選手に勝つために長年猛練習し、きついトレーニングにも耐えたわけだからね。そして1961年の世界選手権で優勝してからは誰もヘーシンクには勝てないだろうと言われた。神永さんはきつい役回りだったんだよね。
처음부터 체격과 체중을 이용하여 누르기 기술을 쓰려고 작정하고 나왔군요.
일본 선수의 메치기가 들어올 것을 예상한 되치기 --> 신체적 우위를 이용한 누르기
look at the japanese audience faces: full of anger & sorrow
I think you are referring to one old man. His is none but Kyuzo Mifune (10-Dan) the grestest Judo legend in history.
Why do they use blue kimonos now?
Blue judogi are used to make distinguishing judoka from one another easier for judges (and everyone watching). One judoka wears a blue judogi and the other will typically be white.
@@bigteees Is it really hard to confuse sashes on international level?
Correct, one in white and one in blue makes it easier to distinguish the judokas from one another: this rule was BTW proposed by Anton Geesink
so there was ground work in Judo what happened?
There was massive ground work back then. As far as I can tell, the Olympic Committee decided it was too boring for spectators and changed the rules for them, not the competitors. Too bad, it neutered Judo and then MMA took its place as a combat sport.
Toen was Ned al de best.
0:28 This kind of close-up footage is pretty cr@p.
who know the martial art history know that Jon Bluming was the second real killer in Judo at this time! If my knowledge is good he lost the competition against Geesink before the Olympic games and Geesink could travel to Japan! iam not sure, but i heard something! The most important is that now i started training Judo, after training 2-3 gojuryu karate and kick-boxing! I did one month krav-maga, but is expensive and very poor defence system!
No. Bluming never lost to Geesink. Dutch Judo Federation did not permit Bluming to compete. In Kodokan Bluming defeated many Japanese fighters.
cause of in every category would be a japanese winner!
Olympics destroyed judo
no entendi ni verga... pero weno
They should have finishes on the ground I wish they didn’t break it all apart I should keep judo Street together as much as possible on the mat not just some pin same with American wrestling enough of this boring bologna where is the reality and the practicality along with the beauty and the gentleman need to all go together
there was a rumour that Anton came close to Killing thé Japanese fellow with that set….but we Don't really see it here….see my bestseller: Winter in Canada….on this
So un fair
Wow look at how you guys ruined the Martial Art
That's not judo and hardly even wrestling. Just use weight to stop his opponent moving is rubbish.
