Kyuzo Mifune (April 21, 1883 – January 27, 1965) has been categorized as one of the greatest exponents of the art of judo after the founder.
By using timing and speed, Mifune quickly gained a reputation, and was never defeated at the annual Red and White Kodokan tournaments. He was already being called the “God of Judo.“
This man was 5ft 2. and weighed 100 lbs. He was challenged at the age 40 by a Sumo Wrestler who was 6ft 2 inches tall and weighed 240lbs. He slammed the wrestler with his trade mark “airplane” throw “kuki nage”.
You can easily see that this man was great!
Watch his movements during his instuction and during “randori” which is the equivalent of free sparring in Judo. This man is in his mid seventies in these videos. Wow!!!
He’s actually applying the concept of using once force or energy against them!
Your thoughts?
This is really inspiring, I can’t wait to learn this stuff!
Cool stuff. For a 75 year old guy to be throwing younger dudes around is amazing.
