One of my all time favorite!

Thanks for your feedback :)

Thanks :) Please check and comment on the rest of our videos as well :) Trying to build an opened ippon shobu forum here.

4-2, according to the result... Johan fought AMAZING all through this competition, Kokubun is LEGEND... wish I could have been there :)

He did not - the final goes until 2 ippons. ...but it was a crazy impressive start by him!!!

Hey Mark, thanks a lot for your comment. Not always easy to catch the moments through a video, believe me: they're fast :) Please check my new video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJenm7aJ1brbfXU.html

They are so fast... I've watched Japanese masters do 2-3 moves (mostly to show me and the dojo was wondering what was going on cause you almost never see a sensei do something at full speed) and it's incomprehensible. You can't train after seeing them especially the late Okazaki sensei who only did 1 move in front of me once over 3 years. I had to ask someone how good he was and he told me "you don't understand, I can't even explain it". Okazaki had a nephew who had taken 2nd place in the World Shoto Cup when I met him and I trained behind him - so stressful, cause I had to move so fast to avoid slowing him down:-) He was technically perfect. So I had a japanese master training in front of me all the time and when I saw his uncle do an oizuki, it was unbelievable. I can't explain it either.

I was being ironic ! I know exactly how fast they are having trained opposite many of them .

@@markwalker4142 My apologies... Yeah, they are so fast that they look like superheroes. Who have you trained with?

@@techsamurai11 I’ve trained with Kagawas university students . Alongside the likes of Sensei Naka , Shirai etc … I’ve been training since 1980. Their A to B speed is bread and butter stuff for them but there are none Japanese just as fast . Sensei Kato said I was very very fast in my youth . I was a good sprinter and rugby player before I began karate and moved fast anyway . The biggest thing is timing . Not how fast you move but when you move ! That’s where they excel technically. I fought the Teikyo university students in 1990 on a course in York Uk . Very sharpe boys . It’s wasn’t semi contact !
