Guest bio: Neil Adams is a judo world champion, 2-time Olympic silver medalist, 5-time European champion, and often referred to as the Voice of Judo.
He’s talking about how much it takes to get to the level he got to. He won silver twice at the Olympics and often talks about how devastating it was for him to accept second best. Completely obsessed but brilliant.
As a life long Judo player I definitely enjoyed this interview. Great underrated sport. I started at the age of 12 in Brooklyn NY with Kiyoshi Shiina. I remember reading Neil Adam’s book (A Life In Judo). Many years ago.
As a life long player,you must have many surgeries
I trained and competed in Japan. Made the best of friends and had a blast.
That’s my dream
@@Osprey3109 if you’re a native English speaker you can teach English and make a living wage there. Some companies don’t require teaching credentials. You can also teach privately and find students on websites.
Most Japanese athletes start really young like 7,8 years. From 13 they train daily as a club member in school. it’s just time they put in…
Neil Adams is a judo legend. I enjoyed this podcast and your interview of Mr. Adams was both of interest and entertaining.
Anyone diss’ing Neil Adams clearly has no idea who he was and what respect he earned in the judo world. In the martial arts world actually. Amazing history.
Neil adams is a trash can.
Kashiwazaki’s book “Fighting Judo” is almost as much a psychology book as it is a judo instructional book. A true work of art!
The Gentleman himself.
I saw you at an international German championship - some 40 years ago. You didn't even have to fix your gi. ❤
I would like to see leg grabs back in judo. BJJ does it, wrestlers does it. I just works and adds to the skill pool.
It definitely works. However it makes the sport worse. Leg grabs promote a non upright posture (which by the way is arguably bad for self defence) which makes it very difficult to throw and makes Judo a more defensive sport which is not what the IJF want. I think they maybe could have found another solution than outright banning leg grabs but generally the sport is more enjoyable now.
@@paulstarstarpaul5700 good points.
You can try Judo tournaments that apply Kosen Judo or try Judo that allow leg grab
Thats why i never started training Judo, stupid limitations.
@@tominatorrix even without leg grabs you have decades to learn IT all. And it works great with BJJ
Neil Adams is the best Judo commentator ever !!
Beautiful! Thank you!
Problem with judo is the knee injuries. It’s guaranteed if you pursue this sport any further than a basic level, you will need knee surgery, and likely multiple times. The twisting motion just isn’t natural against a resisting opponent
My worst injury of all time was off of a failed Osoto Gari
20 years of judo, never had any problems with knees. If you're twisting in a way that's hurting your knees, maybe your technique isn't all that proper.
@@haskewjiujitsu8758 I partnered with a day 1 white belt that had at least 40lbs over me. He tore my MCL with an Osoto Gari during randori
We didn't hear much about why Judo is "dangerous" in Japan, instead we got reminded how great he is, and this is from someone who used to be a fan.
I would have loved to hear his take on the IJF destruction of Judo, and whether there should be a new federation reinstating the rules before 1990.
The IJF is destroying judo? That's delusional
@@jacobarrowood3587 We can agree to disagree, and that's perfectly fine.
@@jacobarrowood3587 I do not respect many of the rule changes made by the IJF to the rules of internaional sport Judo. I understand the rationale of why changes were made but I still don't agree with them. Half of the sport of Judo has been outlawed meaning a significantly restricted sport experience.
Yes would be great.
@@jacobarrowood3587how much is the ijf paying you to kiss up 😂😂
Trained in Kokushikan, Aoyama and Komazawa Uni in the 90's. Was 17. Scary but kept going. Great times.
I wish he gave more details. Didn’t even say where he trained outside of the police
I'm about to do the same thing
Kokushikan is a good place to train, did highschool all the way to university. Definitely a good place/ people scraps and mindset. Budo is also good, but not as intense (more social - if your goals is winning slams )
@@liamyoko Yea I have a friend at Kokushikan uni it looks pretty tough
My best friend teaches me judo. Hes a kodakan trained black belt. Training withbhim and training with american trained judoka is waaaay different. When i get thrown by him i feel nothing i just get thrown. When i train an american fighter they seem to be about nothing but force. Really weird to say but judoka will get it.
Imagine the Japanese fellow in the highlights with a tanto and armour..his is using actual warrior battle feild judo, controling the opponents possible armed opposing limb...getting to top pinning and thrusting (tanto) positions. 🙌🙌
Almost no samurai did judo.
@@olleolausson no?
@@LionAstrology Or did I understand wrong?
@@olleolausson yea judu comes from, jujutsu...which was a term created.. in short almost all modern Japanese sport martial arts come from Samurai arts. sometimes you see more original styles less adapted to sport. In Japan some schools still teach more traditional fundamentals.
Battlefield judo existed as medieval Jujutsu.
If I watched that 1981 footage without knowing who it was, I'd have thought it was Lex. Simplicity, directness, freedom.
Love Neil Adams. What a legend! The Japanese revered him.
Not a single japanese revered him
Neil is brilliant
Thank u
Neil Adams is great.
Tell David McFall Hello
Forget cauliflower ears, look at dudes hands…
Brilliant peek behind the curtain
Ask rickson how good Neil is
I know internet is fake af when I see stuff like this
IJF judo is DANGEROUS because they want to please the television executives however the worst mistake they made was Banning leg holds because they were afraid of wrestlers.. damn bro lay off the wine, its JUDO time
yea making olympic team in Japan is supposedly much harder than winning a gold medal in the Olympics
Wouldn’t the Judo technique be useless without the uniforms?
There’s “no-gi” judo techniques but it starts to look like wrestling to me
You think about 'self defense'???
Who is running around naked?
Every simple foot sweep works - on concrete Judo is deadly.
That’s like saying “you can’t grab a human when their clothes are off”! 😂
Today i landed a perfect harai goshi followed by a ude gatame in a no gi class.
The dude was a bjj purple belt and judo black belt.
I'm a judo green belt and bjj white belt.
So, no... not useless.
@@JudoHighlights2015wow even you are here 😮
Lex your Russian how are you not into Sambo more than anything else it has strong ties to Judo. Let’s see some Sambo content👍😎
They like judo more than sambo in Russia. The best grapplers in Russia become Olympic judoka, then Olympic Greco Roman then Olympic freestyle wrestlers then sambists
Everybody’s got a plan until they get punched in the face - Mike Tyson
Judo Is Easy! It’s NOT The Throw That Hurts….. HAJIME
After 40 years practicing judo. No - not easy. 😂
After 5 years you can almost nothing.
As khabib said if judo was easy it would be called bjj.
🤣😂🤣😂@@olleolausson
Judo 🥋 Is Such A Gentle Sport
Muneta is One Of My All Time Super Judo 🥋 Hero’s 🦸🏻♂ Now That Would Be An Interview. I think he only works out in police dojos now!
"IJF" judo is UNMARKETABLE in the USA because of its hyper focus on massive throws and pure hatred for groundwork.
You have to watch judo to talk about it. Ground work is absolutely emphasized and an important part of current, competitive judo.
@@fp8901 is that why they stand them up in -5 seconds?
No, absolutely NOTHING to do with that...
Judo doesn't work in the USA because USA people are too lazy to learn another language and another culture.
If BJJ was mandatory to learn Portuguese to train like it is mandatory to learn Japanese, BJJ would NEVER have been successful in the USA.
Gets ask what is it like to train in Japan, starts bragging about winning European championships.
Just because you can't follow the point of his story doesn't mean he didn't address it.
He talks about how he needed to be reminded of the 'fear' and that training Japan gave it to him. Without a challenge to your skill, you become complacent and overconfident.
If you couldn't parse the story, that's on you not him.
This guy clearly an ego maniac.
@@CyberneticArgumentCreator that was no doubt necessary to talk about what training in japan is like, of course my guy of course. Definitely needed to say he wasn’t scored on for this long and so on.
@@user-xb5yw5ph3n The idea of an egomaniac doesn't even scratch the surface. Adams is more like the Terminator with the will of a god. An absolute savage!
Did you even watch the clip? He told how he cried in trainings when he was just 16 etc. This man endured so serious stuff to become legend he is. And he doesnt even brag. IMO he was very modest regarding his accomplishments..
Newly arrived in Hong Kong, martial arts instructor Ip Man (Donnie Yen) encounters stiff opposition when he begins teaching the Wing Chun fighting style. But instead of bowing to his rivals' demands, he perseveres and retaliates with amazing speed and power. Inspired by Ip Man's life story, this martial arts sequel boasts impressive fight sequences and co-stars Lynn Hung, Simon Yam and Sammo Hung.
jesse what the f are you talking about
What have you been smoking 😂
like all great warriors. slightly mad... you have to be
