The raw honesty and introspection in this is touching in the right way. No overblown emotionalism or contrived sob stories, just a man baring is soul without complaint or embellishment.

[@robwalsh9843]

I agree. It has a "slice of life" perspective. No need for being melodramatic.

[@Tonytengosuerte]

I come back to this video a few times a year, and got me through my toughest training period.

RIP Doug Rogers and Great sensei Masahiko Kimura.

[@seanh44]

Brilliant insight into a time of Judo and Martial Arts lost with time. Can’t help thinking Doug sounds a lot like Clint Eastwood in this too! 😂. RIP Doug, exceptional Judoka and Kimura who was simply the judo GOAT.

He also looks so much like Val Kilmer I think…

Followed a link from Greg’s Airplanes video on the Ki84, he briefly spoke about master Kimura. All this while doing some light woodwork with a Japanese saw, a moment of serendipity.
Soooo glad.

"As you become more and more skillful, the desire to act big and tough sort of works the other way."
Ain't that the truth.

[@devriestown]

Kimura SO COOL.
He's so blessed to train with him.
OSSSS👏🥇🤼‍♂️

The audio is in serious need of being re-adjusted. All the same, thanks for putting up more about the Great Masahiko Kimura. One of the greatest grapplers there ever will be.
