[TheClockworm]

[narnia5k]

Man, he does everything just perfect..

[TheBike98]

Awsome

[SuperSneakySteve]

Was that John Stossel?

[Ja1MeJuDo]

@PankrationWarrior And horrible moustache hahaha

[MrUltrasound]

just pain in the hand

[SupremeCommanderSil]

Ik wens dat ik kan als u kampen. Vielleicht ga ik naar Nederland volgende jaar, dan kan ik beter oefenen. (Ik kom uit Australië en judo is echt kein hier! 'T geeft vaak niemand m'n gewicht of zwaarder. 'T is 'n grote problem voor mij, hoor!)

Ik verlies altijd, maar ik zal nooit stoppen! (Ik heb slechts 2 strijden en dus 'n klein wedstrijd gewonnen. Ik heb sinds 2008 gelernt... eh, I heb in 2007 uit 'n boekje gelernt.).

[albate]

Crisp as hell

[goodfellas63]

Jezus jij bent echt goed, doe je dit jaar ook de zomer spelen?

[Spanishade]

damn the other guy should be in pain

[Fenstor]

@Spanishade I rather doubt it. Huizinga is partly to blame for his partner not being hurt. He lets his uke free right when i touches the ground so the guy who gets thrown around can direct the energy from the fall. Thats also why he gets up with the same pace as he goes down. So no he's not really hurt.

[SupremeCommanderSil]

@Spanishade

I have been the uke for a Japanese black belt who is Australian champion and take it from me, it doesn't hurt! Just brakefall.... Or even not! Because the tori is so highly skilled, the landing, no matter what speed, isn't so bad.

[SupremeCommanderSil]

@SupremeCommanderSil

Then again, I was under 65 kg (now 75) and I was thrown by a well over 120 kg muscular self-defence instructor (a judo brown belt) (a Dutch guy) and smashed my head on a chair (accidentally) in a demonstration at full speed and force and I got up instantly for the next throw... so maybe it's just me :P. (And this uke)

[AikikaiAikido]

Why is he stopping every time?

[HannoBeeldGeluid]

Uchi Komi, it means that you only make the move without throwing. The second time he throws.

[SupremeCommanderSil]

@AikikaiAikido

Because it's hard work :/.

But in Aikido, that doesn't exist :D. (Well, other than training, but the throws are... ermm.. well..)

[702decatur]

Nitai dai university players are all good its not a wonder that the uke is good.

[jfthrash]

that uke is a badass

[WarJudoka]

Nice, very crisp.

[basedeal]

the guy in the white gi looks like his butt went to sleep from all those throws lol

[numberJ5]

[greentrigger]

I am thinking of taking up judo - I also do kickboxing. Should I?

[doeiffeo]

judo wil fuck up kickkboxing^^

no seriously judo is so much bette rthan boxing styles...

watching mma most of the time the fiht is finished on the ground....

[greentrigger]

They will get kicked in the face if they charge for you.

[doeiffeo]

no^^

obviosly not^^

many succesfull judokas have a high winning rekord in mma:P

[greentrigger]

Against other MMA fighters..

[doeiffeo]

okay....

but look....there are many guys woh like to kick up faces cause they ve god kickboxingsyles background....

and however

if you do kickboxing and pratice judo besides your fighting stile will improve alot....

[greentrigger]

I just have to find out where they teach judo in my town then XD

[Lebel92]

If you kick at an experienced Judoka they'll have you on the ground and the fight will be over if you don't know anything about ground techniques. But, yes, you should definitely pick up Judo though, you'll be twice as good of a fighter with that combination.

[mjantube]

Absolutely!

[bballfool24]

^^^

yuppp

good idea

they go really good together

[lbedi]

and when you get you back taken, turtle for dear life waiting for the ref to shout "MATTE!!!"

[samtrongal]

too right!! lol well thats what i do .. hemm... lol

[CorneliusVaro]

Great athlet, even when he is exhausted at the end his throws are still perfectly executed!

[M90Hun]

Best judoka ever...I want to be his uke...! I want to study from Mark!!!

[CorneliusVaro]

I would rather be his Uke than Uke of any beginner. His throws are perfect, so you fall down the right way without pain. My experiences are that a skilled Tori lowers the pain very much!

[Yurie1337]

A skilled Uke lowers the pain aswell :P

[seektheforce]

Naaaah

[oneeyemonster]

awesome

[juikm]

wouldnt b his uke for any money!

[evonschtolz]

I would pay to be his uke - can learn some.

[RedArtic]

i do something like this myself, its extremely tiring.

[TAIOTOSH00]

GREAT JOB MARK

[MintedStereo]

[hosozoku]
