HT has DN's back with a grapevine - DN rotates to his back and pulls half guard - HT somersaults forward for a toe hold or calf grinder - DN rocks back and swivels to an armbar.
There is a debate out there as to whether or not this kind of jiu-jitsu is riskier than BJJ - but it's certainly not less interesting - you can't even get this kind of acrobatics in the movies.
if only Tokoro was a little bigger. this fight was really a lightweight vs a featherweight. Still a really good fight. Man I love both these guys similar never say die attitude
@karoolta Tokoro's been 143 for most of his career; remember, he came out of ZST, where the grappling GP is exclusively featherweight and where the majority of competitors are featherweight.
Beautiful display of japanese style catch wrestling/shoot wrestling. There is a vid on youtube of Hideo Tokoro and mentor Maeda doing Karl Gotch's workout.

Everytime I see a dude in pancrase style shin pads I always expect technical grappling and pro wrestling moves. Idea has never disappointed me yet.

That's interesting, the guy countered the twister with an arm bar. Definitely the first time I've ever seen that.

I like how the song says, "You will be consumed by your own fire" right as Tokoro gets reversed at 2:40 xD I just thought that was kinda cool lol

@karoolta Actually, Nakamura has been a welterweight for most of his career, though he's more of a 155'er size-wise, probably.

Diasuke is such a warrior. Even if he doesn't win he puts on a good fight and is always trying to finish the fight.
Awesome vid.
