What are they shouting at the beginnign during the run?

[Judokkaa]

@antistyler I think it's "ich, ni" or one, two. Not sure though.

"Each member of our university team does 600 push-ups a day! Once in a while he does a thousand (1000)!!! This is unreasonable, we know that. But it pushes us beyond the physical limit, to another place!" 6:24 .... I really loved those words a lot! They made me feel so very eager to train!

[MrGreeknick]

The picture quality is amazing for the time it was filmed, and the script is poetic!!!

[UnworthyBaldHead]

Wow, beautiful documentary! Thanks for uploading!

[TheGreaterGood80]

Kimura is one tough-looking dude

[Brady2k10]

@TheGreaterGood80 well he was a tough guy, beat helio gracie the creator of brazilian jiu jitsu, he even broke his arm in the fight, but helio didnt tap out, because it hurt his pride so much to lose, but he lost and helios brother threw in the towel

[teslic100]

@Brady2k10 it is a judo documentary not bjj and bjj is the groundwork of judo

[Brady2k10]

@teslic100 yes i know its a judo documentary im not stupid and i know BJJ is on the ground and gets most of its stuff from Judo i know this.

[judopathoftruth]

@Brady2k10 BJJ comes from judo and im happy you realzie this, also judo is better

[sumoshinobi]

@judopathoftruth no judo is not better bjj is better at the ground game and judo is better at the stand up game nothing more nothing less

[tksmurf]

@judopathoftruth bjj comes from judo, the original judo with an emphasis on the ground game as helio gracie was physically weak when he fought and so instructed his students on a greater emphasis on submission and ground game, but bjj will always have a leg up(no pun intended) because it constantly adds moves, when kimura broke helio's arm the kimura lock was added into bjj curriculum so our submission and knowledge constantly evolves, if judo did the same it would be better.

[Judokkaa]

@tksmurf Actually Judo does do the same! Everything added to BJJ (with the exception of legs locks) pretty much gets added to Judo too, and vise versa. It's true many Judo clubs neglect ground work when they are more competition oriented, but many clubs like mine who aren't do a lot of ground work! We hold our own against high ranking Jiu jitsu guys regularly!

[tksmurf]

@Judokkaa and vice versa, i dont think judo is weak, i think that since judo is the father of bjj, bjj takes everything needed in judo, throws out the ones they dont need, and adds new things from other grappling martial arts, and techniques. i think judo was ingenious and a great evolution in martial arts and we owe judo a credit for giving us things like bjj and in effect emphasising the necessity of grappling in the fighting arts.

[Judokkaa]

@tksmurf What would you say has been thrown out? Well I suppose in some BJJ competitions they don't allow throws above the waist, but as for general training I have not heard of anything being taken out.

[tksmurf]

@Judokkaa pardon me your correct, but i would say that in my class certain throws are deemed unecessary. i mean if you look at a throw like seoi nage, it makes sense in judo drill but it's not looked at with reverence because its easy to take someones back when they do this throw.

[Judokkaa]

@tksmurf Yeah you're right there are a lot of throws that are dangerous and can easily put you in a bad ground work position, but those are the ones you avoid when you're fighting a guy who's better on the ground then you haha. On the other hand though some guys are good enough to make it work, several ufc fighters and jiujitsu guys use a drop seoi to great effect. But you're right it's pretty risky.
