Great Job. Been living in U.S. for almost 10years now. I remeber when I was in Iran they were calling Mr. Sarikhani "3seconds" and every time he had a match people were counting to 3. Great Judoka.

Thank you for sharing that story. I uploaded a fight specially for you. It's the final of this same tournament where I think Sarikhani lives up to his reputation as "Mr. 3 seconds".

I don't know if this is entirely accurate, but to me that seems like a clever way around the ban on kami-basami. The principle seems similar.

Acctually Jujutsu is the source, Judo come from it, and BJJ come from Judo

@KMSSMK was thinking the exact same thing when I saw it. I saw him dart that leg across and was thinking to myself "hansonumake" and then saw the ref's hand go straight up and and I went WTF?

The entirety of your comment is pure ignorance and denial.

[bwalker077]

The 1st half of your comment is pure idiocy

Never play one-handed judo!

This is not Kani Basami. Kani Basami uses both legs, one in front and one behind in a scissor motion. This throw only uses one leg and rather than a scissor motion he is just isolating the leg before using the hand to finalise the technique. I would be keen to learn the name of this throw if anyone knows it though!

Not until around 1983.

The ground ability in an average, even expert, judo fighter is subpar compared to even the most untalented average Jiu-Jitsu fighter. The moves don't all come down from a single omni-inclusive source, the sports evolve with time within their own set of rules.

What do you mean by "improved?" There is nothing new in BJJ in fact they don't do the stand up part so you could actually say its watered down Judo.

Remember that Heilo get his ass handed to him by Kimura.

Oh, is it?
