Hi, this is Shady. Today we're going back to the 1990s. We're gonna see just how brutal the judo used to be a few decades ago, but still 1990s is still far safer than the 1970s or say 1920s. You're gonna see far less rules, you're gonna see far more options and hence why it was absolutely crippling. You're gonna see a lot of the stuff that today are simply not there anymore and they passed as nothing during the fight. So going back to the finals of the 1994, all Japan between Konno and Yoshida, and here the first example is a Sizur takedown or Kani Basami by Konno. If you don't know this takedown can easily shatter your knees and cripple you and simply end your career. So I don't know why it is still available in Sombu and even Jiu Jitsu, but in judo simply it's not the case and for a very good reason the explosive nature of judo. Just imagine here in open weight category a far larger man goes with this takedown on you. It's kind of completely destroyed you, but in the past in Japan it stayed far longer legal than in the international stage I believe. Here for example the 96 Olympics I believe this is Kaitawi and she was eliminated due to this takedown. Again it's not surprising to see just how devastating on the knee this takedown is and for a very good reason it is bent. Now here next Konno goes for a standing waki gata me almost shatters the arm. Again not eliminated no Han So Kumake nothing because I believe from what I understand is that in the past you could do it standing but if you dive to the ground then yes it would be dangerous. Let's take a look here at another angle. I believe his elbow locked around this point you can see his shoulder almost popped to the front. Now waki gata me could be done standing up. I believe back then it was legal to do it this way during the fight. Now understanding you cannot lock anything. You have to take it to the ground and from there you act and lock the elbow or the shoulder. For example here I saw a side door against Shou. The way he dives on him that I believe would be illegal but back in the past 80s and 70s from what the older generation told me is that when you take only one arm and not two on the arm grabbing it then it still be illegal if you go down like this but still if it's under the armpit it's under the armpit it doesn't matter one arm or two arms holding it. So here for example this is a great transition because of Uchiimata finishes immediately with waki gata me. Now that was a brilliant but still dangerous nonetheless but I would even today it would be allowed. Now let's check out an actual elimination due to this so just dives in to this no option to tap out. Note option to submit and just shatters the arm and the referees got together and they decided that it is a han sokumaki and he lost the fight and logically it's logical. So again just absolutely shatters the arm. Now here almost gets pinned and watch how konno pushes on the head and Yoshida gets aggravated and gets a stare down. It's better than the 2012 stare down so here pushes him, kicks him with a lot of force after that dirty push on the head and they stare down at each other again remember this is the finals. This was better than the 2012 Olympic and the semi finals between bishof and stevens. You see them here. Everyone remembers this moment but in 1994 it happened with formal intensity. So now here Yoshida goes for kanywasami brilliant spin out of this scissor take down by konno look at how he will take select around and uses his arm to almost cartwheel around Yoshida's body and gets behind him. This is brilliant. Now here again just now these were not the only attacks but I showed the most brutal ones and finally konno wins by decision and Yoshida is absolutely devastated and again this is a fight to remember everyone remembers this fight they hit each other with everything almost tried to cripple each other and back then it was legal so just so you know how crippling a judo used to be and this is just the 1990s so many of these of this generation still fights still do randori and everything and you can still talk to them they're still relatively young and look how judo used to be now there's just a lot of hansoku maki and a lot of them I understand them like kanywasami and the diving on the elbow immediately of course I get it but you know just look at how it used to be again leg grabs for me it should be a thing because there's no risk involved compared to what this proposes but the whole thing with the leg grab and wrestling and it's just it makes no sense from a you know filling up the seats standpoint and also just to for safety reasons it makes no sense look at how many kanywasami he tries to hurt him with and i'm surprised he walked out of there intact so again just to show you the old judo and how it used to be again it's just absolutely insane so if you have anything else to add please let me know down below consider supporting your patreon for exclusive content and as always this was shady and thank you for listening
