Saw this on the net and i just had to put it in here. Unfortunatly it's in japanese but it's still nice to watch.

I had a bit of trouble in the beggining of the clip, if it happens to you as well just fastforward a little and it will stop.

Excellent clip! Mifune's amazing. Thanks for that. :asian:

I have one of his books, it's called The Canon of Judo and it's the best pratical martial arts book i have ever seen. It covers so much from throws, immobilisation, joint locks, strangulation, all done with hundreds of pictures and tons of advices. And what i like most about the book is that afterwards it teaches us to counter a lot of those technics. I don't know much about Mifune but when it comes to grappling he seemed to be elite, so i just had to post it.

Mifune was long referred to as the God of Judo. Thank you for the clip.

Mifune is a Judo God. It was a GREAT find. Thanks again. :asian:

Edit: Crap. Looks like Frank beat me to the punch this time.

Mifune is sometimes considered the greatest martial artist, ever...with good reason, I have a few videos of him and it still boggles my mind when I see him moving...

It's a good clip, isn't it? There's a few other judo clips in the same link (one of them also by Mifune) even has judo self defense aplications, but i'll try to find more.
