Kosen Judo

Watched this clip a while ago and a certain move caught my eye which we'll have a crack at on Saturday. Something I've seen before on a Jacare DVD me thinks. Also there is something about being 70 and still being in Gi that really appeals to me, maybe its the stick you get to carry around like Hirata Sensei. Kosen Judo translates as "Grappling Judo" where the emphasis is on ground techniques and less fancy throws and is the forefather of modern BJJ. The similarities are striking when you watch these Japanese old-timers teach triangle chokes and the like. I think the Gracie family gets far too much credit for this stuff thats been around for a long time. It all just goes through cycles.
