Hes a bad dude. Yoshida is tough

Here’s an interesting find. You should be at an absolute disadvantage when you are the only one wearing a gi in this type of comp. Watch it until the end.

I didn’t think the kesa was on at the end.

Yes, it was on. I would suggest you watch it again.

He applied the armlock immediately after he held him with a textbook kesa. That’s why the other guy was unable to turn him over when he tried.

OK Ill take another look.
