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.
Straight armlock, kimura and even switching to an arm triangle with your wrist bone versus bicep are brutal kesa submissions.
One of my coaches is a 6’1 275lb former USSR national judo champ. Guy made me tap from the kesa. I used to think only pussies would tap from that until I felt he was going to legit snap me in half from it.
My instructor is like that. He could make you tap from Kesa and isn’t a big guy. He just knows how to use pressure.
