It is threads like these, that make mma.tv, the champ!
The Great One has spoken and im a little pissed that the flying armbar hasn't been named after TJ or at least give a little recognition to the creator of the move himself because clearly our boy was doing flying armbars while most of us were in diapers.
You know, I actually don't like that video..I was a dick..I got frustrated that he wouldn't tap when I caught him with this move or that move, so, at the end there, I broke that guys arm.
He didn't tap..I just snapped it and walked away.
Dick move on my part..I had to have been ahead by 20 points or more...There was no reason for me to do that.

Yeah that's probably not a good memory after a few years of growing up, but i honestly thought you looked athletic in that vid.
Athletic..But there were alot of subtle nuances in the game I hadn't a firm grasp on. I think a major goal of a Judoka should be to not have to rely on athletisicm. Nor to even need it..
As I get older, I see a lot of things differently.
That's funny you say that because when me and a buddy was talking about Ishii i was talking about how he doesn't seem to be all that athletic and i was told athleticism does not mean that much when it comes to Judo and a person will most likely get better as they get older because of the knowlwedge needed rather than athleticism or strength. is that how it is with you? your better now than when you were younger, stronger etc?
I guess that depends on what you mean by "better"..Is it better to win with athleticism or skill? A win is a win, really..However, bodies fade and at some point the mind must be farmed out for it's ability to make up for it.
i guess what i mean by "better" is if you were to enter a tournament tomorrow would you get further now a days because you are more knowledgable or in your younger days using the brute strength, quickness and athleticism everybody has when they are younger?
Not sure..I always did real well in tournaments.
TJ will you become my master judoka?
TrainJudo - Hitler dropped the ball.
thetrollsmasher - TJ will you become my master judoka?
A true judoka is his own master.
