Judo demonstration (AWSOME VIDEO)

This is one of the most beautiful martial arts demonstration I’ve ever seen! Judokas may hate me because of my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu vs. Judo videos, so this is a little tribute to this BEAUTIFUL sport! Judo is much more beautiful and exciting to watch than Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but BJJ is more effective!

Doug Rogers Judo Documentary, [Part 1]

n the summer of 1965 Doug Rogers joined the All Japan University Championships as a member of the Takudai team and helped them bring the winner’s penant back to Takudai for the first time in many years. Not only was Doug the first foreigner to take part in this tournament, he was also named as best fighter in the tournament.

“One more year,” Kimura had told him, “and there will be no opponents left for you to beat.” But Doug Rogers did not have one more year. Judo brought a degree of fame in Japan but no fortune, and unlike the more flexible working world of today, people had to build a career when young. He had attained his private pilot’s license at the age of 16 and had always hoped to be a professional pilot. At the ripe old age of 24 the clock was ticking and Doug chose to return to Canada to pursue his career as a pilot. (From; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Rogers )
