Yeah Travis said, "oh okay" when Shintaro did a foot/leg sweep after the end of the gregorian grip there. He knew Shintaro got him. Shintaro then had his back, definitely a dominant newaza position.

Seriously the only two people I watch for takedown stuff What an honor and pleasure to watch

Love this video and we're following you guys all the way up here in Alaska. Had the privilege of attending Travis's clinics twice when he came up, and each time my judo grew! I can't wait to visit Shintaro Sensei's dojo and learn from him as well. 🙏

Thank you for your lessons it was wonderful to watch!

Great video, especially the grip fighting. Would love to see more standing and ne waza randori sessions. I've learned a lot from both of you. Can't wait to get back in the dojo to practice and pass on some of what I've learned watching your videos. Thanks for your contributions to judo and grappling arts in general.

Fabulous! It's such a pleasure to see two very highly skilled Judoka randori! Thank you!!

Wooh! That was a lot fun and the no gi towards the end was an extra treat!

Love the dynamic these two world class judokas have. Oss!

You can tell alot about your relationship with someone in randori; Lots of mutual respect here And I can appreciate that Sensei Travis is a cuddly bully 😂😂😂 Thanks for another amazing video Sensei Shintaro. Looking forward to more colabos. Now back to driving. Had to stop to watch this lmao

Great video with awesome skills and attitudes on display. The most interesting thing to me is the focus on and intricacy of the grip fighting. It seems to be about 70% of the battle and only once it is won - for a fleeting moment - is a throw possible. For much of my time as a judo player (recreational level), the emphasis was the other way around. That made it hard in shiai where I'd often feel I had better judo (throws) than my opponent but couldn't get my grips. Interesting.

Thank you brou. From Brazil.

This was amazing to watch.

That was so much fun!

This was the best!

This was great! I was waiting for the jump spinning wheel kick from Shintaro haha.

Very , very good . Thanks guys.

Travis you are a beast. Shintaro great job taking on a much bigger opponent. Greatly appreciate you both for the amazing info you have put out to help guys like me train during the pandemic.

AWESOME RANDORI, LOVE HONEST JUDO!! Looks like fun and judo is always applicable to real life self defense. Shintaro, make that big boy move and sweep him!! But he is so quick ! And the power on that shoulder throw, WOW! I think corona has made many of us fat and lazy due to the fear of partner practice, time to get back on the mat and practice!! Just be prudent about who you come in close contact with, Covid is still a worry.

You guys are strong and having fun!
