Yasuhiro Yamashita Judo

When did yamashita receive the title of 9th Dan?

In regular training or non-competitive events, he would wear red but usually in competition, he would wear black...please correct me if I am wrong but I have never seen a high ranking judoka wearing anything else but black in competition.

He's amazing! His record is over 200 wins undefeated

if siertos, you're right, red was used to distinguish competitors in the competitions, and is also siertos that Yamashita is the 8th dan, I will find out. But it also used the red on the 9th and 10th dan to

The red is only for the fight...two fighters both wearing white...easy to get confused. That's why fighters wear white & blue gi's today.

Judo and JUJitsu, I've done both.. very good for a one on one street encounter..not so good for multiple attackers..add some mui thai and you got yourself a well rounded system. But it depends on your personality and body type.

Your'e not wrong mate. Personal choice is Thai Boxing and Judo. It's really hard to get the time to practice these systems, so my personal choice is the greatest stand up system in the World - Muay Thai, along with (in my opinion) the best grappling system for self defence - Judo. Everyone has their preferences, these are mine.

BJJ
JUDO
MUAY THAI
BOXING
Self-defense no problem.

nice vid! he executes his osotogari from almost impossible positions. amazing to watch!

Brazilian jiu jitsu and judo! Either one of those would be perfect for you

Metallica kick ass, not unlike Yamashita
I don't do judo, but am interested in martial arts as a whole but don't know which to do.
If anyone has recommendations please tell me, I mostly want it for better self defence, but also competitions too.

he use red belt. thas only for 9 a 10 dan

he is the best!!!, good video...thank you

Agreed my friend. I wish I knew him personally too! Great fighter and man also.

Yeah! Yamashita Rules! thanks for the comment!
