Featured in Masahiko Kimura (1917-1992). His unique ability was second to none. At 5 7 and built like a body builders, Kimura beat Helio Gracie in 1951 in Brazil, by repeatedly throwing him, using his specialty oso-to-geri. Gracie, a worthy opponent, would not tap out even with a broken elbow. Finally, his corner had no choice but to throw in the towel. Kimura was pronounced winner by TKO.

Kano was #1, Mifune #2 and Kimura #3.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EM3 Videos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44897549615303,"sku":"02957","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/2521\/files\/KosenJudoOldSchoolPreWWIIJapan2DVDSet.jpg?v=1739573895"},{"product_id":"kosen-judo-the-forgotten-legacy-book-by-guillermo-diaz","title":"Kosen Judo: The Forgotten Legacy Book by Guillermo Diaz","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBefore ground fighting became a global phenomenon in modern martial arts, a quiet revolution was taking place on the mats of Japan’s elite technical colleges. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eKosen Judo: The Forgotten Legacy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e tells the story of a uniquely influential branch of Judo that prioritized groundwork (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ene-waza\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) over throws, developing a deeply strategic and fluid approach to combat that would echo across generations of grapplers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book traces the origins of Kosen Judo from its academic roots in the early 20th century to its golden era between the World Wars.
