Kosei Inoue – 3 Judo DVD 3

Inoue – The Samurai (DVD 3) Inoue shares a stunning glimpse into his Samurai tradition and the theory behind his judo in the most important section of the exclusive conversation.
Inoue demonstrates his Harai-goshi, Osoto-gari, Ashi-waza, Shime-waza, and three distinct Seoi-nages from competition.
We show how Inoue annihilated all opponents in the 2003 World Championships, the terrible lows of losing at the 2004 Olympic Games and a two-year injury hiatus, and his comeback at +100kgs in 2007, when he won the Paris Tournament.
The final DVD of the trilogy, Inoue – The Samurai, delves into Kosei Inoue’s intellect and worldview.
The DVD focuses on the years 2003 through 2008.
Inoue spends the most of the exclusive interview discussing his Samurai way of thinking and his approach heading into the 2003 World Championships.
He describes the highs of winning the 2003 World Championships in front of a home audience, as well as the crushing lows of failing to qualify for the 2004 Olympic Games.
Inoue discusses how he faced with failure at the Games, a catastrophic injury in early 2005, and the death of his brother, all within a year, in one of the most difficult periods of his life.
Despite a torn shoulder before the outset of the 2005 Kano Cup final, Inoue not only fought but also threw his opponent for Ippon.
Inoue tells all about his one-of-a-kind Harai-goshi, which he used to win the World Championships in 2003.
His Osoto-gari and Ashi-waza – techniques he used frequently in Japanese competitions – are fully revealed, as are all three types of Inoue’s Seoi-nage – Morote, Eri-Morote, and Eri-Sode – and his special ground weapon, Shime-waza, which is first demonstrated in a studio and then followed by competition examples.
Inoue – The Samurai has several art-house segments that feature Inoue in pre-fight warm-ups and rituals employing super slow motion cameras and theatrical lighting.
In the interview’s conclusion, Inoue discusses his comeback at +100kgs, his first training session back after injury, winning the 2007 Paris Tournament, and retiring.
This last DVD provides a fascinating glimpse into the demands, emotions, and psyche of one of the greatest judokas of all time.
