Master Yamushta

Scott Kano · 02-04-2003, 03:50 AM

Well Master Yamushta (Hope I spelled it right) came to My Judo Dojo tonight, as he came and is spending some time in New Zealand touring the dojos and stuff. All I have to say is the guy is beyond incredible and amazing. The guy does not even need to use strength for his throws, hes just flying people round without even hardly grabbing them. His 3 best throws he loves to do Is O Uchi Gari, O soto Gari, and Uchimata. My favourite throw is Uchi Mata as it is a good throw agaisnt big men I find. Master Yamushta showed his technique of his Uchimata and man his technique has some different aspects and a different grip as well. Now my Uchi Mata is even better with his guidance and using his technique.

The other thing I noticed as he speaks increddibly good english, and is such a nice guy (he had a beer afterwards with some of us)

For people that dont know him he is like the Mohammed Ali of Judo pretty much.

All I ahve to say is thankyou Master, and safe journeys back to Japan.
Please come back

Thankyou Scott
