From Kosen Judo to BJJ, Interview with Sensei Hirao

Step into the world of ground fighting mastery! In this exclusive interview, I sit down with the incredible Sensei Joichi Hirao, a truly unique figure in the martial arts world. After spending a week observing his teaching and training in his dojo, I gained a deep appreciation for his profound knowledge. Sensei Hirao is not only a strong international judoka, but he holds a special expertise in Kosen Judo – a legendary style of Judo known for its intense focus on newaza (ground techniques). In this video, we delve into his journey, his philosophy on Judo, and his invaluable insights into Kosen Judo's distinct approach to groundwork. Crucially, we explore the fascinating link between Kosen Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). Discover the historical connections, shared techniques, and the perspectives of a master who understands both disciplines deeply. If you're a Judoka looking to improve your ground game, a BJJ practitioner curious about the roots of grappling, or simply a martial arts enthusiast, this interview offers rare and powerful insights.
