This is a famous photo of the legendary Jesse Owens after winning Gold at the 1936 Olympics.

Can anyone name the famous Martial Arts practitioner also in this photo?.

Dyr · 09-01-2010 1:06am

Ye mean the frail little asian man?

Bonus point: There was a martial artist at the same olympics who gave the nazi salute on the winners pdoum despite being half jewish, what discipline was that in?

Karoly Karpati, Wrestling.

A certain Mr Kano?

Would guess him 'cause he was very active in the IOC all his life..

And here's a photo of his coffin (draped in the Olympic flag) arriving back in Japan after Dr.Kano's death at sea only two years later.

Did'nt want to ruin it for everyone

Dunno if this fella Karoly gave the salute but i was thinking of a german female fencer, can't remember her name. She gave the salute to protect her family apparently

The ageing process wouldve been very harsh on Yoshida to look like Yama****a at 40!:eek:

No cant say Ive read too many books on judo, only the few that I got off a friend of my parents and ones that I picked up abroad. Something I would like to do though.

Was it a good read?

I don't want to derail the thread, but yes its a fantastic read for a Judoka. If your not a Judoka and want to read a Judo book then I highly recommend 'The Pyjama Game'.

Dyr · 09-01-2010 1:46am

Right, name these two dashing chappies

Professor Kano introduced them to each other..

I was thinking along the those lines and trying to remember the stories from 'The Pyjama Game' but it all escapes me at the moment.

I'll take a wild guess and say Kimura & a Gracie, but its literally a shot in the dark'.

Don't give it away, I've to hint the sack here, but I'll give it my my best (and final) shot tomorrow morning.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 09-01-2010 7:53am

Dammit, here goes Bambi..

Lol at dasmoose actually initiating the take down rather than pulling guard!

I know

It was a moment of weakness and it won't happen again.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 15-01-2010 12:42am

There is three generations of Judoka in this photo, a Grandfather, son and grandson, and all still practicing!.

Can anyone name them?.

This was taken at the Irish Open, November 2009.

Since there was chat about the All Ireland University Championships elsewhere, here's a photo of the UCG men's and women's teams from 1999. UCG did the double by winning both the men's and women's team events that year.

Burnt · 28-01-2010 2:43am

For many years the UCG womens' team was very formidable; even more so than the mens', they took third place at the international university competition in Paris in 2002; QUB possibly in combination with some UUJ/UUC my memory is hazy, repeated this sucess for the men the following year. It's unfortunate that the competiveness of womens' judo; despite the recent isolate sucesses of Lisa Kearney at internationals, is at a bit of a low ebb...

arybvtcw0eolkf · 30-01-2010 10:37am

Some more pretty good Judo Newaza, 'tis not all about throws ya know!.

This blog http://my_sarisari_store.typepad.com/ is by a filipino photographer about various off the track aspects of life over there. His photographs are top notch imo. It's not necessarily Martial arts related (although he's putting up pictures of gay boxing contests right now

) but it's well worth a look.

Read something about that guys bronze medal win in Paris on an American website. He stuck his leg out on purpose cos he knew the guy would pick it up (his opponent was from Belarus) and get disqualified. And it worked. I can't make my mind up on this..

Another one from the weekend:

John Douglas this week in The Daigokan Judo Club, Donnycarney, Dublin.

And for those who wonder if they're too old... John is 71 and rarely if ever misses practice.

And here's John and Tommy O'Hara on the mat.. There's 90yrs Judo experience between these two gentlemen!.
