For weeks afterwards newspaper articles and Mr. Kanemitsu, who is a famous instructor at a high school in cartoons appeared on the topic, indeed it was the sporting news of the Okayama prefecture, considered that weakness in groundwork was the year. major fault of Japanese judo today.

Japanese judoka today tend to slacken off their training after graduation and then drop back in standard. If Japanese judoka train hard and study judo techniques against big opponents, Mr. Mifune thought that because of the colossal start that Japanese judo had, they definitely ought to win in the Olympics but it meant three years of really concentrated work.
