Hudson Promotionals, May 2007
Oishi Judo had a good turnout for the Hudson Promotionals yesterday. Congratulations on quite a few strong performances.
I've posted YouTube videos of all the Oishi matches I was able to get, along with the ever-popular highlights reel. I have questions about two of the matches — see my notes next to the links below. If you have an opinion or a clarification, I'd appreciate a note in the blog comments below, or in an email.
The highlights reel has become something of a tradition. It started when I put together three ippons by Milton from the promotionals last October. Then in February Sensei suggested I put together highlights from the dojo tournament we had. Folks responded positively to that video, especially folks who couldn't be there for the tournament, and it's been a tradition ever since. In fact, for the Liberty Bell I posted only highlights.
Okay, here are yesterday's matches:
- Paul [What do you folks think about the call?]
- Jean-Ezra 1 — Jean-Ezra 2 — Jean-Ezra 3
- Nina 1 — Nina 2 — Nina 3 — Nina 4 — Nina 5
- Austin
- Ron
- Bob 1 — Bob 2 — Bob 3 — Bob 4 — Bob 5
- Will 1 [What do you think the judges were conferring about? Who was that first ippon awarded to, and why was it waved off?] — Will 2 — Will 3
- Ian 1 — Ian 2
- Matt
And here's the highlights reel:
Thanks to Sandro for the ride to North Bergen, and thanks to Dan for the ride back.
