You know, it's different hitting a moving target, but it's also different hitting a moving target that's trying to hit you as well. And that's our game, right? So we're not only trying to throw a moving target, we're trying to throw a moving target that's trying to throw us. So it makes it even more difficult.
When I watch great athletes, most of them can throw over both flanks. Not always going left and right, you know, although our sport always, I mean, the caters are always demonstrated left and right. So like if you demonstrate, if you do something on one side, you know, then can you demonstrate it on the other side, right? Okay. So can you do it equally? No. Okay.
but you do it differently right on the other side so you know when i'm teaching i i i don't teach left and right i teach so if i was teaching you to do a technique first thing i'd do is say i need you to take a sleeve and a lapel all right so i'd let you decide what was left and right okay because often what happens is we impart on people
whether they're going to be left or right when we start teaching. You get a lot of teachers do that. And they'll say immediately, what do you write with, left or right hand? And it's no indicator actually as to how we do judo because I'm left-handed and I do more predominantly right-handed because I lead off my strongest hand. And actually most people do.
So actually left and right is a bit of a trap sometimes when we're teaching. Better to...
get you know because we can go so my point was is that a lot of people can go both flanks so they'll do something over this side and something over this side but anyway it was one-sided he was one-sided but he could he could switch it so he had a um uh c and aggie as well on the other side so he could switch it if he had to yeah and uh by the way your opponent in 84 was he righty or lefty
He was a righty.
Well, I mean, again, it was, you know, he could have probably in other contests, he'd hit me with it several times and I just stopped it, you know, and just at the wrong place at the right time for him, right place in the wrong time for me. Right.
Yeah.
This is final of Paris tournament. And this is against the Korean. The Korean had had a great day, actually.
Again, shorter. So he does find that difficult. Have a look at Teddy Renner. Teddy Renner will try and catch the sleeve. He's after the sleeve and then the right arm over the top. That's the key point for Teddy Renner. And of course, what he has done, if he can't always catch the big Osada Gary over his right-hand side, he's been doing something to the opposite side.
Like I say, he has difficulty always against somebody smaller, dropping with the sea and aggies.
I've never seen him thrown for rip-on, but he was thrown last week for a nice technique, and he's being caught more and more. So he's getting close. Yeah, and Tseyev, in the final of the World Championships, they had a strange situation there where Tseyev was a technique down and then pulled off a counter, and they didn't count it. But then they overruled it.
Unfortunately, I was commentating at the time, and I went for a score for Tseyev. Anyway, they overruled it, and then they awarded a second gold medal to Tseyev.
Yeah, Basheyev and Tseyev are the two that could possibly go to the Olympics. So that was a close one there from René. That was closest that he'd actually been there.
So didn't have the sleeve and he relies on the sleeve greatly. Big support there in the French in the crowd.
Yeah, so if they don't attack, if they've got a grip and they've got sleeve lapel or they've got two hands on, if they're too passive and they don't attack, if they've got dominant sleeve grip, they don't attack. That was quite close as well from the Koreans. So the Korean here, you can see, is having a real go. The penalties will come if they don't attack at the right time.
Step outside the yellow area, they'll get penalized as well.
I mean, it was really close, wasn't it? Nice little Koichi Gary there from the Korean. And if they touch below the belt line with the arms, they're not allowed to grab the legs. They've stopped grabbing the legs.
The Koreans are having a real good go at it.
