【Kudo Exchanging matches Oct. 2022】 Ito vs. Iwata

Iwata on the right has a 2nd dan in judo. Both sides showed their strengths in this match. Iwata relies on his youth and momentum to attack with repeated blows, throws, and ground attacks. On the other hand, although he was outnumbered in the early stages, Ito kept his composure and counterattacked with sharp blows from the middle stage onwards. In Kudo, you can see battles with a high degree of freedom and diversity. Also, you can safely enjoy real fights not only when you are young but also when you are old. It was a good fight between the two who fully demonstrated the charm and splendor of Kudo.
