Superstar Judo is proud to bring you three of Mongolia’s best fighters. They are led by their first ever World Champion; Tsagaanbaatar Khashbaatar, who has just recently retired from competitive judo.
When rules have changed Mongolia have always been at the forefront of new technique development. They push judo onto new levels and the rest of the world tries to keep up. This comes from the Mongolian nomadic mentality of adapting to changing circumstances. This mentality also applies to contests and randori; as the circumstances of a fight change their grips, entries and throws change.
You will never have seen an approach to gripping like that of the Mongolians; how to deceive an opponent, or combine unorthodox grips.
Mongolian Judo offers a unique perspective, with a different way of thinking and a refreshing approach to everything about our amazing sport. This truly is what judo is all about.
