Yusuke Kanamaru began judo following his brother at age six and developed a unique view of judo as not just a sport but an educational discipline. As a coach, he focuses on creating a supportive environment for athletes rather than imposing techniques, emphasizing mental discipline and the richness of judo. He discusses his coaching experiences, particularly with Shohei Ono, and the significance of integrating personal skills with universal judo principles, like Shuhari and Taisabaki. His time in the UK highlighted the importance of diverse coaching styles, and he shares how break-dancing complements judo movements.
