Grand Slam gold for Funa Tonaki: judo analysis
Funa Tonaki (JPN) displayed deftness in both newaza and tachi-waza at the Kazan Grand Slam which she won handily. She won her first match, against Aliyeva (AZE) with a leg insertion koshi-jime, which is more commonly used by European players. Most Japanese players tend to do the more traditional form of koshi-jime where you don't insert the leg and don't roll uke over. Rather, you just grab uke's leg and do a clockwise turn to execute the strangle (which is why it is called the "clock choke" in BJJ).
