In the event of being divided into three categories, beginners, advance, experts, 45 teams, 225 players challenge QUINTET 's unique game of team fighting / withdrawal using 4 judo places of judo.
For the players, if there are professional players active in MMA already, if you are a professional jiu-jitsu, also a performer team, a photographer, a writer. It is probably the amateur tournament that various people including each gym general members can participate according to the level.
In the game, further blocks are divided among each category, and a plurality of tournaments by 4 to 5 teams are held. The combination was decided according to the anticipated ability of the participating members.
Sotaro Yamada achieved five people
It was that competitive tournament, but Yatahata Takutaro who is still active as a professional athlete achieved the first five people in QUINTET history. There is also a game called "quasi-perfect" "Four people free & one person settled at the general battle draw".
One of the notable players of the tournament is Yuasa Yoriko with a track record of winning the Jiu-Jitsu World Championship 4 consecutive times. Yuasa participates in the team "GTS" and fights against Taura's daughter wrestling club. Girls were not tournaments, but only for this one game.
Yuasa enters as the general who will become the team's last fortress. However, as for the game, Mr. Aya Matsumoto of Senbakuda was three veterans and a drawer, and Echigo Iori of the next peak is a general and a draw, GTS is a triumphant left three victories. Yuasa finished the tournament without a game.
It was such a situation, Yuasa is a bright expression. "I am happy to say that I am glad that the team won." According to Yuasa, Echigo of Sengon Matsumoto and the next peak is "a type that is easy to strain." Still because it was a group battle, "Since everyone was, it was a better move than usual, so I won and I did not go around." In that sense as well, it seems to be said that it was the result of QUINTET.
As a result, Kazushi Sakuraba, the organizer, also proposed a rule revision, saying “If there is only one game, we must make a rule that will not win unless eight are removed (laughs)”. Of course, the ideal is to hold a tournament. For the next amateur tournament and the realization of women's matches in professionals, Yuasa also appealed, "I want many female players to come out."
In the overall evaluation after the tournament "It was more exciting than I expected and it was nice that the people who came to cheer were excited especially, it was interesting to see the game itself as well. When you do it together, you become friends. "Battle Koshien" is it, Sakuraba.
In addition, this amateur contest is co-hosted with the Japan Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation. Mr. Yuki Nakai who is also the chairman and chairman of QUINTET's referee chairman said, "It was a tournament where a lot of smiles could be seen and having participated in a lot of teams, knowing that there is such excitement in the grappling I got it. "
According to Mr. Nakai, QUINTET's "easy to understand" also appeared in amateurs as well.
"If you do not take one in a battle against the team, you will draw a draw if you do not take one. (Because it goes to the extreme) It is easy to communicate to many people, if amateurs can communicate that fighting with fellows is so fun"
It is interesting to see and it is interesting even if you do it QUINTET. Amateur QUINTET seems to be playing a big role in the future, even in terms of professional athletes development, as well as for general-purpose DO sports where factor of unity is also important.
