superkix Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Not as good as their 1993 match but still pretty good. Nagai will snap off some kicks and try for something fancy on the mat but end up getting caught in a Volk submission. The match itself is much slower paced, with more struggle on the mat. At one point, Han catches a foot and just barely blocks a nasty-looking spinning heel kick counter before he puts on his signature standing single leg. I love when Han gets fed up against strikers and just takes them out with slaps and knees of his own. The finish was great – Nagai goes in with kicks and slaps and Han grabs a choke and drags him down for the quick tapout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makai Club #1 Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 The first match in 1993 gets a reputation for being a squash but I disagree, thinking this is a better example of it. This still has some good sequences between the two, who have very underrated chemistry as opponents, with Volk Han being less troubled by the young Mitsuya Nagai. Nagai fires off some kicking combos and works hard to defend against the traditional Volk Han style but it only takes a moment before Han takes his chance via a choke. *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
