Biography
Judo career
He excelled at newaza (ground work) and felt that it warranted greater emphasis than the Kodokan gave it. He worked with Hajime Isogai to develop the groundwork-emphasizing style of judo taught at the Kōtō senmon gakkō schools, known as kosen judo. It is said that Oda vision of newaza completed that of Kano's.[2]
Although sources often cite Yaichibei Kanemitsu on his place,[3] Oda is sometimes credited with developing the strangulation technique sankaku-jime (三角絞). This technique has been adopted into other martial arts and fighting systems including Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and mixed martial arts.[3] The triangle choke was said to be able to be applied in most directions.[4]
Oda was awarded the rank of 9th dan in judo in 1948 and died in 1955.
