Japan's Dominance in Wrestling at the Olympics with Tadaaki Hatta

This week, Wrestling Mindset founder Gene Zannetti sits down with legendary coach Tadaaki Hatta.

Together, they discuss Japan's success in this year's Olympics and how the trend of their dominance could be seen from the previous Olympics in 2020.

They also talked about differences in wrestling in Japan versus the US, what are the philosophies of the sport between the two countries, how the Olympics are the peak of wrestling for most of the world, but for the US, it's the NCAAs and why wrestling actually is considered a martial art in Japan.
