Buckeyes Host Japanese Stars
The Buckeyes are tapping into the wisdom of Japanese World and Olympic coaches and wrestlers while hosting members of their national team. Ryan said having high-octane partners such as 2021 Olympic gold medalist, Takuto Otoguro, World silver medalist Yoshinosuke Aoyagi, 2024 Olympic silver medalist Daichi Takatani, 2024 Olympic team member Hayato Ishiguro, along with their coach, Shogo Maeda, has proven invaluable for his staff and wrestlers.
“Coleman Scott is friends with their coach,” Ryan said. “He was able to organize bringing them here. When you get Olympic champions and World medalists added to your room, and the international perspective of what they think and do in certain positions, it’s incredible for our guys.”
Ryan said he looks for opportunities to learn and to put his team under different forms of wrestling stress.
“We look for different ways of putting the guys through duress,” he said. “This experience does that. It’s like, ‘You think your single-leg attacks or your defense are good? Well, go with this guy. It’s not as good as you thought, is it?’”
The Japanese coaches and wrestlers will be training with the Buckeyes and their Regional Training Center athletes for two weeks.
“You’re always trying to find ways to learn, to expose and poke holes in the wrestling packages of your student-athletes,” Ryan said. “You have to if you want to constantly improve. Because of how incredibly skilled they are, these guys do that.
“It’s been an incredible experience. They’re great guys. They’re humble. They work incredibly hard, and we’re so fortunate to get to have them here.”
