September 2026 profile · Information checked on 11 September 2026. Rankings, measurements and six-tournament figures below are from that pre-tournament snapshot.
Abi’s listed strengths are thrusting and pushing. Over the Association’s six-tournament display, his winning techniques were led by oshidashi, a push-out, at 29%; hatakikomi, a slap-down, at 18%; and uwatenage, an overarm throw, at 12%. From a distance for thrusting to a distance for a belt grip: Abi has wins on the other side of that change too.
I don’t want to miss the moment the distance changes
While Abi is thrusting, under which arm is his opponent trying to enter? Once they come together, where are the opponent’s inside arm and Abi’s belt hand? Knowing that an overarm throw is one possible ending keeps me watching when the pushing stops. I don’t mean that he is always looking for a throw. I am interested in a development I had been overlooking.
