Just a word of advice, if I were you, I'd try to refrain from explaining what a Judoka like Mifune does by saying it doesn't involve leverage. When you completely miss the obvious, you lose your credibility.
You are tricky though!
Leverage by itself does not explain everything Mifune could do. Leverage is only one part. Many Judoka know how to use leverage to their advantage very well. I know men who can hold 120 lbs at arms length with one hand off the ground, it takes more than leverage by itself when you are that size to beat someone who is that strong.
