Life hack: you don't need Newaza skills when you throw your Uke hard enough that he bounces back up.

I know things aren't that great in Africa, but damn. I guess every judoka is too injured to become a serious threat on the international scene lmao.

Tori rotating his hands through and giving that little bit of a pull up is probably saving uke from death....

Still fucking brutal and hell to the no for me dawg

I love the third one where he already lifts Uke the highest but then pops him up even further before throwing. Like the Undertaker's move, haha

Is this . . . some kind of fetish thing?

Only been training judo for 2.5 years and was always told it would click some time, well that happened tonight

I felt better after Randori tonight than any of of medals in comps, as I could finally see my progress

Don't know why I'm posting this, but tonight meant more to me than any belt promotion or comp. It just felt like I finally knew a little Judo and could actually instinctively do what was on my mind

I wish I did judo when I was younger
Awesome art

Lol, it's a great feeling when it works ain't it? I'm pretty sure all of us have a post like this. Peaks and valleys man. Enjoy the highs, push through the lows.

Yeah it was awesome
It's worked here and there in stages, but that night was the first time it really clicked

I have had lows, some highs, but you are right to enjoy the highs when we get them buddy

Well, the new rules are out and they're something of a damp squib especially after weeks of talk of leg grabs returning. You can now grab below the waist. but only to the top of the inner thigh. We are now allowed to play touch butt in the dojo.

Other changes are the yuko score is back but only in ne-waza (5 second pin), reverse seoi-nage is now legal and head diving--either offensively or defensively--will not now get you DQ'd.

Is it just me or is the “touching to the top of the inner thigh” rule as clear as mud? They explicitly say no leg grabs but you can touch the inner thigh? Does that mean regular te guruma is back in play instead of the abomination that judoka are doing now? Or you can only push the upper thigh (in conjunction with jacket grip) but not pull/grab it?

I was among the foolish who thought/hoped the IJF would come to their senses and just go with the AJJF rules.

Old-style te-guruma will remain illegal under these rules.

I'm glad about the Korean Seoi Nage being allowed.

What really has been bothering me is the stupid "no hands clasping during bearhugs" rule. It's just a nonsensical inconvenience. It doesn't make a practical difference if i clasp my hands and pull in or grab the gi with both hands next to each other to pull in. What is even the point of that rule beyond trying to annoy judoka? Do they want to make people grab each other in some weak Spiderman way?

Lol but Spiderman's technique is justifiable since he's a chemistry and photography nerd with no actual combat training. He does however have super strength so his grappling should look like retard strength crappling.

Yeah the locking hands rule makes no sense to me. Today our Judo instructor was trying to rationalize it to the class (along with other existing and new rules) as being to prevent Judoka from "slinging guys to the ground with a bodylock using only brute force and no actual technique." Lmao. I feel like yodan and up have to sign a contract to mindlessly defend bullshit from the IJF without questioning it. Another gem was "no leg grabs means you can stand upright in a natural stance which is more practical for a fight when strikes are in play vs. hunched over wrestling stance." Yeesh. It's not like wrestling isn't the most dominant base style in MMA.

No clasping hands, no leg grabs, the ridiculously specific grip restrictions - all of that just waters down the art.

Haven't heard the term "crappling" in a long while. I have to start using it more, lmao

Spider-Mans technique is also justifiable because he usually fights guys jacked like prime Bork Laser so gable gripping is going to be some Wilfried Dietrich level challenge to begin with.

Little does he realize that being able to effectively leverage a brute force bodylock is an actual technique and being unable to prevent it is a display of a lack of technical skill. What really rustles my jimmies about this claim which i keep hearing is that even if you accept this logic on surface level, it still doesn't make sense in a Judo context because unlike wrestling, you can just use a tiny piece of Gi or belt to connect your hands without them locking or even touching each other. I once knew this guy who always went for pseudo-full nelsons this way.

Yeah, because Judo was totally known for everybody having to go into a low Sumo stance back in the day because the super duper devestating and game changing effectiveness of leg grabs made any normal stance useless. So Judo had to take a book out of the Greco-Roman wrestling book where the contestants fight in an upright stance.

No clasping hands, no leg grabs, the ridiculously specific grip restrictions - all of that just waters down the art.

Bizarre grip restrictions ensure that only the best of the best win fair and square.

Lol maybe these pics are of Spiderman giving his opponent a friendly hug the day before they fight to assess if he can lock his hands properly. Alternatively, he might be doing a Dan Severn early UFC tribute fight where he's avoiding locking his hands directly around the waist or head without an arm in, due to years under American folkstyle wrestling rules.

Bizarre grip restrictions ensure that only the best of the best win fair and square. lol

I think we've solved the mystery. The IJF is trying to modify the crude strength-based techniques of (Greco-Roman) wrestling to incorporate more leverage, so they can work for the smaller man.

Japanese judoka doing randori with leg grabs. Not sure what the IJF was thinking because this looks dynamic and badass. Also these have to be the happiest combatants I've ever seen - they're yukking it up throwing each other around happy as shit. Maybe I need to start giggling like this during randori and possibly when performing nage no kata.
