Dude, after those changes, leg grab is back!what a bunch of fuckin clown shit. if theyre gonna take out yuko then dont score it at all. one less shido is good but it doesnt prevent stalling at all, if anything that means tori can run away for three shidos after a score, which is what happened in the olympics this year.
i really enjoyed the system where shidos were progressively higher scores for your opponent, specifically for this reason.
the leg grab bullshit is the worst and now we've gone an entire generation of people who have been scared away from basic grappling.
its just silly. modern sport Judo is silly and fucking boring to watch. if it werent for the submisson grappling there would be nothing to differentiate it from greco save for the pajamas and referee wearing a suit and yelling japanesey things.
IMHO Judo hasnt been Judo since 2009
More so, the cross grips are now recognized as kumikata, so no shido!!!
