Banned Judo techniques - Leg grabbing throws

For 50 years, judo was a normal Olympic form of wrestling, and it was sterilized in 1 day

[@lancegoulet8100]

Yes and no. Too many rule changes in judo have come from trying to keep it in the Oly's. The other side of that coin is how much judo had grown and innovated because of that. Judoka have taken techniques from different disciplines, free style wrestling, sambo, Grecko-Roman wrestling, etc. The shimisho no waza are all techniques that are not part of the gokyu and many have come from other disciplines, or were just "invented" by fighters. Being an Olympic sport has caused some rule changes that you can argue have not made judo better. It has also created the situation that has allowed judo to continue to breath, grow and evolve, and not be static like some other martial arts.

[@ІгорБойко-р6х]

@@lancegoulet8100 for me personally, the measure of the quality of fighting is its practicality from the point of view of self-defense, that is, being able to defend oneself against 1 and several opponents who are in different clothes or without it, who have different fighting techniques...

[@lancegoulet8100]

@@ІгорБойко-р6х For me judo was always about competition, not self-defense. It was a sport and I wanted to win. Judo was developed as a form of physical education first, which is why some ju-juts techniques were modified and made less dangerous - the idea of mutual welfare and benefit and being able to practice without getting injured. But to say judo was not about fighting or self-defense would be disengenuous. But because it is an international sport, judoka have invented new techniques and brought in techniques from other disciplines. Many of those have added to the self-defense benefit of judo. But the reason judo is so great for self-defense is that it is real. And practicing it as a sport is what keeps it real. I do like your comment about being a “retro judo” coach.

Teddy Riner would've had a lot more losses if these techniques were allowed. It gave the shorter guy a lot more to work with.

None of Teddy Rinner's losses in senior competition have been due to a leg grabbing tehcnique... Look at Teddy Riner's losses during the 2007~2010 period, none of them were due to leg grabs. You still need to win the gripfighting game if you want to go for leg grabs, and Riner has been by far the most dominant gripfighter at +100kg. I doubt much would have changed.

That would mean we'd still have huge throws like Kata Guruma, Te Guruma, and hand assisted Sode Tsuri Komi Goshi- while removing the type of Judo that led up to the rule changes. Think about it, most of the throws in this video are done with only one hand below the belt.

In February of 2013 wrestling was voted out of the Olympics. This is well documented. The reason for the rule change was the IOC wanted stronger differentiation between the sports of Judo and Wrestling. The IOC came to both sports with a list of changes that were to be implemented. Judo said ok. Wrestling said "get bent" and wrestling was axed from the Olympics. When wrestling came crawling back willing to implement the changes the IOC required; they were reinstated. This is all well known and we'll documented.

Another unspoken, but widely known, reason for the removal of wrestling was to address blatant corruption at the top of FILA, the international governing body for wrestling.

They would have done sports, competition and fairness a bigger favor by allowing another "drop" to point once you loaded up the opponent instead of a drop on the back. Those flips with the opponent on your shoulders look spectacular, but my guess was always that they fear that someone lands on the neck or otherwise badly and cause major injuries. Single and double leg shooting is an easy, fast and in now many sports used takedown - to ban that is hilarious.

All the stupid rule changes are the reason I gave up judo many years ago as a 2nd dan. It's now no longer so exciting and to me, is quite boring to watch nowadays.

[@thelaughingphilosopher2421]

Bring them back.

[@TB-fm8kf]

no, this is judo not freestyle wrestling

[@anbernicguy]

Single leg and double leg takedowns should be brought back to Judo.

[@felipemoura1920]

After this ban the stance of the judokas changed, before they were more on mid height stance, now they are more high. I also think they are more physical than technical now.

[@coolandfunnyvideos4181]

Martial arts should create their own Olympics damn. This is the judo my uncle competed in

[@BigBoss877]

What on earth would even give them the idea that getting rid of these techniques would make judo more exciting….

Neil Adams has to take some responsibility as well. He was apparently on the committee, or some such bs

[@EyeSeeU2]

I believe cuz it's a sport, the leg throw can be very dangerous should the head is spear down. But looks very impressive, I like it a lot.

[@GrappleHeavy93]

Sambo is now the best Gi Takedown Martial Art because of how they ruined Judo via the ruleset.

[@aidarjapykeev4544]

I really hate how, Judo used to be top level for self defense, the best sport, and now IJF is restricting rules and making judo less entertaining, less attractive. Competitive Judo is not the best self-defense, as before.

[@harunherten181]

leg grab come backkkkkk

[@LaskerEmanuelEVE]

Honestly lol at getting single and double legged so hard that you change the rules...

[@taltezy2941]

I think the rules changed to benefit the Japanese Judoka.

[@64Rosso]

Yes, it's not said by anyone, but everyone at that time knnew that it was strongly wanted by the japanese federation in order to stop the overpower of the russian school. It didn't worked, it just has made Judo more poor, but that's what you get when politics mix with real things.

[@TheDevourerOfPancake]

Yuuuuup

[@ArpMadore1]

If that's true, it'd apply to Georgians as well. Cuz there's no such thing as leg grabs in Chidaoba, Georgia's traditional wrestling. In the 1990s, All Japan Judo Federation(AJJF) opposed the introduction of blue judogi in a big way. European Judo Union(EJU) decided to introduce blue judogi at international competitions in Europe in 1994. In response, when AJJF indicated its intention to boycott the competitions, EJU reversed its decision. However, AJJF gave in to the wishes of Europe after Park, supported by EJU, became president of the IJF in 1995. In contrast, AJJF has never expressed any opposition to leg grabs. After Vizer became IJF president in 2007, IJF no longer had anyone on the board of directors from Japan. Under these circumstances, How can the European-led IJF be at the beck and call of Japan? To be precise, there have been two board members since 2013, when a total ban on leg grabs was decided. However, both of these are mere decorations since they don't have voting rights.

[@MatthewNguyen-zx3de]

@@64Rosso The Russian school of Judo is high amplitude and they didn't do leg grabs, where the fuck are you getting this? The Russian style is more reliant on pick ups and hugging grips- both of which tend to be countered by leg grabbing.

[@64Rosso]

@@MatthewNguyen-zx3de clearly you don't know shit about "old style judo", i.e. how Judo was before these absurd rules... Go and look for some video of those times, and THEN you can come here and talk to me in this arrogant way.

[@user-vc6]

As most agree Judo got ruined by these cowardly and/or greedy for cash (entertainment over practicality) ideas and the martial arts cut from judo was so useful it became one of the most successful martial arts in the modern era Brazilian Jiu Jitsu… it seems bjj will eventually go full circle combing wrestling judo Sambo and ne waza to become good judo again ( that’s at least in adcc where takedowns matter more)

[@AngloSaxon1]

All of them throws and takedowns should be reinstated into the art. Im not a practitioner of Judo so I don't know if they are still taught in the art and just not allowed in competition.

[@mrburns2128]

Judo is not only a sport, so for the belts advancement there is a technical program to be studied and it encompasses all the Kodokan (the principal and first judo institution) established tecniques.

[@Gundam1854]

As security, I need to train leg trowing 😢it could be useful in self defense situation

[@misnomer4231]

i absolutely hate they banned them >_

[@prvtthd401]

The only thing that improved is that you don't see people bulldoze each other from the mats anymore trying to go for a leg takedown. Otherwise I just don't see it.

[@NickKano11]

That's why they should have made it that you can only have one hand below the belt. You'd have awesome throws like Kata Guruma and Te Guruma, and get rid of the mindless rugby tackles.

[@prvtthd401]

@@NickKano11 I agree. Or maybe only allow leg takedowns after establishing a grip on the upper body.
