Jimmy nailed it. If everyone can't do it, it'll never be popular. Promoting Judo's self defense gets people interested, not competing.

Jimmy is so right. The rule changes over the years aimed at getting and keeping judo in the Olympics have really compromised the art as a martial system. Newaza is stood up so fast. Leg grabs are hansoku make. Nowadays we get "ippon" throws all the time where uke ends up on tori's back with hooks because they sold out defense to get ippon. Judo self defense has become turtling and locking your collars down. What use is that in a grappling match or street fight? Such a beautiful art being compromised for potential TV ratings. Not even actual ratings, just potential ratings.

@internetenjoyer10443 жыл бұрын
to be honest i dont think the changes make the art that dramatically worse as a self defence system. just dont use that gentle rolling thrown in a non competition situation, and cross train to get the single an double leg game down and that basically solves mot of the issues

You probably don't train judo Your commend is absolutely wrong the rules it's about the sport In dojo you will everything about ne waza and about leg grap The option that judo change and became worst or for TV show is bullshit
@kcwliew3 жыл бұрын
@@georgetsili3861 Yeah I agree - BJJ player here but I trained 6 months in a Judo school in France because there was no BJJ school near me at the time. We spent MOST of our time on Newaza just because the coach was really into it. I had a blast and learnt so much. Hope is not lost for Judo. Judo guys know the score... There's a reason why Judoka black belts have to enter BJJ competitions as blue belts because grappling is grappling. Having said that - I also agree with the OP that it's sad that sports judo has seen these changes - particularly the leg grabs and newaza. I have a feeling that this will change though - the increasing interest in MMA and submission grappling should be of notice to the powers that be.

So well founded answers. I am impressed with this interview. I never got to become a competition sports judoka myself. Well, first of all I couldn't do it, but secondly, I thought of Judo as a martial art and not just a martial sport. I cross trained in thaiboxing at the time, and actually used some techniques that crossed over. That was before MMA became a big thing, and as stupid as I am, I thought Royce Gracie was a judoka. I think Judo have to reinvent itself back to the roots, but also into the modern world.
