[@philipstrutt1086]

Thanks for translating this!! Happy to see the leg grabs return with the amended rules.

[@DanDrocan]

Excellent! I missed those techniques, it makes judo more complete. Thank you for sharing.

[@judouniverse]

You're welcome! I will keep up with important Judo news 😊

[@HappyOsotogari]

I love these rules! It allows all of my favorite leg grab techniques while stopping Judo from just looking like wrestling.

Back to the greatest moment of Grappling Sport

[@misnomer4231]

About time we got our leg grabs back

[@LivingForce]

Very important part of Judo that has now returned!

[@GaryBerliner]

It seems appropriate, and in accordance with the spirit of Judo, to allow leg attacks that assist a throw from an already engaged position.

[@Isnogood12]

Weren't the previous "no leg grabs" rules forced by the Olympics comittee because judo was becoming too similar to greco-roman wrestling and would have been thrown out of the olympics if they weren't changed?

[@MemesDose3]

Is there any chance the IJF will bring back leg grabs similar to this ? I watched a KZbin video about how they will release the update on rules for 2025 but it was very vague on what it will be .

[@judouniverse]

It's only for one competition in Japan from 2025. The rest of the world is only filled with rumors... Watch my previous video for more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJK9e2aAnM9grcUsi=_HzORojYZ1Q8YJyq

[@danieldonade4196]

New rules, please come to the rest of the world

[@64wy4x8s]

This is only for the 2025 All Japan openweight tournament, not any other competition

[@judouniverse]

Yeah, I talked about that in my previous video which you can check out, but thank you for commenting!
