Thank you all.
We train leg takedowns one day a week, I just wish we could train old school judo more. I know I will never go to the Olympics along with 99% of the judoka population. Why should we let them change our art form?
I totally agree about allowing more than one competitor from the same country in each division—especially if both are top ranked in the world. I’ve said it for a while that other sports do it! It made me angry when Maruyama (2020), Deguchi (2020) and Klimkait (2024) were excluded. There have been so many amazing judoka who could have won gold but never got a shot
I don't like the idea of sportifiying of the judo Kata. Katas are teaching tools. Looks what happens to Karate Katas. They suffer a lot in the practical sense/ bunkai.
Well even when I don't like the new rules in IJF and detest the control of the Olympics footage that the IOC had. I think it's a great honor to be part of the Olympics. There only 3 styles of wrestling in the modern Olympics (Greco-Roman, Freestyle, and Judo) and Judo is the only one from the jacket- wrestling variety (Bök, Shiao Jiao, Sambo, Chidaoba etc) If you ask me I would say that's super impressive that Japan could pull the world audience attention and interest in their style of jacket wrestling.
If you're getting screwed the wrong way, it might be time for a divorce. Judo doesn't need the Olympics, the Olympics need Judo. Leave the Olympic Games, and save Judo for future generations.
Fencing people feel similarly. I did BJJ I went to one of the top competition schools for 5 years and 10 years before that I did 5 more years. I barely made blue belt before I got an unrelated injury that took me out of the sport. I loved the sport but I only cared to practice stuff I could adapt for a fight. I won more than one gold in more than one weight class but we were a competition school and I just wanted to get my ass kicked in new ways every day so nothing surprised me in real life. Coach knew what I was doing and I knew I'd never get promoted that way. I made BJJ my own thing and lots of luck to you, even if you are belted much higher or a decent boxer, or Thai boxer, or wrestler. You'd need 15 quality lbs on me in addition to one of those things. There is always some 150lb kid that is all of those things and a D1 gymnast and I still have to be not an idiot. The freedom to make the sport mine WAS the love for the sport. I think that's what has left Judo. I'm too old to hit the ground that hard that often anymore but, if I can manage it, my son will be a Judoka before he plays any other sport and I will find an old school.
I asked a hachidan once why competitive renditions of koshiki-no-kata look different from the actual video we have of Kano doing it with kawaishi. I mean, if it's there to preserve the techniques, shouldn't everyone make it look just like his? The answer was, "The kata started to change when competition became popular. Each competitor tries to differentiate and distinguish their performance, and the judges look for their preferences, and practice moves over time." Making kata competitive doesn't really help the kata, IMO.
Your book is great.
I simply don’t agree to include judo katas bc judo katas are practical forms; they have no “secret” techniques ingrained in them. On the other hand, karate katas are artistic bc it’s supposed to hide “dangerous” techniques that they don’t want the public to see. This’s why karate is so f*cked up. I guess you’re 💯% wrong there. Great video, and I respect your opinion.
Would be cool to see more events: Standard judo rules, open weight (with leg grabs?), standard rules 5v5, Kosen rules 5v5, Kata
Judo is dead 💀.
Why would kids even train Judo with what's available now day's.
Judo is so waterd down it is pathetic weak and insulting to old Judo.
Get realistic.
Judo is finished
No not Kata in the Olympics. Please for the love of god no. Make judo in the Olympics better not make it embarrassing.
Me and Chadi should make the judo version of CJI
Kata is art, not sport
It's very "individual" thing, related to physical and mental training, it's only preparing to real combat
It would be weird to make any kata competitions, in karate as well, because it's like competition in "training" itself, not competition in results of your training, as it should be
Anyone who thinks kata is useless doesn't understand it.
I totally agree, judo shouldn't be in the Olympics to show at least the true beauty of that martial art.
Back then when I was still practicing Tae Kwon do we have a little club called black-belt club, the idea of it is basically preparing oneself up to the level of black belt and research on some illegal moves that was banned from competition and deadly moves instead of ending up like an ordinary skill black belt, but come to think of it, maybe judo needs this now? a club that is outside of kodokan to dedicate to research/rediscover/ preserve the loss technique and prepare oneself up to the level of black belt that would be great wouldn't it ?
We need to change it from the roots up:
Start a freestyle Judo movment in your local dojo/club, get people involved!
If BJJ dominates your local scene take the time to do Gi, and learn the judo techniques and go from there.
This wont change overnight, but it can be changed
Make a video on the judo rules you want please.
Judo needs to be more popular outside of the Olympics. It needs competitions that display the actual martial art of Judo and not Olympic style judo which is only partial judo.
Judo needs something like CJI.
