Thanks Aki

It works, it throws, who cares? What would referee score? Does that matter?

@@JudoLife lógico que busca -se a projeção. Será que não existe técnicas eficientes dentro das 100 técnicas ao invés de buscas em outras artes ?

Of course Judo has many efficient techniques within the categorisation, and the Kodokan tends to categorise every viable throw. On rare occasions Judoka invent their own technique that is original and efficient. In these cases Kodokan often take many years to acknowledge the technique, perhaps to see it stands the test of time, and build popularity? But whatever the delay in official name, if a throw works and is a valid scoring action then it might be used against our current judoka in a tournament and we had better skill up about it or risk losing to an unfamiliar action stalling a response and getting caught. So that's why it's included. Education, but certainly not promotion, but we have a need to know what's useful and the scope of judo, inclusive of outlier techniques. This has been going on for many years. While Daigo Sensei's book is comprehensive it is not the exclusive book to what scores in Judo.

Looks like they have blue and white gi laid out, if it’s a competition, he may just be changing into appropriate color for his match. 🤷‍♂️

No, just you

Judo uses heaps of strength, in the correct lines. Elite judoka are incredibly strong and adaptable. The concept of doing judo or not, vs doing inefficient judo, is in question here. On a conceptual level the lines of power should be established without using strength at all, then add strength at the correct phase, to over-ride the opposition defenses. I dont think this a particularly dynamic technique, the coach was just suggesting the action was valid to his club member

@@JudoLife Professor Kano would roll in his grave . Judo was never meant to be a sport with weight classes . It was developed so a smaller man could defeat a larger man with leverage and technique. He would disdain the whole idea of grip fighting and the Olympic version of his creation.
