Welcome to Gaia! ::

Its fun. Its a good workout. Not the best combat art but who cares anyone do it or am i alone here?

Wanna talk judo with you fruits come on! ^^

Throws have their uses ^^

Anyone who takes Judo do you compete and whats your favorite throw and why?

I like Uchimata because its fast and its the only throw i ever actually get in randori. I also like katagaruma cause its the only way to instantly end the match.

Katagaruma you get em up in the air and no one debates match over. You dont even drop em pick em up match over.

Uranage you can't hold at full standing. Katagaruma if you get to full standing with them on your shoulders they call it an ippon. I'm not talking about kneeling version although it is extreamly effective as a throw. Its like Dakiage if you complete the throw you will be penalized and or forfiet the match.

Actually yes i do 5th gen student under Kano. What do you do that gay euro or russian judo?

Rules are rules you compete there is stuff you can't do dork.

I've seen Kosen Judo I am not impressed, but this isn't a pissing contest. This is another failed attempt at trying to start a useful and or fun thread.

You realize the entire reason there's no longer ground work in Judo on the olympic level, or even in any kodokan, is because Kosen Judoka's ******** dominated the tournaments? Then they changed the rules specifically to make it harder for the Kosen Judoka's to win? That 15-30 second groundwork rule didn't exist when Judo first started.

Also http://youtube.com/watch?v=klOINKzcav4 at 54 seconds there's a clean kata guruma, full lift standing, it's not stopped, they let it go through. Now eat a d**k and stop pretending you're the end all be all of Judo. Especially when you don't know the history of it, much less basic ******** rules.

I'v seen your video again im not impressed. Watch the ref can you tell me his arm wasnt up when he had the guy on his shoulder and in full standing? I couldnt say if it was up or down myeslf. Also the guy never locked it out he had no balance to stop the throw. All judo isn't olympic judo either, and the kata garuma was full standing yes but he never locked it or maintined control. As far as Katagaruma goes thats not even technically katagaruma http://judoinfo.com/kataguru.htm . Thats a Katakaruma makikomi if anything because he is tightly wrapped in and continues with the throw attached.

I've randori with kosen judo practitioners I wasnt impressed. You don't impress me with your knowledge at all. Your a condesending dicksplash and this is the last time i will ever respond to a thing you say. You say nothing constructive ever.

I am also not saying to anyone else that actually matters that kosen isnt good, it is, but one form of judo isnt better than its teachers and practitioners.
