As an ex-judoka, for me, still the best of all spectator sports. So explosive, lots of skill. Minimal injuries.

This was very clear and concise, just the type of video I was looking for while researching whether I should take up the Art. Thank you.

[zydeco]

Exactly what I needed to watch the Olympics! Thank you so much!

[darkshinigami]

When i practiced, the penalty system was more complicated with shido, shui, keikoku and hansoku make. They respectively gave the opponent koka, yuko, waza-ari and ippon.

We're going to need Judo lawyers, apparently.

Wow! Dopiero teraz zobaczyłem komentatora zawodów judo, którego głos słyszałem od tak dawna. Bardzo mi miło, pozdrawiam.

I can't understand why they quit to award yukos. The leg touching prohibition is mysterious to me too. It seems like pretty soon the fight will still be called judo but it will be judo no more. Also only 2 shidos allowed is kind of over the top.

[paulthemikolajdupontsrens]

They should really really stop with the changes of the rules

[igormorais]

can't touch the legs?!? only armlocks and chokes? Jesus they really killed the art

[jxaby]

Thank you so much. I watch but have had no idea what they were talking about.

[odanne]

I am a ju-jitsu ka (Japan), and i love Judo too..

[jimmyalderson]

Are you allowed to do different grips 'neutrally" in that, you're not intending to throw immediately but also don't use the grip to block your opponent?

[josephkohn]

"Why would you ignore 50% of the body?"

[zoltanm]

If they bring back the yuko and leg grabs, I'll come back to Judo

[breannestahlman]

1:06 Each fight is 2 mn, then in certain level competitions and at semi finals or finals, it coud last 4 mn.

[kristianOLS]

I liked the older video better, but I guess this works with the cuts given the rule changes.

Personal opinion time 2 yuko does not equal wazari, the gripping restrictions introduced are worse and the previous rules were better, leg grab should not be a shido or hansokomake

[SK-uufg]

For people who are complaining about the "no leg touch" rule, i wanna point out that Greco-Roman wrestling also prohibits grabbing the legs. So, do you think that makes the G-R form worse and more watered-down than the freestyle form?

Thats a legit question btw. I dont have much grappling experience so I'm curious what people think about it.

I was on the mats in the 60's since age 9, trained with the very best in the world for well over 33 years. Was a 5th dan Judo, 6th dan Jujitsu by the time I was 34. 70's and 80's rules were IMHO fantastic. But there was disease and corrupt politics within the sport, and I quit Judo entirely and closed my club because of the stupid rule changes the IJF imposed to Judo, literally STEALING a huge chunk of SAFE techniques in the lexicon of Judo. The problem was not the techniques... it was IDIOTS teaching BAD technique pretending they knew how to coach when they didn't, IDIOTS pretending they knew how to officiate when they didn't, and in the process GREAT judoka were seriously hurt - THIS is what IJF SHOULD have addressed, instead: They chose the lazy mans path!

[thejoojoo]

Does anybody know a Sensei that teaches old school Judo ?

[Sr.D]

Not for me, Olympics and ijf are ruining judo.
