I like a lot of the new competition rules as it will make for a cleaner more competitive judo. Although I do feel that removal of leg grab once on the ground so that you can turnover into ne waza is a bit too much. I just feel for the refs who have to make the split second decision as to whether it is leg grab or not. Might have been nice to have 1 shido and then hansukemake but there we are....competition rules are just that.

To bad they aren't the ones making the rules.

What about the option of having very short judogi pants. Like Sambo shorts. Is there a reason the IJF opted out of that? From what little I've seen of sambo, it seems they rarely attack the legs, especially coming from strong freestyle wrestling countries that can probably do a quick shot. No gi friction, lack of grips, that has to help prevent a reliance on leg attacks and would have to prevent ugly ones.

That wouldn't prevent people from using the leg grab as a stalling technique which is the legitimate reason behind the rule.

I agree with Jonesy on this. I also teach the full syllabus, and would not exclude a technique because it was banned in competition. I try to remember which things are no longer allowed, but have to admit that I sometimes struggle with the rule changes.
It does however seem to me that as many of my old mates predicted, we are rapidly getting 2 styles of judo Kodokan(what some call traditional judo) and competition judo.
Always remember the original startrek where Scotty used to say:Its life(replace with judo) Jim, But not as we know it.!!

Have you had a close look at most veteran judoka's purple-spotted, scarred legs? Exposing our crusty, twisted yellow feet is bad enough. My dermatologist always asks me "what the heck happened to your shins? Then he remembers our previous annual checking and freezing sessions ... "oh yeah ... you are a judo guy..."
P.S. - what happened to the puking smiley. Our new member, Chunky "Greg" Jung resembled that one earlier this evening. Will he quit smoking ... I dunno ... but it's a beautiful shade of green he turned.

In that case, ban drop seoinage, sumi gaeshi and tomoe nage, as they all get used for that far far more often.

I bet it would help reduce alot of it. It would eliminate many of the actual 'grabs' and friction to where the 'defender' would be much less hindered in his game and the 'shooter' more sillier. Gi pants are so soft and moist and pliable, a judokas touch is usually instant clasp and lock and that changes the game slightly but significantly. Actual fakes or even attempts would require much more effort. No more just tap, grab and lift from the top or side of knee/leg pant to lift or drop. You would generally have to commit deeper level drops and penetration which would require more effort and be alot more obvious and embarrassing if used as a stalling tactic. Shorts would allow low attacks opportunity but at the same time a little more advantage to the 'defender' to still be offensive.
I think it'd be worth a shot to try with a buddy that complains alot about no low attacks. Go old school in shorts and gi top and see. He goes low and slaps my slippery leg for not even 1 lb of kuzushi and I'll SMASH him!! "Ippon Smiley".lol
Or, we could make gi pants as thick as gi tops.lol

This x1000!
The amount of instances of a half-assed tomoe nage I have seen lately is astounding.

So we need MORE rules making more techniques illegal, LOL. You guys crack me up.
BTW, I think the latest installment of totally banning touching below the belt is overboard.

It's a rhetorical advice: take a point to its logical conclusion to show how ridiculous it is.

Reducto ad absurdum
Hence the cracking up part.

I don't think anything should be banned.

The reason why Japanese are not winning as many medals is the advancement of worldwide judo.
It's an interesting cycle. At first, the Japanese reigned supreme. Then, to catch up, the Europeans/Russians introduced intensive conditioning and training methods, unorthodox "techniques" etc to close the gap. Finally, with time, the world caught up technically to the Japanese, and that plus the modern training methods closed the gap all the way.
Along the way, the IJF (d)evolved into a modern sports organization whose primary purpose is to make money as part of the Olympic (and modern commercial sports) movement.
Anybody else see the irony in changing the rules to remove all the technical strategies used by the West to help overcome Japanese dominance?

Well still want to use the Gokyo in competition? There's always Sambo and its not uncommon for judo competitors to do both Sambo and Judo competitions.
