CK thanks very much. The book is actually affordable, so I could organize to buy it, then find a person to translate for me. However ... to be honest I'm not sure it's actually that important for me to go to the trouble. I don't suppose you or someone else could make a few more comments, or give a brief summary?
Some points that spring to my mind, on which these contests differ: Do they award koka? How long are osaekomi? Do you think they typically allow longer time to show progress in newaza? Do they allow kani-basami, or other JFA-banned waza? Are leg-grabs allowed anytime anyway? Are there any gripping restrictions? and/or ... ?
