Judo by 2050: Only Ippon Seoi Nage is allowed to make the sport explosive and attractive

Imagine years of training Reverse Seoinage only to be nerfed by IJF

Reverse seoinage 😰

With the exception of rule number 12, which really is a very dangerous situation, all the others are ridiculous!!! They're ending judo!! We are losing more and more space to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which has modernized and is much clearer to understand and much more inclusive. Jigoro Kano has always strived for excellence and that's why he created judo, including his practical and philosophical ideas and you guys are spoiling our beloved sport.

6:10 - Continuation Of Techniques 8:17 - Waza-ari Landing 1 10:51 - Waza-ari Landing 2 11:33 - Landing On Elbows Or Hands 12:45 - Rollover Counter Techniques 14:20 - Reverse Seoi Nage 15:05 - Gripping Under The Belt In The End Phase 16:47 - Lapel And Collar Grip 17:40 - Unconventional 18:20 - Gripping Breaking Penalties 19:00 - Arranging of the Judogi And Hair 20:20 - Head Diving

My complaints: ---The ban of the reverse seoi nage is a complete non sense in and of itself. But furthermore, are the referees really gonna be able to tell the difference between a reverse seoinage and a missed sode tsuri komi goshi? Often times the difference is subtle, especially with drop throws. ---Are you really gonna give no score to that Uchi-mata counter attack? Then what risk am i really taking when committing to an uchi-mata? At best i am gonna get a score and in the worst case scenario i will only have to defend myself on the ground. ---This is a minor complaint but: how many times are you going to change the requirements for a fit judogi? Just do an effective study already and set for the correct lengths and measures once and for all. Sorry for the rant and bitterness but i felt like expressing my honest opinions.

Jumping arm bars, korean seoi, rolling counters, leg grabs, standing armlocks, "gerbi choke", "unorhodox" grips... what else? List is long. Banning techniques is not way to go. There are many judo techniques we dont see anymore and its killing judo from evolving.

As a competitor and coach, I was looking forward to a video explaining the reasoning behind the rules. I know and watch enough videos to spot examples, why is the reasoning inaccessible? IJF, what do I need to read or watch to understand the reasoning?

Not gonna lie some of these new rules are completely nonsense.

These guys have fucked up judo so much. “To make to sport more attractive to watch,…” they’ve done the complete opposite. They made it more complex and boring to watch. Who tf comes up with these new rules all the time?!

One of the best BJJ promotional videos I've ever seen. Good stuff IJF.

I would like to know the reason for penalizing reverse seoi nage as would a lot of the viewers, because it seems as a just plain stupid decision.

What is the justification behind the disallowing of reverse seoinl nage getting a score?

each time there are more prohibitions, let's make a contactless sport like aikido, prohibit the most spectacular technique in judo, we need to think of doing it. Need to make a petition, or circulate the hashtag #BackReverseSeioNage

I like when they say this groups of grips are not traditional but leg grabbing used to be traditional and they no longer allow it anymore

How democratic is Judo? Who are they to decide? What about the vast majority of judoka that have nothing to say about that? Who is judo for? Is it for the elites or for millions of judoka all over the world? Or is it for some PR people that dictate what they want? Removing possibilities to score makes our sport even more boring, we've seen it at the Tokyo Olympics, watching judo is almost as boring as watching football. This development started in 2009 with the ban of leg grabs.

6:10技の継続について 8:17どのように着くのが技ありか1 10:51どのように着くのが技ありか2 11:33投げられたあと手をついたり肘をついたりするとお尻と手しか畳についていないけど技あり＆指導 12:45内股等のめくりはノースコア 14:20韓国背負いはノースコア＆指導 15:05技のおわりには帯より下を握ってもよい 16:47背部や両襟で頭を潰されても指導にならない 17:40片襟、クロスグリップ、ピストルグリップ、ポケットグリップ等は攻撃の瞬間のみ認める 18:20釣り手(襟)を切ると指導、引き手(袖)はセーフ？ 19:00待ての間に道着と髪を直さなければ指導 20:20ヘッドダイビング反則負け

This is why after over a decade of Judo, I moved over to BJJ. I stopped 5 years ago because of what was happening to the sport, and then I see this video come up on my feed and knew that I made the right decision. Judo was simple when I started as a kid. Use good technique to get an opponent to the ground and either pin or submit them and if you were passive, you got a penalty. Honestly I don't think I could come back to Judo as I would just be penalised for anything I did which is such a shame as I fell in love with the sport all those years ago. Judo will gradually die out with how the IJF handle the sport

-Reverse seoi nage complete nonsense, failed sode is much more dangerous -judogi measurements are every year different its really ridiculous - ruining the sport, more people will transfer to brazilian jiu jitsu because sport is evolving

The ban on reverse Seo is upsetting

About Decision # 6: I can't understand why the IJF has banned the Reverse Seoinage. They should explain, give a logical reason and a clear answer, what criteria has been used to penalize it? The statistics do not show that it is a dangerous technique. There are no reasonable statistics to support this decision, judokas are not injured (both when applying it and when being thrown). Since Judo was created, Morote gari existed and up to 8 years before the Beijing Olympic Games, the leg grip became very popular as a very effective form of throwing, most countries used it and won many gold medals. With this, after Beijing it was banned and with it its variants disappeared (Kata guruma, kuchiki taoishi, kubisu gaeshi and others), the IJF said that the Morote Gari and Kata guruma was very confused with the launches of wrestling and Sambo and was lost the judo part, I remember that was the explanation. Many years ago (since the 70s) the Kani-Basami (flying scissors) had already been banned because it could spoil the legs of the uke, there was even a very popular case in Japan in the 80s that involved Saito and Yamashita (who was injured)....But to ban and penalize Reverse Soinage, it seems to me that it does not make sense, an explanation with credible statistics and easy to verify is necessary.

Judo in 2022: you can only look at your opponent because if you touch him he could get hurt

Is there somewhere to read the reasonings for the new decisions? Specifically the reverse seoi, and shido for not falling flat on the back. Reverse seoi isn't an unstoppable, foolproof way of winning every match, there is clear and obvious counterplay and a risk to throwers own hands, so it seems reasonable to keep. Applying a shido for stopping an ippon seems strange as well. Uke is already giving away a score via waza-ari - why penalize them as well? I like the gripping changes, and the weigh in times.

I was hoping for leg grips and throws being allowed again, but again Judo is the only martial art that removes techniques instead of adding and innovating. I miss doing kata guruma...

So now basically, if you do bad judo throwing yourself in a bad attack like low makikomi is more attractive than a standing Reverse seoi nage? Why advantage those who dive down to make opponents look passive? I really don’t get the point in limitings techniques and Judoka’s creativity… IJF IS EVIL.

Confusing rules. I can predict most of the fights will be decided on video analysis. Shame on you IJF 😔

Decisão da FIJ Decisão 1: Técnicas contínuas - 6:13 Decisão 2, 3 e 4: Waza-ari (o que é e o que não é + shidô) - 8:16 - 11:30 Decisão 5: Revertida - 12:43 Decisão 6: Seoi reverso - 14:17 Decisão 7: Ne-waza (ou não) - 15:04 Decisão 8 e 9: Kumi-kata - 16:45 - 18:18 Decisão 10: Briga de pegada - 18:19 Decisão 11: Arrumar Judogui e amarrar cabelo - 18:59 Decisão 12: Apoio da cabeça p/ técnica - 20:18

I can understand the reasoning behind some of the rules but some of them clearly have no discernible reason for the change. Looking forward to the reason for the reverse seio-nage ban.

Не зря Ан Чангрим бросил дзюдо🤦🏻‍♂️

Je comprend pas pourquoi interdire les reverse soei nage. Ces techniques font partie de l’ADN du style de judo de plusieurs personnes, je pense notamment aux koréens. Surtout qu’aux fils, le reverse est devenu l’une des plus belles techniques à voir et est devenu très populaire chez jeunes. La vidéo ne nous explique nullement pourquoi l’interdire. Et je ne parle même pas des contre de uchi-mata qui sont l’une des meilleures punitions dans le monde du judo

Clear reasons why ijf should not hold power over the teachings of judo. And more reasons why more alternative federations and groups of judo should compete for attention of traditional judo teachings in their own tournament styles.

No counter uchi mata 🤯🤯🤯

Sometimes the IJF makes me not want to do Judo anymore.

A bunch of bureaucrats are killing judo. You mustn't hide behind Jigoro Kano's images because your ijf judo is a pale shadow of his judo!

Killing innovation in the sport.

In regards to the two hand landing, penalty and score, has there ever been a situation in previous rule sets where penalty was given and score awarded for the same action? I'm obviously not referring to situations where two separate actions occurred, such as a clear score and an eye poke

Unfortunately it seems to be mainly things being taken away again. This time it’s the reverse seionage. What is next?

What about the Sode-Techniques, especially in the sometimes assimilated style of Hashimoto? There would be kind if evidence for injuries and Uke is often not able to react properly...from the first kind of view, not too much sense can be found in the actual changes...

If i had a company that in each four years they changing the path of the firm they would be fire on the spot. To much incompetence always changing the rules and to worst. Soccer had is rules almost unchanged for more than 100 years.

"We want to make judo more attractive, that's why we are banning reverse seoi nage" 😑

Some rules do make sense, but there are others that I personally don't see their purpose. IJF is making judo attractive to watch for non-Judokas but non-attractive for judokas

Is there a place that we can download this video? Thank you!

I miss the old throws involving leg grabs. :(

no reverse seoi nage?? IJF you should clarify the reason why you changed the rule.

The majority of the new rules are ridiculous and useless. What is the problem with reverse seoi-nage?

Is the Ole Bisschoff style reverse seoi nage also banned? I see only examples of the Korean style reverse seoi nage in this video.

did the ijf give any definition of what counts as a reverse seoi nage by now? the differences between reverse seoi and sode tsuri komi goshi can be somewhat fluid...

reverse seoi nage ruling with absolutely no explanation, sounds about right

So in case of hair or judogi re-arrangement: if your gi is wide open or long hair is all over the place, are you still not allowed to re-arrange it without shido? Are you supposed to fight the rest of the match like that? Or will it be ruled by the referee that you need to re-arrange them without shido? I'd think it was everyone's best interest if the hair or gi aren't flailing around freely. Of course it's a chance to rest, but it's better for the technique and competition if the secondary things aren't messing with the judo.

Taking oit the reverse seo nagi is sad.. and what about bridging?

Allright I can get behind that the video should be as short as possible, but will there be a written statement behind these changes? Reverse Seoi-Nage? Really? And whats up with Decision 11 regarding Judogi / Hair adjustment ONCE? U know u cant predict if the jacked will become undone or hair fixers breaks during the match right? Thats especially for woman players.

Question: do these rule changes apply for British Judo Association rules?? Or only international competitions?

what is the "soccataki" that Neil Adams is referring to in judogi control?

If it continues like this, BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) will be accepted by more people than Judo, IJF

I do seoi nage and my opponent goes on the other side what I suppose to do. Pls someone answer

Thanks 😊

Head diving was already banned but shohei was never penalozed

19:00 What if referee asks the competitor to adjust his judogi or hair second time? Is it still shido?

Does decision 7 mean Kata Guruma with leg grab is legal again?

I don't understand the ban of the reverse seoi nage. Ok, I wouldn't like it as uke myself since it seems a bit tricky, but I find it efficient, giving clear ippons, so it's Judo. IJF should have explained why it's dangerous so you can understand this new rule. On the opposite, I like the end of the rolling counter, which seemed very artificial, very often with no force at all in the contact.

I stopped training judo in 2006. Today's judo doesn't have much in common with the traditional judo I knew. That all changed in 2012, when the IjF federation introduced dramatic laws prohibiting grabbing legs in a stand-up collar. (Morote gari, Te guruma, etc.) This was to help the Japanese, who had problems defending these techniques. And then I thought that it is impossible to spoil my beloved discipline more... Politics is even in sports

Congratulations, IJF! You guys are killing Judo. We can't do motore gari anymore, we can't do te guruma, anymore. Now this! YOU GUYS ARE KILLING JUDO!

How about hair grab?

What happens in the past to do this?

I've seen a lot of people here saying that they will go to BJJ due to all the banned throws. That is not a smart desition. Judo competition has problems but changing to a ruleset that allows to cowardly evade the takedown phase of the match (guard pulling) is not the solution. I do both Judo and BJJ but when I compete in BJJ even when the rules allowed me to do all the existent Judo throws my oponents put their butts on the mat in just a few seconds once the match started. Go to BJJ if you want to do more submissions but if you want to do more throws something like sambo will be a better option.

More than feeling personally attacked, I feel like the judo as a whole is loosing it's roots gradually. I can understand that a sport needs to evolve (even more when it comes to regulate real danger) but saying that you change the rules for medias is inexcusable to me. We don't need fights to look like a kata demonstration and killing creativity will lead to less dynamic to me. I really fell in love with this sport 10 years ago and I'm feeling like it's not the same anymore. It really makes me sad.

I think it's stupid to penalize arranging the judogi. So now all I have to do is pull up my opponents gi and he is getting penalized afterwards

What was wrong with so great Korean seoi nage technic????? - decision 6. Decision 5 is also not clear - not allowed to counter roll tori after his throw attempt 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ If in the direction of the attempt it would be understandable but if in opposite direction???? You guys deny defending from Uchi Mata?

I just started practicing Judo, but I knew this comment section would be fun lol 🤣

Kani basami had a legitimate reason for banning: lots of knees were injured when the thrower pulled the weight of uke on one leg resulting the "scissoring" of the knee. You can see and hear this on camera in the Yamashita vs Endo fight in the all Japan a long time ago. Reverse Seoi nage however doesn't really cause injuries I've literally never seen an injury occur in competition Judo where the reason was reverse seoi nage therefore the ban is completely unreasonable and counterproductive to their goal of making Judo more appealing to spectators as the reverse seoi nage is one of the most flashy throws out there few people can perform

Pourquoi annuler les reverse seoi nage 😕

Why is Reverse-Seoinage forbidden now? Is it considered dangerous?

These New rules Just kill the judoka spirit inside the millions of athletes around the world, you can't just change the traditional rules just besause your ambitions, so disappointed

Bhot badiya sir Sab samjgyaaa ❤️❤️❤️👍👍

Дзюдо Мой любимый вид спорта

I just cant believe how cheap a wazari is now. Is it still 2 wazari for ippon

I find a few extremely confusing, would hate to be a ref l, I dont understand why putting your hands or elbows down makes any difference as your scored against or out anyway, is it for safety or to hold on and try and be seen to transition into a counter?, and the fixing of the belt and hair is very ambiguous in this explanation without the rest of understanding, does it mean you just carry on with everything dangling, I'm fine with that but I don't want to be penalised for stuff hanging out, and does the ref stopping the fight to ask you to refit a second time give you a penalty?? Or is it if matte is called and you refix yourself the second time that creates the penalty?,if hair drops and matte is called for no newaza solution a second time and you leave it alone hanging down, do u get a penalty or just carry on without fixing it? I need to find more explanation like was given in "allowed tech and then for clarity the the disallowed tech from similar position in this video. And thats apart from everything else, just saying,I respect Neil Adams immensely, I think him explaining the best he can doesn't mean he agrees with everything either, I get the thinking on dynamism and creating exciting action for the layman cos I love BJJ but compared to Judo it's like watching paint dry, (I do both so I can have an opinion on it), I know people don't like change but sometime it's not always for the better, I'm still stuck on the last rule change, I know teguruma has been banned for attack but I'm still wondering if it's allowed in a counter, I though kataguruma was banned but I see it all the time in IJF comp, maybe I'm not studying enough or missing some rule changes, I get the head diving, some people have ended up paraplegic, (Inc someone I was acquainted with R.I.P. btw,), I'm glad I still go to non IJF clubs whereby some of the banned non dangerous IJF tech is still allowed at club level. Either way, Judo is an extraordinary life journey and an amazing sport,, peace 🙏👍

I hope that competition organisers are prepared for Long drawn out matches as most if not all will go to video referee decisions which will take time to decide on tho decision.

The ban on reverse seoi nage is outrageous and stupid.

could any body explain about the decision 9? it's favor

Mucha confusión. El no score del 10:38 parece score de acuerdo al ejemplo que ya habían explicado.

Not a single positive comment about IJF. We should boycott their broadcasts.

Why is a Reverse Seoi Nage a Shido and no Score??? Can anybody explain it to me?

On 11 arranging judogi or hair: I understand referees from now won't ask athletes to arrange the gi when is all out of the belt? -not sure about the reverse seoi nage, more understandable the rolling counter.

Yo de por si llegue al judo cuando ya habian eliminado los agarres de las piernas (la formas mas facil he intuitiva de derribar a una persona, independientemente del deporte del que hablemos), ahora eliminan el reverse... yo digo, la gracia no es enseñarle Judo a las nuevas generaciones y que el conocimiento pase de una a otra?... sinceramente cro que cada ves se enseña menos, el conocimiento se pierde y al menos a mi entender es contraproducente. La verdad una lastima.

No more reverse seoi nage :'( one of the most beautiful to watch when executed well. Must be because of safety concerns?

Head diving is the only one that makes sense but the rest, come on IJF! They are just useless, the belt and hair thing I see why but the judoka should be allowed to take off their belt or do up their hair if needed as many times needed to. The reverse seo why?? Unconventional grips, that rule was already a thing I’ve heard many of times of the penalising of unconventional grips so why say it again? The colar, lapel grip again it was kinda a thing and the went with all grips if you are active in throwing you won’t be penalised. Another one was continuation of techniques that was a thing already i don’t know why they have to point it out. The Judogi doesn’t make sense just make up your mind and shut up about it. The weighing times I don’t worry about as it doesn’t affect me really. The rolling counter makes 0 sense uchi mata and some other throws need this counter and now you don’t get a score in preventing it rolling over their back, it sounds like the continuation of techniques but doesn’t follow it?? The 90 degrees is stupid now u can get 2 horrible throws and win now? Judo is becoming worse and worse every time they come out these new rules or regulations. I don’t think judo will be like it was in the 90s even though there was a bit less media on it.

Can we stop removing things from judo ?

Reverse seoi is cool and effective. Unnecessary ban

So... seoi got nerfed while uchi-mata is nearly impossible to punish, at the same time grip fighting just got more messy and nonsensical while Ono's fighting style is a winner by default because the new rules say so. The reasoning behind all this: unknown. You have to love the IJF 🙄🤦‍♂️

RIP Korean Judo 😢

Most of these are silly… I’m not even sure I follow the statement about unconventional grips. The implication there seems to be “proper judo is only done from the traditional grips” Which… definitely seems like overt regression rather than active evolution of rules to support new tactics. Also obligatory booing at the death of reverse seoi.

Parem de querer limitar o judô a todo custo! Vocês estão destruindo uma arte marcial completa! PÉSSIMA FEDERAÇÃO

Brilliant! But division 4 and division 12 are not so well considered. We need hands to protect ourselves to avoid falling on the back and vice versa, used for throwing the opponent on the back (At the same time if restraining oneself with the hands is automatically the score, why is it waza-ari and not ippon? Especially when the movement tends to fall flat. In this case, is it not better to think about returning Juko? All sports are somewhat dangerous (if someone does not want to be in danger, he/she can go in the other direction). Therefore the decision should be made directly by the judoka and head diving should not be penalized with hansoku-make (for prevention it can be punished with only Shido).

We need 2004 rule

If head diving is not allowed and passive to hansokumake, so uranague should be as per you are back head diving your opponent

What an utter disappointment! Can wait for seminar to hear reasoning behind this desisions. The one about reverse seoinage above all else!

Se tiver traduzido e alguém poder indicar eu agradeço
