Between 2009 and 2010 the International Judo Federal (IJF) ruled to ban from use some of the most highly effective judo throws in it’s arsenal.
We understand the importance of player safety. However, we feel this move is unwise because it causes judo to appear less effective as a formidable and practical self-defense system.
The techniques are:
Gokyo:
Sukui Nage
Utsuri Goshi (borderline – due to risk of holding uke below the belt line)
Kata Guruma
Obi Otoshi
Ushiro Goshi (borderline – due to risk of holding uke below the belt line)
Ura Nage (borderline – due to risk of holding uke below the belt line)
Hikikomi Gaeshi
Shinmeisho No Waza:
Morote Gari
Kuchiki Taoshi
Kibisu Gaeshi
Kani Basami
Kawazu Gake
Look carefully at this demo of the forbidden techniques. Think of the millions who’ve turned to BJJ, sport jujitsu, submission wrestling, sambo and other systems because they haven’t seen the full scope of judo’s effectiveness.
