I doubt Judo is the number 2 sport in the world :P but with the current growt in europ it wont be long!

there are about 7 clubs in Amsterdam alone, each having around 400 to 600 members.. :D

Judo saiko!!

Quote from the IJF (International Judo Federation)

"....Practiced today by millions of individuals, judo is undoubtedly the most popular combat sport in the world. In terms of sheer numbers of participants, judo is the second most popular sport of any sport, soccer being number one. In terms of national organizations worldwide..."

[bobcheese427]

judo is the most popular sport in the world not 2nd. 2nd is football

[celtichild]

the heading was "played" sport in the world as far as popular...you be the judge.

@Superapplefrog one more thing... what you call "striking" martial arts were developed and improved in and outside the battlefield for decades if not centuries. So, I think they know what a real fight is. ;-) PS: all martial arts share the same principles andd the arts you call "striking arts" have locks and take downs too. Cheers! PSS: it's the martial artist and not the art who is good or bad. All martial arts are good. :-D

@Superapplefrog sorry but you are wrong about the multiple attacks. First for methodological purposes the attacher at the time is used but the multiple attacher at the same time is taught and practised too when possible. Of course, for geometrical reasons to have a huge number of attackers and a few is the same (many ppl cannot attack at the same time).

pretty sick

@celtichild Mate i only practised judo shortly ( i got my orange belt today (cheer) but im pretty sure Judo isn't the 2nd most practised sport in the world and its also not the most practised / played combat sport / martial art that's tae-kwon-do how crazy as it sounds but im pretty sure the most player/ practised sport is bowling then soccer and im pretty sure its not judo after that but im not sure about that if im wrong excuse me

[wolfrox777]

Wow i didn't know judo was the 2nd most played sport in the world! I thought it was actually a small sport but i'm not surprised its not!

[cdawggx]

dude this was great....simply great

@InnovationHero i dont know where this misconception about striking arts being better for multiple opponent situations? the truth is if your fighting mulitple opponents your probally going to lose. striking against mulitple opponents will only work if you have the room to evade but its more likley that you wont have the required room and will end up being clinched then what? thats where grappling comes in.

gotta love Tumo-Nagi :D

[Superapplefrog]

@InnovationHero I see what you're saying, but not necessarily - depends how the other attackers react when you just lobbed their heavy mate into the concrete :-) ...though in general it's maybe not that good for multiple attacks but in other arts, they teach supposed multiple attacks which are really 1-on-1 attacks in quick succession, unlike a real fight

[clokedbigman]

well its most commonly known as the flying armbar
