I have the solution! Keep leg grabs , but dont award a score for them! That way, you can still go for a pin and people will also discover the forgotten aspects of judo!

This new rule is very disappointing as it shows we judokas are just a bunch of cowards. We are basically telling the world that "Oh since we can't defend against leg attacks, so we just make rules in our competitions to avoid them" ... PATHETIC!

Ever wonder why BJJ is much more "effective" and popular for combat applications? Because they don't cry...and whinge... they learn & adapt.

I really dont want to see judo one day become what Tae Kwon Do has become, a pseudo martial art for sissys..

These new rules absolutely suck...judo was never intended to limit the use of bringing someone to the ground...short of striking, any way you take someone to the ground should be legal...the easterners need to expand their minds instead of limiting potential

With new rules like these, and monkeying about with grips, it's starting to become only a short, thin hop from judo to aikido -- where you can marvel at your artistry while the real combat sports mock you from a far distance.

At least sambo is keeping it real.

dude, leg grappling is not completely banned, though I agree with new rules because westerners used to use just muscle while doing Judo, and what judo is really meant to be(as a sport) is a sport of technique.

If you dont like the new rules, go weight lifting...

Judo is not a fight but a art . If a art become ugly cause of efficacy it must be cleaned from junk moves .

Bruce Lee moves are so elegant compared to MMA efficacy - the reason is for a spiritual , elegant technique . I agree with new rules .

@lilhonki I agree with you. The same thing that happened with TAEKWONDO in the Olympics will happen with Judo if these news rules become the norm!.... Garbage, sorry if anyone gets offended. The new Rules got to go! A throw is a throw no matter how it came to happen. Just like a puck or kick is just a punch or kick! If it works for you, use it. That is why I respect Brazilian Martial Artist, they take any art and use it to it's fullest form and then some...

1. All of your "boring" clips are from the leg grab era.

2. Leg grabs are still legal. Just not retard-style.

3. The ever lowering standard for ippon is a much bigger problem than leg grabs.

[Petskuri]

 you have a clear opinion... i think allmost everybody liked old rules

[judokevin001]

Im sorry but I dont like the new rules. I have been fighting for over 30 years and now half of my throws have been band. Im sure Im not the only old judoka to feel this way.

[PULLUP09]

I think the new rules are good. Remember! It is still allowed to use leg attacks as a counter or combination. And if you all look at other teqniques then te guruma and kata guruma etc you will find a lot of nice trows. The old judo is back! Thats very good.

Well I'm not going to sound like a child throwing a fit. I have more of a problem with the grips. No more body locks,over the shoulder grips and shit like that.
