Judo

[MightyB]

Judo is not just Kodokan Judo, that is based more on throws and pins then submissions.
There is Kosen that is 90% submission work, but the truth is they don't compete that much in submission grappling...

I'm with the mainstream Judo-ers that believe that modern Kosen is- well- a myth. It's true that the old school Kosen players in Japan were accomplished at newaza and were able to thus nullify their size handicap against the big Tokyo guys, but the Kodokan or should I say, Tokyo Judo Clubs took care of that with one of their famous rule changes "for the good of Judo". There is no Kosen style of Judo... it was just a regional preference for NeWaza... a loophole that allowed smaller guys to compete against bigger guys.

Don't forget for once that Judo is political... very very political with strategic rule changes that always seem to benefit the makers of the rules.
