I think it would have been a better evolution that the modern sport judo. Either that or they need to get rid of the newaza time limits. It's such a waste of skill development when they do that. And WTF is up with no leg attacks?! I still haven't figured that one out.
    I bet that within our lifetime we'll see leg attacks and more freedom for Newaza in the official ruleset. The modern rules really are for the spectators, so as spectators expectations change, so will the rules.

    Throws are good. Throws are fun. Properly executed throws can set you up for the ground game. I've been all about throws lately. And leg picks...
    And all that other good wrestling goodness.

    Call it judo, shuai jiao, jiu jutsu or wrestling, it's all good.
