Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
How about throws #1, 3, 4, & 5?

So what exactly is your experience with Judo? I might have missed this but do you actually train in this art? Sanjuro has extensive experience and when the man says you don't want to be in that position I take his word for it. Maybe that's because I don't argue with people that have way more experience than I do.
Maybe I"m insane though.
Everything I've been taught in JJJ matches up to what Sanjuro has said. Keep on laying down those words of wisdom!
Well, you tell me the better alternative, if there is one, because I'm not seeing it.
Also, since the arm slap is also good for keeping beginners from getting pinned and "holding" is a more advanced thing that comes latter, maybe you could also explain why you rarely see beginners using the slap method in competition either.
