i enjoy doing some judo but in the interest of "whole body" stuff, sometimes it feels more efficient to simply push your partner or opponent face down. this makes sense in other rulesets or with no rules, e.g. would be good in push hands or sumo or self defense. however, in these particular rules, you get no points for this. so some options might be:
- push down and reset
- push down as a fake to something else
- push down and initiate groundwork, more of a bjj game - who cares what the takedown is, just go for sub. if someone just does the stupid judo turtle, this is where i wish i had more bjj game so i could hand out some punishment.
- something else entirely
for a while i've just abandoned this opportunity to try other stuff but now I think that's stupid. might as well do it. what do you do or recommend? does shuai jiao have this same must-throw-to-back rule?
