No disrespect but no I don't read every post you make and I don't read every thread. I've got better things to do with my time and I only read the one that look interesting to me.
That's why I asked the question, it was an honest one. Yes obviously there are more dangerous techniques that aren't used in competition.
My point in my teachers in BJJ and in Judo also know and do Jujitsu and Combat Sambo, so yes some judoka are still learning the deadly stuff. But if your whole focus is on competition (although mine is not) then you're probably not going to bother and if someone doesn't bother to learn the other techniques who really cares?
Most competitors would do well in a street fight. Will they win everytime? No, but that's the nature of the beast. I just don't get this whole hang up about judo being watered down because a lot of people aren't learning the hardcore deadly secrets of Jujitsu. Because unless you can dodge bullets you should really focus on staying out of street fights.
No disrespect taken.
I am glad some Judoka are still learning the complete package, even the moves not allowed in competition. My point is simply that when a person focuses solely on competition training that there will be moves that are perfectly capable of being used effectively in self defense that will not be trained, and that it is illogical to assume that those moves are not effective.
