the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

looks like young pups sparring with an wily old fox to me

It's interesting to see the old master move, particularly after watching yesterday European judo comp in Tel-Aviv.

There's about 8 hours worth of the comp here, this is from the last day (28/04), other two days available too.

Impossible to know, but would be great to see how the old master would fare against current champs, even in his own weight category.

give it some time
i am sure there will be contributors who will tell us all how modern fighters and
there more effective training methods will make short work of old masters.

I know very little about judo and I am not interested in sports. But I’ve read several people stating that the old Judo was a much better and more complete art before it turned completely into sports. Tai Chi and IMA haven’t completely been destroyed yet, but I suppose it’s just a question of a few generations....

Unified heart.
No necessary movement.
Superb skills!
