everything wrote:the guy in black was judo 3 dan? i thought red was actually winning most of the takedowns before the accident.
Yeah it seems that way. I too had figured the guy in red was the judoka but it turns out he was a BJJ guy.
On another forum guys are arguing that if the guy in red had done more judo perhaps this wouldn't have happened.
I agree with JW that as soon as you have 400 pounds in the air if you fall wrong something is going to break. Sacrifice type throws are still among my favorite, but at the competition level or in a fight they can be dangerous if the other guy tries to fight the throw too much. But that's always the risk you take in competitions...
