I agree 100%.
yOU need to spar to feel what it is like to fight with force, get tired, get a little banged up, and still have to fight because the other guy has not been subdued yet.
It is not...
Another sherdogger eh?
I knew your avatar was firmiliar!
small world.
LOL, can, can you say that? LOL
But seriously, the same martial art changes from school to school and the training of that art changes from school to school.
Find a place that trains like you...
I know what O'sensei means when he states that competition can bring out the worst in people. Some will do any thing to get ahead, and sink to some dissappointing lows. Competition to a large extent...
Thank you for the explaination! Very detailed and informative.
I think I perfer the old rules of judo. This helps clear up some things like how some people bring up how Judo has changed to not...
Well, I gotta give Delucia this, he is battle tested. He has fought a few times in the UFC, and many MANY times in Pancrase in Japan (against some legends in MMA like Masakatsu Funaki, Bas Rutten,...
What are the All-Japan tournament rules? I have heard that the legendary tournament (once the greatest tournement in Judo) had different rules.
Not happy to hear about Chiyonofuji. My favorite wrestler. Rumors like that can ruin a legends reputation. I would love to have some proof one way or the other. I would hate for a legend to be...

It does take away from the sport, but exactly what percentage of the bouts did they estimate were fixed?

WHo was the Greatest?
Here are some of the candidates I figure (though you may think it is some one I left out). I have put some of their records from a book of mine that was published in 1998....
I would have to say my favorite sumotori of all time, and I will admit I am not a history buff but I have read up some some of the greats, has to be the Chiyonofuji.
BUilt like a brick house,...
I heard about the scandal of fight fixing in Sumo, but not that the two sumotori that came forward died suspiciously.

It is pretty bad when there has not been a post in the past month!
I am no Sumo buff, but I have tried to learn about the art in a couple books. One was a general book about the history,...
I am did not make any comments about how that organization views themselves. I did visit that site, and it did not give any details about the competitions. Am I right? very brief.
As for the...
A little harsh wouldn't you say chap? Spouting dogma? Don't even want to get near competition?
Your reaching alittle.
I read Aikido did not have competitions as this was against the...
SO Turnbull's work on The history of the ninja is fairly weak then? That is dissapointing. I am not looking for an instructional book, nor a book that shows lineages, but a book that discribes and...
I briefly mentioned Stephen Turnbull's books on Ninjutsu and the ninja, and my interest to track a copy down (they are hard to fine in stores).
One poster stated I might be let down when I...
I don't see why Aikido could not be effective in live situations. I would recommend some cross training for striking, but if some one grabs an Aikidoka, they are going to feel some pain follow.

Look, this whole post seems to revolve around me. While I appreciate what the original poster was trying to do, it seems only the opposite was achieved. More bickering about BS.
I can see I have...

Maybe we do come from different environments. In Canada, if a dude calls you out and you don't fight you look like a punk. Now sucker punching and guys getting jump happen good and plenty, but there...
If we are talking about fights, most of the ones I have seen take place IN the bar are broken up quick. I was not talking about fighting on the ground IN the bar. At that time you ussually just get a...
Reading this thread I was gettin' a little frustrated with what seemed like a lot of non-grapplers comming up with reasons to dismiss a part of fighting that is EXTREMELY important.
But atlast I...
