Ok so Judo is still going strong just not so strong in the States. Probably why we hardly ever medal.

I think if people really started training judo no gi, If one brave soul opened up a no gi judo academy, things would be alittle different, You need a shot no doubt about it, but I think theres alot less risk with judo takedowns, the throws are alittle risky because of the sweat factor, but you have less of a chance getting kneed in the dome clinched up working for a trip, Munoz was doing a sick inside trip against boestch. I'm sorry if I sound like an idiot.

I am praying for a no-gi judo school, for no other reason than the creation of a Japanese/Judo version of Renato Laranja

Are you a black belt in judo?

I've been teaching No-Gi Judo for 13 years
