I've asked Hiro (a former judo player) about the rules many times. I understand it's all in the shoulders - shoulder touching mat = point, shoulder touching mat more = more points, shoulder completely touching the mat = a complete point.
But I still don't get it.... at all.
ABC Aus. radio is blocked for international listeners....
Just as well my interest is marginal...

Heh. Wait until the synchronized swimming starts! (+_+)
PS: Have you requested a judo demo lesson? ;)
Hiro has challenged me to judo before, but I always get called zurui... It's hard not to cheat when you don't get the rules.
Maybe I should let kinaesthetic learning trump audio learning and get him to demonstrate the various points.
I was quite convinced the Japanese woman had beaten the Korean woman tonight, but not... I still don't get it...
Synchronised swimming and the perpetual moan of the Japanese about having short legs...
I don't get it either!
I tried to tell U about a few of the Canadian athletes and he showed absolutely no interest... Until Iemtioned a Canadian man had won a bronze medal in judo - and he got all excited and congratulated me!
Japan and their judo love, eh?!!

O hi sashiburi Katsu san. You are always a fountain of knowledge :)
Arigatou!
The Canadian judo medal doesn't appear to have links to Japan but he does sound like he's been through a fair bit.
ouch!
So many years spent for a few fleeting bouts... Good luck to him.
