OLD JUDO SCHOOL 🥋

Judo has changed with every generation — rules, tactics, gripping strategies, and competition styles.

But the old school was built on something deeper than winning.

Respect for your opponent.
Discipline in every practice.
Technique before shortcuts.
Character on and off the tatami.

Those values shaped generations of judoka — and many believe they are still the heart of real judo today.

Do you think old school judo still matters?
And what do you miss most about the judo of the past?

Third was a private class doing Brazilian JiuJitsu and working Clock choke, anaconda choke and Flow Drill 1 (there are 5 guard sweeps and two mount escapes).
