Judo Semi-Finals - Men's -81 kg | London 2012 Olympics 

Same :)

Same here bro 🤣🤣🤣.

The German guy screaming makes it that much better

Same here! Even though we knew the result already... Hahaha

Me too. I thought I understood Judo, but after watching that I was very confused as to how not a single one of those sequences was worth any score whatsoever (including no shidos), and how if didn't get the decision based on aggression and the number of throws attempted.

Cause of that their were some changes over the last years. What happened here was, that neither Bischof and Stevens got regular points or penalties. So after end of Golden Score the referees decided the winner by some aspects like how active the opponents fight or tried to get a regular point. They showed their decision by showing a blue or white flag (refearing to the colours of the suits). This was quit intraspereant for viewers and also not really objective. After the London Olympics the Golden Score got limitless, the winner is the opponent who got a regular point or whos opponent got the third penalty. The regular points are the Ippon (100 points) (perfect throw where the opponent is landing completly on his back, or after 20 seconds of keeping your opponent on his back with without interruption) and the Wazari (10 Points) (good but not perfect throw or keeping the opponent on his back for 10 seconds without interruption). Two Wazari get added to one Ippon (except a short time in 2017). Till shortly after London their existed also the Yoko (1 point) (a partly good throw or 10 seconds of holding the opponent on his back (till this you needed 20 seconds vor Wazari, 23 for Ippon). The Yuko wasnt able to get added to an Wazari. Today most situations you got a Yuko for you get a Wazari now. Instead of holding the opponent for the required time on his back you can strangle or leverage the opponent in ground fights till he gives up. Their is also the chance to win if the opponent gains penalties (Shido). The first two Shidos cant decide the end of the match. In the regular time also the third doesnt. In Golden Score getting the thir Shido means to lose. The fourth Shido means to lose by disqualifying. (Hansuko-make). You can get Hansuko-make directly by big rule violation.

XD

I got told that flying armbars are illegal in judo! Lol

@@tbean5990 best way to solve that is to flying-arm-bar whoever told u that

@@davidmerz3978 extremely complicated

It's so quick that there's not a real disadvantage to giving up your back

Its good that they stop if there is no progress. The problem is that judges dont understand ground fighting and often stop promising situation

Thomas S. Wrong.

Stephens being a Jiu-jitsu black belt would have destroyed this dude if that were the case . Judo has really screwed the overall art by being too stand up focused and having very stupid rules in that regard . And Jiu-jitsu is lacking now because of being too ground and sport focused. The JJGF is the only organization that I know of that is actually trying to preserve and combine the arts back to their original purpose and awesomeness.

they've done that now, i believe you get like 20 seconds if you're showing progress.

watch kanamaru vs vitali makarov at the 2001 worlds, one of the most exciting matches I've ever seen

I had wondered about both things for years -- thanks for the clarity.

No one said to the German guy to cut his nails before the match?

Interesting. Bischof was basically punching him in the face to begin the match.

WHT BANDAGE?

like street fighter on nes

Nobody wants to watch 1+ minute of nothing happening or someone trying to ride a position to a better one for 5+ mins. Judo is designed to be exciting and dynamic

u still do judo ?

I suppose mma is not a sport like judo :) Totally agree with you though. In wrestling, I think you get unlimited blood time now.

no he was already bleeding

Bischof is turning around with his arm and elbow on his own chest, which is a common defend in ground fight.

@@JudoImPott Yeah he was just trying to turn around and Stevens bends forward right after. When I watched at 0.25x it looks like Stevens forehead fell onto Bischof's tricep.

Why?

Judo-im-Pott [de] Because he was the one pushing the action and attacking the whole time

It was normal at that time. It saddens me, too.

@@emperorjimmu9941 It's a shame how they're changing the sport because they think audiences only want to see throws and tachi waza

Ole elbows into Stevens left forehead. 11:06. Look his bloody face.

wrong sport... but it looked like some training time with marcelo would have helped stevens out in one or two spots.

callalilies07 you should start doing it

The opponent should touch the floor with his back when you throw him, basically.

@@psicologoexplica-psicocosas Imagine he's still watching after 9 years

Hey Ya by OutKast

Now its like this

An unfortunate rule change to get rid of leg attacks. It should be noted that they're not as powerful in clothed grappling as they are in wrestling because you can control the opponent from much further away when you can use you hands to grab them rather than having to get your arms around them.

@@internetenjoyer1044 yeah , in the GI single legs and double legs are less effective . But you can mitigate it by being good at removing your opponent grips

@@CrazeeFy Yeah you can mitigate it, but the gi still changes the whole game. Tbh, the fundamental difference between grappling arts is whether you can hold their clothes or whether your grips needs to be around them fully. Anything else is merely a ruleset

Do you leave comments on boxing videos talking about "The whole time I watch this I kept thinking about leg kicks"? Seems like your thing.

@aamake547 You're an idiot... Singles aren't illegal in Judo. At around 3:30 there was actually an attempt. He transitioned from a trip to a fireman carry to a single attempt. Yes they all failed, but it was attempted. Your comparing my one statement to a boxer doing illegal moves is just stupid. I understand you're a keyboard warrior though so I hope you have a great day.

is this mma? hahah

from my observation, sometimes judge tell the players to fix their gi. Sometimes the player can force it, so after the "mate" call the player can quickly fix their gi, but usually a "hajime" to start the fight is being called. They have to fix the gi before they leave the mat, when the score is being announced.

You're supposed to wait for the referee to tell you to do it. I think it's supposed to reinforce the absolute authority of the referee.

rubbish. That was a tie.

@@The_Scouts_Code Definitely wasn't. Travis attacked way more, and was screwed. The German was favored heavily.

@@christianmichaels6834 he attacked way more, and way more ineffectively. Judo is about efficiency.

@@davidrosales2081 The German didn't do anything to even remotely put Travis in danger. I'm no Travis fan, but he was definitely robbed. The German borderline stalled the whole time.

The elbow to his face, man :D

WHEN

WHERE

HOW

WHY

jury decided he performed better during the fight

They favored Ole unfairly.

Bischoff must lost for passivity.

Political corruption.

It's simple, if you trow then you get points. An ippon it's the maximum score and there is also wazari. You can better search it up because I don't know if you understand something:))

@@amaliakuba9000 just needed the basics of how they get points.

no

Successful throw must be on the back - that is a win - ippon. Less successfull - on the side - wazaari (10 points) 2 wazaaris = 1 ippon - win. Pin of 10 seconds - wazaari, 20 seconds - ippon. Wazaari throw +10 seconds pin = ippon. Judokas do not think in points, but in wazaaris and ippons

Stevens grabbed bischof's fingers

i think there was a elbow to break the clinch .

IT IS DIFFICULT. it is to score one point when both are so evenly matched.

Да просто кто-то ногти не состриг. Это как в футболе - игрок лежит для привлечения внимания судьи.
