Great observations when comparing BayArea Judo and SoCal judo styles. I would like to know/compare judo styles from different states like (Texas, Florida, Upper East Coast and etc) when local tournaments are held.
Well I already lived in Texas before and started Judo there and did Judo at KBI before as a yellow belt but haven't been to a tournament. But that's not a bad idea... maybe I'll fly out to US Open and Liberty Bell next year, but I do have a lot of international travel coming up. Trade offs of not doing this and training full time like some other youtubers haha. -Anthony
also I want to add that given how long the episode was I didn't have much time to add enough context. I've only been to two tournaments in NorCal compared to the multitude I've been at in SoCal. And one of them I was competing and got injured so I missed most of it. The bayarea judo championships this years participant numbers are also a bit smaller than most of the tournaments down here in socal, so take what I said as just an observation with a grain of salt. -Anthony
