What happened in this judo tournament?

Question

my friend was in it and i was coaching him and told him to do judo chop on opponents which is exactly what he did when ref disqualified him saying strikes are illegal in judo competition?!?! what when did this happen? or was i just at a freaky tournament?

Answer 1

God enough with the Judo chop and the super karate.

You make yourself look like an idiot.

Answer 2

Sounds like a pretty freaky tournament to me....

I have decapitated people with my Judo chop and won by Ippon easily because of it, and was given a higher score due to the "Fatality".

They must not have the latest rules, or maybe it was a sissy tournament instead of the normal deathmatch Judo tournaments I am used to that are reffed by Shang Tsung..

Answer 3

Judo chop your way to the top

Answer 4

Most only allow grappling, joint locks and throws. With full contact Karate you can do chops or shuto. A good full power knife hand strike in the right place, which I shall not mention here on the net for obvious reasons, can be fatal in 25 seconds.

Answer 5

Shutos or chops to the neck are illegal in most any tournament; Judo or Karate.  In Judo tournaments they used to allow light slapping to the face in the adult brown and black-belt divisions if it was followed up with a technique but even that is not allowed anymore.
