I think this guy Omar works for the publisher. LOL Anways gi no gi Judo Juijitsu same argument over and over. People who reallly know martial arts know what works and what doesnt and dont need to argue over it.

Huh? What match where you watching? You must be trolling. He was no where near being caught in sankaku jime (triangle choke). In the "street" I would put my money on Okawa.

I was just thinking that. A lot of Fedor Emelianenko's skill comes from Judo. And he is considered the no1 best MMAist in the world atm...

The Jap took it easy on him, he could of badly hurt him if he wished. I am a brown belt in judo and a Blue belt in BJJ and its amazing how much a really hard throw hurts, most BJJ guys are not used to being thrown and do not know how to take hard throws because they do not practice it much. BJJ does have GREAT ground and submission techniques.

the american kinda sucks he stood no chance i think his partner would have beat him

I think its regular sports tape. You use it to prevent damage to the tips of your fingers, as a judo gi is rather frictive (sp?). You can open or damage fingers and skin when you pull or are pulled free while keeping a tight grip. Some judokas even tape 2 fingers together.

Is he using hockey tape to tape his parts? Just wondering because I'm gonna try that :)

This was not a question who'd win really. If you take notice of the Judoka, you see he's upright, moving calmly without making any quick movement. He follows the American guy around and isn't really doing much. I'm not much of a judo fighter in the ring, but I'd say that judoka could've taken the American down every time he wanted. Also illustrated by the moments he places his throws. They just come at the moment he most likes to put it in. 22 years of judo cannot be matched by Juijitsu .

Not entirely nub and not entirely impossible to predict the American would have won the bout. Even IF the guy on top s throws a few blows while in a triangle choke holdd is in placer dosen't mean that he could have gotten out of it. This "fight" was a controled match with rules. MMA is best at "basically , no rules".
