Judoka bow , walk to the mark, bow again and the referee shouts "hajime". At this point, each judoka much call insults and offense to the other until one judoka bursts out into tears - at which point they lose. Making any sort of contact with your opponent will result in instant hansokmake.
Seriously though, if you were to put yourself in the IJF's shoes (oh, the comments I could make here) what would the NEXT change of rules involve?
The next *cough* logical step would seem to be rule out any "drop" technique - banning falling to the knees. I WISH they would make a mandatory time in newaza and penalise non-combativity after the match enters the newaza stage - but I fear that is not likely.
Thoughts? Theories?
