IJF and Some Judo Coaches are wrong
Sambo/Judo 16 Year Olds win Judo medals
The International Judo Federation has decreed that Top Rated
Judoka throughout the World cannot compete in any other Grappling Sport. I am
surprised that IJF Judo Organisations tolerated this type of Dictatorship especially
as it will not encourage other Grapplers to try Judo. Yet the decisions has
been made BUT what has happened is unscrupulous Judo Coaches who are frightened
to share their members with other grappling styles have been telling all their
Judoka that they are not allowed to train with other styles, they also maintain
that by training with other styles will ruin there Judo!
RUBBISH
I had quite a successful Competition career in Judo but I
also competed and trained in Sambo and Olympic Wrestling plus I tried Kurash,
Lucha Canaries and belt Wrestling, if BJJ was about when I was competing I
would have tried that as well. Many other top Judoka have trained in other
grappling styles and all agree it enhances their Judo.
One of the silly things people say is if I done another
Grappling Sport I could forget myself and revert back to my rules RUBBISH Here
is an example when I first started promoting Sambo in the early 1980’s I asked
some Jiu Jitsuka to give it a try and their excuse for not competing was they
may forget themselves and start punching, kicking and biting which obviously
against the rules. I then confused them by saying would a Rugby player who also
played football suddenly pick up the ball and run with it?
Three 16 years olds from the Young Judo Club/Warriors
Grappling Academy Sittingbourne recently entered a Judo Championships at the
famous High Wycombe Judo club and all won medals Gold’s Silvers and Bronzes in
both their age group and the Adult section all have just got their Brown Belts
and they were beating Adults and Dan grades all 3 have been to the World Junior
Sambo Championships representing Great Britain.
Brandon Springet , Fergus Hamilton, Richard Seaman train
with John Clarke National Sport Sambo Coach who is also a 5th Dan
judo. So what does that tell you? Also we had Ryan Coombes a Top class adult
Judoka who is now training in Sambo he won Gold in his weight 82k and Silver in
the open weight
So who is right the IJF and certain Judo Coaches who want
total control over Judoka or those Coaches who say have a go to their adult
players and try other grappling sports? You decide
