How do you play judo?

Answer 1

There are two opponents, both wearing gees (not sure about that spelling) who "spar" on a mat about 10 by 10. to win a match, you must get a full point (epone). to get a full point, you can throw your opponent flat on their back or pin them for 25 seconds. there are also half points, quarter points (which don't add up), and penalties (which are quarter points). you can be thrown out of a match/competition by getting 4 penalties. there is 1 ref, backed up by 2 corner judges, who help him with the points and stuff.

if you ever have the chance to go to a judo tournament, i suggest it. its a great experience and fun to watch

i have been doing judo for 5 years, and have gone to 6 competitions

Answer 2

The basic rules of Judo are: NO kicking, punching, touching the face/eyes. No leg locks, knee, wrist or finger manipulations. In a comp you are not allowed to walk away from your partner outside the red mat, you must show some indication of doing something, or else you will get penalized. Points are as follows: Ippon (one point), Wazari (half), Juko (quater), Koka (One sixth) You need One point/Ippon to win. This can be done by throwing your partner in a controlled way and they land on their backs. Or by holding them on their backs for 20-30seconds. Or lastly by making them tap out by putting on arm bars, chokes and strangles.

Smae as you get started in everything else...baby steps, find a club and go to a session, if you cant do things like rolls don't worry, the sensei (teacher) will help you with it, and you need to know the way to fall perfectly as it is core to judo, borrow a suit for a few lessons, to get the feel for the sport, and if you like it, get your own and do it again, buy a license as well, this allows you to do competitions as well and also grade, which is important. - RInja
