Everything. Take Judo rules, relax gripping constraints (same side gripping, etc.), allow groundfight to go until clear stalling, or someone stands up. Add leglocks, leg attacks, and all chokes. We can discuss if sweeps should give points or not.
i also agree with Russky on eliminating grip penalties. i'd eliminate crossfacing penalties too.
every shido in judo is for stalling:
out of bounds? stall.
false attack? stall.
getting handsy? stall.
so to me, it doesn't make sense to pause the action to penalize stalling, or do all this grip fuckery. the new rules state everything's legit 'as long as you're attacking' but don't really qualify what 'attacking' is.
i think what freestyle really gets right is penalizing belly-down turtles for noncombativity. that's exactly what they are, and the fact that it's used as a viable tactic to avoid groundwork really pisses me off.
i'd eliminate crossfacing penalties because
1. crossfacing is awesome
2. if you don't wanna get crossfaced, don't be in a position to get crossfaced
re 'neck cranks', i think you could just amend the rules to say 'no intentional twisting of the neck' and 'no unsupported neck flexion'
if your head is twisting because you're using your chin to block a bow-and-arrow/clock choke attempt, that's your own fuckin' fault.
if my crotch, forearm, or your shoulder is in the way of your neck bending, it's not a 'crank'. damn it.
so like:
can opener = not okay
rnc face crank = not okay
pulling the head down in a triangle = okay
guillotine from guard = okay
peruvian necktie = okay (pretty sure it is anyway)
gerbi choke = okay (no idea why it's even illegal)
the problem is a lot of the old guard just don't have the newaza chops the new generation has, and want to draw a stark line between BJJ and Judo.
to me, that's arbitrary and artificial, based on competitive rulesets. i don't want there to be a difference. they're like mac and cheese...hall and oates...peanut butter and jelly....bert and ernie...they belong together
Ippon is literally what you're supposed to strive for in competition. Others may disagree with me, but I would say ippon is very necessary. If you remove ippon, the entire game changes.Huh? That is more like the current bjj ruleset than the current judo ruleset. Of course bjj doesn't have an ippon for big throws. But I don't think you or anyone else would stop competing in judo if ippon was eliminated but leg locks etc were allowed back in. I don't see how ippon is a necessary component of judo?

Bjj ruleset is awful. Whoever drops on his butt first wins.Huh? That is more like the current bjj ruleset than the current judo ruleset.

If you don't see the benefit of encouraging big throws, then I'm honestly wondering why you train judo. If you remove ippon, there is no incentive to go for anything large.I don't see the benefit of ippon, other than it means judo matches can be very quick.
If you are a big fan of winning by ippon though BJJ is clearly an inferior rule set. But so far most of the discussion is what is wrong with judo rules not why they are preferable to BJJ, which is kind of weird in a thread about Judo.

I always thought of Ippon as the "one thrust, one kill" mentality of the ancient samurai. This also fuels my frustration with rolling uke on the mat gently "Ippons".
So I've got a contusion on the outside edge of my left foot. I've been keeping it in the air during ukemi and nagekomi but it's not healing very quickly. Does anybody have a good method for padding? Should I just tape a piece of styrofoam or neoprene over it?

buddy, not to be a dick, but you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. you haven't been doing Judo long enough to make generalizations about anything, other than "I generally don't know shit about Judo"
