]]> Comment on New Rule “Clarification” from the IJF by todd http://thejudopodcast.com/?p=709&cpage=1#comment-2243 todd Thu, 22 Jul 2010 09:04:36 +0000 http://thejudopodcast.com/?p=709#comment-2243 I havent minded the new rules but the hansoku-make for touching someones leg is the stupidest thing so far. I dont even think Shido is justified for grabbing the trouser but I could live iwth it but when a simple touch of the thigh gets you DQed, it is ridiculous. I can count about 12-15 times that Ive seen someone disqualified for simply touching a leg. Both the severity is overblown and touching and grabbing are two different things.
