Episode 45- “The Juice Ain’t Worth The Squeeze”
In this ranting episode, Mike and Gene talk about the summer national and international competitions for juniors, and the newly proposed rules from the IJF regarding no hand attacks below the waist. For a quick update, Rhadi Ferguson and Jimmy Pedro started a thread on the Judo Forum and there was another thread by Rhadi Ferguson on the downward spiral of judo. Mike and Gene also talked about the recent USA Judo BOD conference call which included the possibility to support jiu jitsu, specifically BJJ, under the organization. The 2009 Judo US Open will feature a shared event with On The Mat’s Jiu Jitsu National Championships. This podcast is sponsored by Nutrient Technology, “Nutrition supported by research”.
