International Judo Federation leg shoot ban experiment

I'd agree. A throw is a motion that moves an opponents weight in such a way as to project them. A takedown can be as simple as a leg reap to a more complex double leg to as something as different as a joint manipulation.

I've been thinking of the differences between a throw, a sweep, and a takedown, and a comparative study would be a great idea, I think.

This bums me out. It takes Judo even further away from its roots. Don't get me wrong, I understand why it needs to be done. Especially if Judo wants to remain an olympic sport. But it just doesn't seem right.
