Judo had striking atemi waza


Recommended Posts

My old judo sensei was a student of Kyuzo Mifune. He promised his master that he would never teach judo striking ever again. Is there any old footage of atemi waza on youtube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKuMITjSeog here is a new video of atemi waza, but I don't know if its authentic judo atemi waza.

Meaningful practice of atemi waza was excised from the judo curriculum so early and so completely that I suspect judo doesn't have any unique atemi of its own: any atemi it possessed in the early stages would be strictly derivative of the koryu jujutsu systems judo was distilled from.

The atemi waza of Judo is outlined in Kano's Kodokan Judo book. It starts on page 136.
