Placid Lunacy Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 My school not only gives credit for Judo--we're the only state to my knowledge that has organized high school competition. Seiryoku zenyoJita kyoei

LOILOI44 Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 A 32 hour course will give you a slight knowledge of the art of Judo. Old school philosophy says it takes about 5 years to master 1 throw. Yamashita Sensei won 207 consecutive matches, and the only throw he used was Osto Gari. If anybody wants to get educational credit for studying martial arts, move to Japan. You can actually major in it in college.
shanemm Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 207 matches with osoto gari?!?!?! that's awsome and not very easy to do... There are two types of people in the world. Those that find excuses and those that find a way.-Unknown
LOILOI44 Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 I have seen two different figures. I heard 207 consecutive and 194 consecutive victories. Regardless he has a lifetime record of 528 wins, 16 losses and 15 draws. In 1984 Olympics in L.A. he injured his leg on his 2nd match so bad he could barely walk. He won a gold medal and had to almost be carried on to the podium by the silver medalist because he was unable to walk. I have never heard of an athlete having that big of a winning percentage, 94% lifetime.
