shoulder dislocated from a throw? or Ude garami? "
Bad fall from a footsweep disguised as a tackle. We both went up for a header, but I had no intention of getting the ball. Besides, he was 6 inches taller than me. He went end over end and landed badly.
I think the ref knew what I had done, but after the guy broke my nose and made it look like an accident he looked the other way.
That game got really ugly after that. Two of their guys got carded for trying to pick a fight with me to get me out of the game. Alas, they got carded too, while I looked like the innocent victim I was!

lol, You are all man Mr. Reinhardt.
"lol, You are all man Mr. Reinhardt. "
My speciality was passive agressiveness, those guys never had a chance!

I remember in HS how baseball players would say that soccer was for girls.
I wish they would experience the wrath of a judoka in cleats.

BASEBALL players said that? Now that's rich!

One of our instructors was telling me when he was younger there was this karate tournament he saw with his son. He ended up in a conversation with a karateka. When asked what he practices my intructor said "judo". The guy said that judo is just a sport. He then replied "Karate, its like playing touch."
What happened after that?
That was where he ended the story. I just started training at the time and I enquired about differences in training and competition between the two arts.
I apologize for going off on a tangent there...
Judoguy - what are police nunchuks?!?!
This is a very cool thread!
I got a street ippon before. It was from a throw I learned in Tae Kwon Do believe it or not. The guy outweighed me by about 80lbs and he got me into a standing headlock with his right arm. I got into a low stance and and stepped behind his leg, with my left arm I grabbed his chin and twisted hard to my left. He went flying and messed up his shoulder so bad I had to drive him to the emergency room. I guess that my TKD training was not so useless but it is funny that I never used any flying jump kicks only a simple throw.
Police Nunchakus are a tool developed by a guy in Colorado. In essence, the are controlling tools used to trap, block, and strike suspects depending on the level of force required. The are made of plastic and are knotched at the ends for gripping power. The cord is shorter than traditional nunchuks.
They are wrapped around suspect's wrists, legs, joints, etc for come-alongs and pain compliance techniques. They didn't work so well for me for two reasons. 1. The guy had a huge parca on and I didn't get a good grab on his wrist. 2. I tried to mix the come along pain compliance techniques with my more ingrained Judo throw and they didn't mix.
PR-24's?!?!
Police nunchuks?!?!
What's next?
Police Sais?
Police Tonfas?
Aren't the police already using tonfas?
Police Katanas!
Police brutality!
I think most cops are moving to the ASP type expanding baton. Which was invented of course by the Japanese police originally.

I only ever had one real "street ippon".
I was out at a rather seedy drinking establishment
(...and that is being very, very positive in the
description) with my brother enjoying a couple of
drinks and attempting to deflower the local virgins.
(...again, a very positive comment). We decided to
call it a night and wandered out front to take a taxi
home.
After waiting about 20 minutes in the freezing cold
a taxi finally turned up. Just as we were about to
get in - a bunch of drunk young army guys tried to
jump the taxi on us. I said hey it's our cab you'll
have to wait. Next thing I know, this guy cuts into
me with a big right cross that bounces me back off
the cab like a pinball. It was a real "bell ringer" and
a perfect sucker punch!
My brother immediately ko'ed this guy with a big
lazy left hook. (he is a fairly decent boxer and quite
enjoys a dust up.)
Drunk army dude's friend tries to lay out my
brother. I see him and my bro slugging it out. With
the bells still ringing in my head, I dive forward and
nail this guy with the biggest o-soto gari I have ever
thrown. Kata perfect. I hit this guy so hard that I
can't even feel it. Just a bump and a movement.
(Probably the massive adrenaline dump had
kicked in.)
Anyway..This guy goes down real hard on the
pavement. He makes a massive "whump" noise.
His head bounces and he is staring up into the sky
with eyes open, but not blinking. He then starts
flopping about kinda like a freshly caught fish.
Then the bouncers from the club waded in.
Next thing I am dragged by the belt backwards into
the cab and we depart like a stealth bomber. I look
out the back window and see the fight still rolling
about on the sidewalk with army vs bouncers.
The only comment my brother made about the
entire incident was - "You forgot to point your toes."
To which the Pakistani cabbie agreed. "Yes. Yes."
With winter in full effect anyone look around see HUGE tempting lapels and sleeves? I'm almost tempted to grab a stranger and jump in for a harai.
I love osoto! :)
