    the shido is because the japanese dude did not attack enough.. I kind of agree… even though the black dude was not really attacking that much either… the japanese guy was attacking even less and only had one reall really good chance at ippon… which came in the middle of the match. The black dude in the other hand probably was well coached and reviewed tapes of the japanese dude fighting… as almost ALL of his entries were really really low and he was not letting the japanese guy getting a good hold o his lapelle…by going down almost into a crouching position while still standing. Not the greatest fight and not really great technique but he did what he had to do in order to win… in the end I think it was a good decision. The japanese guy is way way way too dangerous though.. if the opponent (the black guy_) would have not played him as he did he would have surely lost by ippong

    the americans all fight like they are at high school doing high school wrestling…we dont want this…it looks even worse than the eastern block style…but at least they could do throws…americans suck at judo

    I think this boy is not an example for american Judo,
    In the US there are also judokas like Jimmy Pedro, or Ronda Rousey
    who do nice Judo with a lot of great techniques!
