Uh oh these are gonna be real unpopular!

  1. Most Judoka who comment on leg grabs don't understand and have barely trained leg grabs. Also, banning them was good for the sport.

  2. Most Judoka vastly overestimate the transferability of their game to no-gi. They also vastly overestimate its effectiveness against striking

  3. Most Judoka commenting on its effectiveness in MMA have never seen the inside of an MMA gym

  4. Most Judoka commenting on BJJ have never seen the inside of a BJJ gym

  5. In relation to all of the above, all Judoka would benefit enormously from exposure to more of the above 4 points, for a huge variety of reasons
