Mr.Bean tries judo

[u/Successful_Spot8906]

Hilarious

[u/calder_mccoll]

I wonder if that caused an increase in judo participation at the time.

Pretty good representation of the art for a comedy tv show!

[u/Successful_Spot8906 → u/calder_mccoll]

It must have. Not by much tho I doubt it but surely a few ppl started judo because of it

[u/noonenowhere1239]

Classic episode. Great stuff

[u/Froggy_Canuck]

I often say "bow" in a Mr. Bean voice because of this episode.

[u/Successful_Spot8906 → u/Froggy_Canuck]

Lol that's funny

[u/Reasonable_Alfalfa59]

I'm new to judo at the name of Beans move?

[u/Successful_Spot8906 → u/Reasonable_Alfalfa59]

Pushi waza

[u/kwan_e → u/Reasonable_Alfalfa59]

Sideways roll.

[u/Blaster2000e]

shido! avoiding grip

[u/Successful_Spot8906 → u/Blaster2000e]

Hahaha

[u/Judotimo]

There are some similarities to asking a BJJ guy to start standing .

[u/R-66YPrometheus]

Wazari?

[u/Successful_Spot8906 → u/R-66YPrometheus]

The gigantic gi is agitating me

[u/Evonyte]

I’d probably lose to mr bean too tbf based on his show of mental acuity and resourcefulness

[u/Dry_Biscotti3159]

This is how my female friend reacted when I took her to her fist (and only) judo class

[u/Successful_Spot8906 → u/Dry_Biscotti3159]

Lol. Same with many of my friends

[u/5sept]

That form of seioi nage is how our dojo does it.
