General Training Cool tricks
Does anyone have any cool tricks in judo that aren’t normally taught? Things that are kind of rough, but just part of the sport.
For example: shaving your head so you can rub your scalp against your opponent OR drilling your knuckles behind your opponents ear and jaw to open up their neck for a choke.

These aren't cool tricks. These are dick/douche moves.

and by definition worth a hansoku-make as an action against the spirit of judo. hardly ever happens, but still there and definitely should happen way more. then again you said decide, not win so... we still know what you meant ;)
and is it really a win if you cheat your way to victory, because you lacked the skill for it? if thats your take just print your winner certificate yourself and buy yourself a medal. has the same value and you dont ruin the competition for others.

It’s a combat sport and there are no direct rule as to stop a competitor from digging a chin into their opponent’s during a hold down etc. I can be viewed as against the spirit of judo but doesn’t mean it is. It’s subjective that you may view that as wrong yet others may not. And as a combat sport and no rules stopping me directly from doing something then it is a part of the sport and thus I am not cheating and any win is earnt via skill and valid. In my opinion. Again it is subjective and I will continue to win high level competition and believe I have won fairly.

Dig your chin into their ribs when in Yoko Shiho.
I wouldn't call these rough moves "cool" though. They're more like "if the ref doesn't see it, it's legal". Comp is one thing, but if you do this to your mates.. shame. That's a fast pass to being viewed as an asshole real quick.

So you do realise its assholemoves and you shouldnt do them, but still think you can do them in competition? Thats just... i dont even know anymore. Respect and honesty etc are no longer judo values when the other person isnt part of your club - such a wild take.

I do not condone being a dick in any setting.
I'm stating that it's used in comp. to get an edge. Example. Not that it's right, but that it exists, prevalent, and that people can/will do anything to get an edge just to win in a competitive setting.
Additionally, why would anyone do this to the people they train with regularly is beyond me. If they do, they're even more of an asshole and the most hated person to train with. It's like training with someone who goes too hard/rough, constantly bombing you without regard.
Know that it's a thing, but don't do it to your mates or you won't have anyone to roll with very quickly.

Loosen the lapel for some slack, then shove your hand into their throat. They push in, they’re getting fist to throat.

What? So you’re asking for tips for being a pest in Judo? Against your peers at your dojo?
You are an asshole. Don’t need tips for that I guess.
And that’s a real quick way for someone to “accidentally” hold the choke too long or throw you the wrong way.
