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.

Could be what decides a competition though?

Of course. Not against them. Just wouldn't call them cool tricks

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.
