I gotta learn not to release my likeness to be reproduced without royalties.

That is just SO cool. What a beautifully done piece of art. What wonderful movement, what a wonderful encapsulation of the power, intricacy, and physicality of our sport.

Of course, nothing like this would ever- in a gazillion light years- be put up in America, since the vast majority of people here don't know what Judo is. And if it did somehow get displayed, someone would lodge a complaint that there's a depiction of two men acting inappropriately within 300 yards of a school.

But I digress... anyway, thank you for sharing this image- I am quite impressed by this work.
