At least make me think I got tricked. This is just dirty. Buy the pants, buy the DVDs, then buy the lessons for the same price, buy the shirts... -

When I created the American Combat Judo Association, and yes there is still stuff out there, I handled this very simply... there was no rank.
I wanted to do what the USJA jujitsu program should have done, and I did. However there was no rank, you still had to earn your rank in Judo through accepted groups and methods.
Oddly, without rank, the group never took off or grew very well.....
I wonder why?
ps: yes I know why. -

If it's "combat judo" or "combat jiu jitsu," shouldn't the only belt be a web belt?

Yeah, I would literally beat the hell out of someone who claimed a belt rank from an online course.

"Judo is a study of techniques with which you may kill if you wish to kill, injure if you wish to injure, subdue if you wish to subdue, and, when attacked, defend yourself" - Jigoro Kano (1889)
***Was this quote "taken out of context"?***
"The judoist has no time to allow himself a margin for error, especially in a situation upon which his or another person's very life depends...."
~ The Secret of Judo (Jiichi Watanabe & Lindy Avakian), p.19

The comparison isn't really in the delivery method, but in the dilution of the "pure" product. And the relative reaction to that. Originally Posted by It is Fake
