Settle An Argument For Me: Kosen Judo

[Keej613]

Is it a different style/genre of Judo?

OR

Is it normal Judo being played with a different set of rules?

Thanks!

There is this handy thing called the search function.

One does not play Judo!

[Keej613]

Eep! One does not simply walk into the Japanese Martial Arts Forum!

Thanks for the link! Very informative.

One does not play Judo!

That's a whole different argument. Suffice to say I disagree with you, play is a perfectly acceptable term.

[Keej613]

At the risk of being told to use the search function again, what is the verb one should use when saying that one engages in Judo training or competition?

Yikes. You'd better not go to Japan.

It's said that way all the time over there...

...along with "Do you play skiing?" and other phrases regarding recreational activities.

Why not just say "I train judo"? That's what I do.

Glad you said it and not me.

Fair enough but that wasn't the question.

Let me put it this way:

A boxer boxes, a wrestler wrestles, a professional hockey player plays hockey and a judoka ___________ .

Fill in the blank.

Judo-es - as in "I'm judo-ing you"

[The Cap]

Judo-es - as in "I'm judo-ing you"

At blackbelt, that verb is upgraded to "jud-owns".

[judoratt]

Judo-es - as in "I'm judo-ing you"

I do judo A judoka does judo.

and a judoka slams people into the earth.

Wrestle is a verb. That's why a wrestler can wrestle. Box is a verb too, boxers can box. Judo is a noun. Grammar is your friend.
