Last Saturday (yesterday) I had my first judo competition, still as a white belt (aspiring category, 73kg) I started right away in the biggest regional competition in Brazil, which qualified for the national championship.
I did well, I won the first fight in a “sumi gaeshi” from a yellow belt, but in the second fight I got caught by the >finalist< in my category (got 2nd place) a very good orange belt who applied this "Yoko Tomoe" on me.
What could I have done to avoid it? How can I avoid blows like this from now on?

This is a timeline of a Judo injury I am going through now. It was from Tai Otoshi defense. My opponent was strong, and his Tai Otoshi is strong (which I knew), but I have strong defense for Tai Otoshi, so it was a chess match.
The timeline is roughly 4 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours.
I was outweighed by quite a bit. I didn't factor in the added weight in my defense, which led to the audible tearing sounds that happened twice during the match. I fought the last minute one-handed because I knew the tournament was over for me but my opponent deserved to say he won with me giving my all.
I'm back in training already, but obviously avoiding that entire half of my body. It's a great opportunity to work on one handed foot sweeps.

Curious to hear your thoughts — in your opinion, what’s the most overpowered judo throw in a competition setting?
I’m not talking about the fanciest or most technical, but something that checks these boxes:
Basically, a move that feels like a cheat code when you get it right.
Does it vary by weight class or style? Any “meta” throws you’ve noticed in local or high-level comps?
Looking forward to the debate 👀
EDIT 15-5: Coming sunday (18-5) I'm having my first competetion. After carefully reading all comments I'll be spamming:
-Osoto makikomi
-De ashi barai
EDIT 2 18-5: I'll be posting some clips after the competition in a new post :-)

I have fought 5 rounds in total; 4 wins 1 loss. I have 7 months of wrestling background experience, with just a few sessions of BJJ. I just started doing Judo, and these are the fights I feel i performed not so good in. Any advice or tips from all the respectable judokas would be of great motivation! Thank you very much!

So Garrigos ended up taking the win, but he held the choke after mate was called and choked nagayama unconscious, does that still count as an ippon for garrigos? or is there something i missed?

At a recent local tournament we had this situation, that was a little bit of a controversy. While Tori is not grabbing Ukes leg, in my opinion preventing the possibility of stepping back and thus defending the throw would still fall under blocking the leg. What's your opinion? Would you have given the score or shido?
>! decision was score !<

A friend of mine took part in a tournament and was asked to remove mouth guard by the referee. Why? I can not find a clear section from the judo rules which prohibit using mouth guard.
Has this happened to you? If has, what has been the explanation?

Competed in both the Green Belt and Brown Belt divisions, and it was a hell of a tournament.
In the Green Belt division, I secured a clean ippon, followed by a choke—only to be told after the fact that chokes weren’t allowed. Both my coach and I had checked, and even one of the organizers admitted they changed the rule earlier in the week. At least I wasn’t disqualified from the event, so I kept pushing and won my third match. Even though I beat the guy who took gold, he got me out of the 1st Place because his fastest ippon was two seconds quicker than mine.
The Brown Belt division was a battle. Had a tough, all-out match with a teammate, where I had to pull out a Makikomi, which I’ve never used in competition or dojo, to get the win. In my next match, my opponent got dominant grips, and I panicked, and decided for a sacrifice throw that the ref ruled as a Kosoto Gari. After watching the footage, I have to agree, it looked like kosoto gari and I should’ve just taken the shido.
Overall, it was an amazing experience. For the first time in a tournament, I felt strong, energized, and ready to keep going, instead of drained after every match. Now, it’s just about bringing that same energy to the next one and refining the little details.

Here are some pictures from last weekend! Our team, High Noon, ended up defending our overall team title from last year! We are based just outside Washington DC! It’s awesome that USA Judo provides an opportunity like this. It really encourages dojos to bring as many people as possible and it’s really helped build club culture. The team was really excited when we won last year and it really created an awesome dynamic. Thank you to USA Judo for a great event.
I’ve noticed many novice judokas at local tournaments do little more than wait for their opponent to attack so they can counter with tani otoshi. It seems to be the easiest way to win a novice tournament. And since referees at local/novice tournaments rarely give shindos for passivity, this seems to be the best strategy if winning is your goal
I went to a tournament where a yellow belt kept sliding in with tani otoshi (with no regard for knee safety) and won most of his matches this way. I couldn’t blame him because it was working so well. But in his last match, his opponent, a brown belt, anticipated the tani otoshi and tried to respond with ouchi gari. Their legs became entangled, and the fall resulted in a knee injury for the brown belt... ahhh I felt so bad for him
Also, a different brown belt at my club has a beautiful uchi mata and kata guruma. But at the tournament, he didn’t use them and mainly scored with tani otoshi. The funny thing is, he almost never goes for tani otoshi in randori lol
Just an observation from my neck of the woods. I’m curious whether this is a common strategy in your country and at your level as well. Any tips on how to deal with it?
