"Anyway, Judo is a living martial art. By living I mean that the practitioners actually use it regularly against an opponent who it trying to stop them. This is in contrast to most Karate/TKD/Kung Fu instruction where the students must take on faith that the stuff works and their sparing competitions actually throw out competitors that make contact or injure an opponent." quote the dude above me


I strongly beg to differ. Im a national TKD champ. Been breaking jaws, ribs and a ton of noses in competitions. Transitioned to MMA, and have several knock outs against people who come from other disciplines. Never heard this bullshit about throwing competitors out for making contact. High level competition is all about knocking out your opponent.
