still a bit confused...Patrick Skerry said:The trouble is that more and more western sport regalia is being imposed upon judo to the point of distortion, judo is a martial art yet being treated as a sport. This is my point that the forced sportification of judo, might cause the end of judo. Judo might become something else.
If you believe that western sport regalia being imposed upon judo is distoring Judo and might cause the end of Judo, then why do you participate in what you claim will eventually ruin your martial art and make it a sport? Why have you not walked away from that type of competition instead of supporting it by participating?
