You're from that school! It's a small world. Did your sensei support this lawsuit? Maybe that's an uncomfortable question, in which case never mind!

Yeah , he dos not support bowing and is a great instruter. We are all tought Wrestling moves other forms of wrestling from around the world there and judo jujitsu etc. Its sorta funny alot of the judges hate my coach for trying to chang the way things are now. But we still win even if the judges cheat now and then ,.

I think if one practices Judo, the art, then one should bow. If not one is just wrestling with judo techniques. Judo is a Budo, a martial way, first and foremost. The sporting aspect is(was) a secondary. I don't think bowing is a religious thing. It is a sign of respect, for Kano, for your instructors and for your fellow competitors and students.

I just don't think it should be that big a deal, if you don't like it just don't do judo.

He didn't tell you what to do, he just gave his opion. Which by the way I agree with.

Sit down and have a cup of tea, fresh tea in a emtpy cup. I think that would be good

If you don't like people telling you what to do , don't do it to me.

Lucly I live in Scandinavia were people are allowed to state their opion with out other people getting pissed-off because we respect each other.

First off, I told you to stop judo not Yari.

Second, I didn't tell you to stop judo. I said If you don't like Bowing don't do judo. Bowing is a part of Judo and always should be. As I remember from a different post you said "Judo...is a way of Life" In that I agree completely. However, Judo involves bowing. The respect and the japanese way of displaying it are part of what makes judo, judo. With out it you are just wrestling with clothes on. If you don't want to bow you should quite Judo because you don't fully want to do it. Why should Judo as it is practiced by millions of people change because you don't feel the need to show respect?

Yes you are allowed a little personal freedom, the freedom to quit Judo. No body is making you do Judo, If you don't like the rules go somewhere else. You can't just follow the rules you want to. That is selfish and unfair to the other people, such as I, who love judo in its entirety. Take Submission grappling, or wrestling, there is no bowing in either, but there will always be bowing in Judo.
