I'll never understand Judo.

It's so hard on the body. Sure, learning how to throw people around sounds useful* , but not at the cost of getting thrown around yourself so someone else can learn too.

*useful in a way, many of those throws don't work with street clothes

This is why we practice on tatami and not, like, sidewalk or something. Although knowing how to breakfall has saved my ass on slippery sidewalks. Also, we do practice no gi stuff, too. This isn't IJF nonsense, it's that old shit from before judo was 90% standup.
