Good English

When describing a term in Japanese, please don't use the phrase 'in budo' it is called sei o nage (or what ever}. Budo is not a language!!! Bu-Do (Bu=warrior/Do=The way of), therefore Budo is a philosophy not a language. All weapons, techniques and philosophies derived from Jujutsu/Judo/Aikido/Karate have Japanese names, not Budo names. Come on, it makes us westeners look stupid when we make ignorant mistakes about Japanese matters.

BJJ terminology question

The "kimura" is named after the great fighter, and the "americano" is above the waist (equator). Does "uma plata" literally mean "on a silver plate?" Rorybowman 08:00, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merging complete

I've now merged submission hold, pinning hold, pain compliance hold, and clinching hold into this article; all of the links in all articles linking to these have been redirected to the appropriate sections in this article. This one needs to be cleaned up a bit though; ordering and structuring according to type. Unfortunately i had to remove some pictures(temporarily hopefully) when the layout for messy. ---Marcus- 15:54, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to clean it up later. ---Marcus- 15:56, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Great idea and nice job, man! This creates a much more complete article. -Toptomcat 02:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Subsection on Judo Equivalents?

Given that Kodokan udo has some of the most consistent and sophisticated terminology on this, is it worth it to try and show a correspondence here or should that be a subsection in judo or a separate article such as Judo hold?

Hmm... What about adding the judo holds under their corresponding positions or types? In judo there are several pinning holds that are performed from for instance the sidemount; so they could be added as techniques there. Joint locking or choking techniques under their types or separate articles on for instance joint-locks. But atleast I don't think it should be integrated into the article on judo or in a separate judo holds, since other gi martial arts use them as well, and some even use the japanese terms for them. For instance, i wrote an article about neck cranks, and when applicable, i added the japanese(judo) term for the technique too. ---Marcus- 09:26, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Putting them in the sub-articles is probably better. A subsection or explicit article on Judo terms seems best, but for now the specific articles on the technique are probably best. I'd love to see what the Japanese Wikipedia articles on these look like! Rorybowman 07:23, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Begin list of judo techniques

On the semi-suggestion of -Marcus- I have created a new stub for Judo techniques, using a site which draws on current Kodokan teaching rather than trying to incorporate all budo. - Rorybowman 04:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How many pictures?

I'm a big fan of having at least one nice picture in the upper-right of many articles, if that picture instantly adds to understanding, as in the article Internet sock puppet. To a certain extent this is a matter of personal taste in decorating but this article definitely benefits from having an illustration at key subsections. Too many would be distracting (and are more appropriate on subsection pages) but would it be too much to add one at the top? With the injunction to be bold I will put one back at the top, but if folks think it is too much, it won't hurt my feelings for it to to go away. Rorybowman 18:29, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that there can be one at the top.---Marcus- 19:29, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Way to go

Thanks for adding these parts together and fixing it up. It had been very confusing and hard to find before, and now it is much clearer.

Escapes

Could someone who knows grappling and grappling holds right a page for escapes or at least a subsection for escapes. I would do it, but as a Taekwondoist am not very knowledgeable.

Crosschoke functionality

'Crosschoke: Athlete crosses own arms in "X" shape and holds onto opponent's gi or clothing.' How does this work, exactly? Is it the pressure one's outer forearms exert on the front of the neck? -Toptomcat 02:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
