Teddy's rank is a matter of some debate. Some say he actually made Shodan. He is also known to have trained in other martial arts, specifically the Vingy stick system (or was it the Barton-Wright interpretation of Vingy stick?... I forget which).

I believe it is kalaripayit, Indian martial art.

BTW, I quit my job in November. Find more details about it under rec.food.cooking 'hot dog slinging'

Crap.

Wouldn't want to be accused of picking *too* many nits, but Judo's techniques can be broken down into three major divisions (not techniques!).

They are: Tachiwaza (Standing techniques) Newaza (Matwork) Atemiwaza (Striking)

'Nagewaza' is throwing, but Tachiwaza includes nagewaza, as well as techniques that are *not* throwing, such as standing armbars or chokes.

In the same manner, Katamewaza is pinning, but Newaza contains not only katamewaza, but also kansetsuwaza (armbars) and shimewaza (chokes).

Each of the three major divisions can also be broken down into further sub-divisions.

One more nit to pick... Judo was a *demonstration* sport in 1964. It was accepted as a regular Olympic sport in 1972. It was *not* in the 1968 Olympics... I don't know why... anybody?

For woman's Judo, it was a demonstration sport in 1988, and a full Olympic sport in 1992.

Just a quick question Ben. Does Judo include Yubiwaza as part of Tachiwaza? ( I assume this is where it would be places as one is on ones feet when doing this.

Ouch! You've asked a relevant question that I don't immediately know the answer to!! I'd assume that Wally Jay would say yes, but as for myself, I've never been specifically taught any yubiwaza as a part of Judo. I'd not, of course, be surprised to learn it was merely another area of ignorance on my part.

Although to admit to some thought on the matter, it would be just as effective, and many times *very* effective - in matwork. Stopping a choke attempt, for example.

I've always seen Yubiwaza as more of a defensive weapon rather than an offensive attack... and again, Wally Jay would probably disagree with

O.K. I was just wondering where it would be placed as far as categorisation goes. As you know from our discussions I am in a somewhat eclectic art and we learn this as part of Jujitsu and self defence. In *class* it always seems to start out at least from a standing position. BUT we are encouraged to be creative so all you've said would apply to us as well.

BTW Just for grins I got nailed & had to take part in a grading last month. After we'd finished with the juniors there were 3 people grading for senior belts ( 2'nd and 1'st kyu ) Randori was part of the grading for them & guess who filled the bill for partners. You guessed it, various BBs including me. One guy tried to put me down with this throw but he was expecting a compliant uke for the grading. Shoulda seen the look on his face when I just stood there for a second & then dumped him. Next time he gave NO quarter at all & I hit the mat so hard I bounced ( The idea isn't to make it impossible for them just difficult enough commensurate with their grade ) It always seems to be such a revelation to them when we do things the way we've told them we will instead of the way they wish it would happen.
