Achha, so the leg grab ban stopped judokas from grabbing the legs directly for throws, yaar — meant to encourage big, clean ippon throws. Honestly? As someone who watches for the beautiful, dynamic throws, I think it made the sport a bit sterile; too much grip-fighting now, less of that raw, scramble-to-win energy. See, I feel this in my bones when I'm trying to record music: sometimes a perfect, raw take gets lost when you overthink the rules and tech. Give me the messy, gutsy attempt over a safe, polished one any day.
