re: #244 Rightwingconspirator

Agreed. But I refer to the attacker having a recounter to the judo response. In other words breaking the throw at its inception.

I can’t speak for everyone but in my school (Tia Chi/Yang) the emphasis is on “sticking” so as to sense the opponent’s direction and defuse it before it takes form… basically it you remain soft the Judo guys have nothing to work with.
