Cool video!

I fucking love judo. Throwing people and being thrown is unbelievably fun, the physics are neat to think about and apply, and it's great exercise that feels a lot like play. Plus, as a competitive sport, it skips the mysticism and orientalism that comes with a lot of martial arts. Grappling is also a handy thing to know, if you ever need to restrain someone or are being restrained - and teaching a partner how to grapple is a nice form of intimate play that helps build trust!

Here's an archive of 2016 Olympic judo, if anyone ever feels like watching some sports. It's pretty entertaining, especially when you start to learn to recognize what's going on. There's a lot that happens in grip fighting!
