Re: Aikido or Judo, which is more martial?

Neither can I. Foot sweeps are great setups for off-balancing prior to other throws, even if they don't cause a throw on their own, and they often do.

I believe some of the Nisei judoka used to practice kicking a tire around a field to practice their sweeps. Now imagine someone used to doing that grabbing you, pushing you around, and sweeping your feet that hard.

Can you say OUCH?

Hi Ron,
A tire? The tires are for children. The Real Judo Fighter practice sweeps on tree trunk or elecrical pillar. < - it is not a joke.

Hi Peter, long way from Quebec to China, very impressive!
