Judo "offers better self-defence training at close quarters than any other sport"

[Atlasmma]

Knowing how to take a hit really helps too.

Wow that was a pretty good scene, even a collar choke! Nice reminder that some people were aware of groud fighting even back when the world was black and white!

Total quality there! I counted several ippon sieo nages, a drop sieo nage, a tomoe nage and a nice harai goshi.
James Cagney had a black belt in judo.
I read somewhere that the bad guy was actually a judo teacher at a club in LA.

Pity Cagney had to go and spoil it by cheating with his fingers up the bad guy's sleeve as he goes for the collar choke!
