comment What makes this seated Daito-ryu technique work?
Those wishing to see some of my reasoning behind my answer to @stslavik's separate question would best mosey on over to chat, particularly this.

This description fits my understanding of a parlor trick, as described in my answer.

@stslavik There's a difference between a charlatan switching to another technique and applying it brutally as punishment for making a demonstration not work (as documented, for instance, in Angry White Pyjamas), and executing renraku-waza. My point is that the technique does not work. If I said that less than clearly, perhaps you could help me rephrase.

comment What do instructors look for before allowing students to compete in judo?
Nice answer. Do you see any prerequisite strength or physical attributes for adult newcomers who want to compete?

edits should be inline and comprehensible, not forcing me to read the saga of the question as it evolves

@Trevoke I edited your question after your second edit, but now there's a third. Your edits should revise the existing question, not add "edit" qualifiers at the end that everyone has to read (along with the comments) in order to figure out what you're asking. Edit it as many times as necessary such that the end result is one well-stated, clear question.

comment What do instructors look for before allowing students to compete in judo?
Maybe I'm not phrasing myself well. I don't mean "who is allowed to compete?" (which your rules links refer to) or "who will best represent the dojo?" (which your paragraphs about techniques to know addresses). I'm trying to ask "what should a judo coach make sure of before he allows a new adult white belt to compete?"

@WayneInML True. Competition is my go-to answer for adding an adrenaline dump with attendant hearing loss, attackers, tunnel vision, et al...maybe a paintball game interspersed with circuit training would be better?

"playing in the dirt releases endorphins" What do you mean? Playing inside doesn't?
