Competition Judo Clinic

Coming up on January 6th, 2008, Rick Hawn (currently ranked #1 in the USA at 90kg, formerly #1 at 81kgs) will be in Fredericksburg, VA. He will be teaching an all day seminar on competition judo techniques. One can only suspect that this would include a lot of unorthodox crossgripping and some seoi variations...

here's some vids!



This is Rick versus Tiago Camilo, usually considered one of the best in the world. He loses to Tiago's uchimata, but this was a VERY close call. Many would consider the throw only a yuko or waza ari.

Here's some footage from the 2006 and 2007 Senior Nationals;
