ember **Tokyo, Japan** — The International Judo Federation (IJF) has officially lifted its ban on the iconic double leg takedown, known as “Morote Gari,” in a landmark decision that has thrilled judo practitioners and fans worldwide. This move marks a shift in the sport’s regulation, aimed at embracing its roots and fostering more dynamic competition.

The morote gari, which involves grabbing both of an opponent’s legs and driving them backward to the ground, had been banned since 2010, following IJF’s efforts to differentiate judo from other grappling sports like wrestling. The decision to outlaw the technique was part of a broader effort to preserve judo’s traditional focus on throws and grips, stemming from a desire to highlight upright posture and skillful nage-waza (throwing techniques).

However, the exclusion of morote gari over the years had sparked debate within the judo community. Many argued that banning the technique limited the range of strategic options available to judoka and hindered judo’s broader evolution as a combat sport. Wrestlers transitioning to judo, in particular, found the rule restrictive, as it took away a key move they were accustomed to using.

The IJF’s decision to bring back the morote gari comes after extensive consultation with athletes, coaches, and officials, as well as a reevaluation of its potential to improve the overall excitement and tactical diversity of the sport. The change is expected to bring judo closer to its earlier form, offering more options for lower-body attacks while maintaining its unique identity.

In response to the news, judo champions and coaches have expressed optimism, with many believing that the reintroduction of morote gari will encourage a more well-rounded game and revive some classic techniques that were overshadowed. Judoka will now have the opportunity to blend powerful leg takedowns with the graceful throws the sport is famous for.

“We’re excited to see judo evolve again, embracing both tradition and modern athleticism,” said IJF President Marius Vizer. “Bringing back morote gari not only honors the sport’s origins but also promises to create more exciting, action-packed matches.”

As the morote gari makes its long-awaited return, judo fans can expect a new wave of strategic battles on the tatami, adding another layer of excitement to the upcoming world tournaments and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
