Accidental, but Horrific Leg Injuries in Womens Judo

A look at leg injuries in womens judo. Leg locks are illegal techniques in Judo, however due to the dynamic nature of the sport, horrendous leg injuries can occur. This video looks at a number of examples of these and compares them to the types of holds popular in grappling. One thing I've noticed is that all, but one of these injuries occured in a left vs right situation, so it has me rethinking the level of risk involved in going against an opponent with an opposite sided stance. 0:00 Intro 0:24 Knee-bar (hiza-juji-gatame) 0:54 Example 3 1:22 Heel hook 2:24 Armbar - juji-gatame 3:07 Ashi-garami variation / Z-Lock 3:40 Leg injury during transition from standing to newaza 3:51 Leg injury during newaza 4:35 Ai Shishime vs Amandine Buchard ends by leg injury　志々目愛 For more information on traditional judo leg locks, I recommend Chadi's channel and if you want to see Kani-basami injuries, there is a good video on Grappler Kingdom's channel.
