Was Kano right? Does technique overcome power

Teddy Riner does weights for sure!!I was talking with a team mate of mine recently and we came across an interesting point regarding competition.Have you ever entered a tournament, and your first fight was against someone you have never fought before, and you didn't know anything about them?Usually you try to get a sneak peak of them in the weigh in room. You may think to yourself:-Do they look strong?-Do they look fit?-Do they look tough?You try to have a look at their physical appearance you try to size them up.-Do they have big traps and forearms?-How big are their calves and quads?Now it's fight time! The referee says 'hajime" and the fight begins. You and your opponent begin circling and engage in some grip fighting, then your opponent gets a hold of you.....and a little voice in the back of your head says, "Wow, this guy is soooo strong! This is going to be a battle"Does this sound familiar?Have you been there before? Did you notice that throughout the entire 'sizing up' process, nothing regarding their technique went through your mind?When the fight starts the first thing you notice is your opponent's strength or lack of strength.>>>>Discover the strength training exercises all Judoka should be doing<<<>>>Discover the strength training exercises all Judoka should be doing<<<<
