I think that the judo rules are going to change again, and again, and again until the following is achieved:

Judoka bow , walk to the mark, bow again and the referee shouts "hajime". At this point, each judoka much call insults and offense to the other until one judoka bursts out into tears - at which point they lose. Making any sort of contact with your opponent will result in instant hansokmake.

Seriously though, if you were to put yourself in the IJF's shoes (oh, the comments I could make here) what would the NEXT change of rules involve?

The next *cough* logical step would seem to be rule out any "drop" technique - banning falling to the knees. I WISH they would make a mandatory time in newaza and penalise non-combativity after the match enters the newaza stage - but I fear that is not likely.

Thoughts? Theories?

Hansokumake anytime your shoulders are not perfectly lined up with your ankles.

Maybe that, or no grabbing the belt, or no grabbing over the back, or no . . . .

My bet is they will ban any high collar grips or gripping around the back. Grips will be limitted to the arms and the lapel below the colar bone. Even though it will eliminate several valid judo techniques, at least it will get rid of those pesko greco roman and sambo influenced throws.

Actually I was going to say ban any grip outside of the traditional lapel/sleeve kumikata in my original post. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

What I personally would like to do? Osae Komi for hooks in backmount. Osae is supposed to be awarded for placing your opponent in a helpless position and being flattened out on your stomach with hooks in is as vulnerable as you can get.

Shido for stepping on the lines of the mat intersections

Hansokumake for nodding your head at beginning of match instead of bowing from the waist.

Hansokumake for stepping over the tape with your right foot first instead of your left at beginning of match.

Newaza-rama for your momma in Yokohama. MANDATORY or hansokumake.

I would prefer to see stalling in newaza penalized as passivity. It just seems...consistent.
