bjj white belt vs judo black belt

interesting video.. any comments

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...2430&q=bj+penn

There's a couple of things wrong with that clip. Firstly the title. If its a "Judo black belt competition" why is a white belt allowed enter?.

The quality isn't good enough for us to tell if their black belts. In Judo competitions the players fight (usually) with either white or red belts, regardless of their rank.

These so called black belts in the clip fight like novice players. They lack everything, aggression, techniques, conditioning etc..

I doubt this is a "black belt competiton", sorry.

It's BJ Penn...

Yea I had the same thoughts when I first saw it as well..

Was this shot in 1942

BJ Penn is the man...but I agree with the posts above, that other guy looks out of place.

bj penn might of been wearin a white belt, but he was no white belt, no white belt fights like that and the other guy definately did not fight like a black belt, I hope no one is using that to compare Judo with BJJ.

I have no doubt the Judo guy was a BB but make no mistake BJ was not a whitebelt..maybe a good blue or purple.

He is called "The Prodigy" because he picked things up very fast but he is sandbagging in that video. lol
