Are bicep slicers allowed in judo competitions?

    I'm pretty sure you're technically not allowed. It is only legal to attack the elbow and shoulder joint. But I've seen loads of people using slicers to get the arm bar and i've seen people just tap from the slicer and i've never seen anyone be penalised for applying a bicep slicer.

    Strictly speaking shoulder locks aren't allowed either.

    Ude garami (the Kimura) and sankakugatame (omoplata) are actually considered elbow locks in Judo :D

    In theory shoulder locks are illegal, but we all use and drill these techniques in practice, and in competition its impossible for a ref to know where the lock is being applied.

    The splicer is the same, anyone could argue that the attacker is just trying to break grips for an armbar.

    OP, judo has lots of little dirty tricks like this.
