Near-Death for the One-Handed Sode
In 2010, the IJF began introducing new rules that included the banning of leg grabs. At first it was a partial ban that permitted leg grabs when done as a combination attack. But one-handed sode, even when done as a two-step movement, the way Smadga and Arencibia did it, was not considered a combination. And with that, the new IJF rules effectively killed the one-handed sode.
