I can't really see the "Gentle" part of Judo or Jujitsu. Surely weight and strength must play a part in being able to "shift" a person? Isn't that why Sumo wrestlers are the way they are?

There was an article in this months, or last months copy of "Grappling" magazine that had an interview with Helio Gracie in it. In the interview, he said that fighters these days (I think he was referring the quality of fighters in NHB tournaments) rely too much on brute strength rather than techinical skill.
