Yeah...he's a little tiger. I was reading a little on the history and it was invented by this guy who had trouble getting a teacher for martial arts because he was too small and skinny (and he got picked on a lot in school). So he started his own martial arts school which used ideas from physics in constructing the moves. And in a lot of cases, the smaller person (if they know what they are doing) has a definite advantage over the bigger taller person.
Also - judo matches don't usually last longer than 2 minutes...so if you're out of shape don't worry! It'll be over soon regardless of who wins!
