Technique is what works.
Good technique is what works often.

What is the technique a pot-maker needs? Whatever art allows him to make pots. What is the technique a judo player needs? Whatever technique allows him to score Ippon.

Who cares if the pot-maker sings and dances while making his pots? That might make the sight more enjoyable, but it has nothing to do with his pot-making technique.

Problem is: traditional guys think there are only as much techniques in Judo as there are entries in the GO-KYO. Well here is one thought that should make you feel awesome, Judo mystics: There are as many Judo techniques as there are stars in the universe. The GO_KYO is just a list of names really. If a technique doesn't fit one category, it doesn't make it less 'technical'.
