The story
At the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on the 1st, China’s Tang Jing was disqualified for biting the sleeve of Rin Maeda’s judogi during a ne-waza (groundwork) exchange in the women’s 70kg quarterfinal. A clear bite mark was left near Maeda’s left wrist, visible in footage broadcast by U-NEXT. On 5ch, posters repeatedly brought up Mike Tyson’s infamous ear-biting incident and footballer Luis Suárez’s biting history, while others debated judo’s rules and the dynamics of groundwork.
Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games
At the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on the 1st, the women’s judo 70kg quarterfinal was held, and Rin Maeda defeated Tang Jing (China). Her opponent appears to have bitten Maeda’s judogi, leaving a clear bite mark near her left wrist. Tang Jing, disqualified for the foul, looked unconvinced by the call.
After Maeda took the fight to the ground, Tang Jing appears to have bitten the left sleeve of the judogi in an attempt to fend off the attack. The referee called a stop, and Maeda held up her left hand to the officials to point out the bite. The U-NEXT broadcast also showed the clear bite mark left near her left wrist.

What people said
Start doing that and you're basically an animal.
There's a guy called 'Biter Suárez,' you know.
She's got that total 'whyyy?' face lol
What's going on there
People would just bite their way out of armbars and triangle chokes
Though like with Suárez,
the one doing the biting
can mess up their own teeth too
THAT'S ALL!!!
I guess Pika-san (the comedian behind that catchphrase) really must have passed away by now…
Her jaw strength is insane
Jaw strength is actually stronger than grip strength, but it's also a weak point —
the jaw is the only bone in the human body that's just 'hanging' rather than fixed on both ends
He really does slip right out
A master of the 'Poison Fang Fist' style, huh lol
'When fed and clothed, one learns propriety' is literally a Chinese proverb…
Background and Key Points
Biting has long been designated a strictly prohibited act in judo, resulting in immediate disqualification (with the opponent awarded the win) regardless of the technical score at the time — it’s handled separately from accumulated shido (minor penalties) and isn’t some special rule invented for this match. The Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games are being held in Japan in fall 2026, and this bout took place during that tournament. In the thread, many posters drew comparisons to Mike Tyson’s ear-biting incident and footballer Luis Suárez’s biting history, drawing reactions from both combat-sports and football fans alike. No official explanation for what led to the bite has been given so far, so further details are still awaited. Note that some unfounded comments about nationality also appeared in the thread; those have been excluded from this article.
