I tell about knee-drop Seoi-nage in Japanese. We have a rule for children (under 15 years old) in Kodokan rule. Of course, knee-drop Seoinage is not allowed. If one player does the seoin-age , referee gives "Chuui" to the player . When the player do it , there are some serious injuries on his neck and back bone. So in Kodokan Junior rule, it is not allowed , and given "Chuui " ,not "Shido". And sudden "Morote-gari " and " Kani-basami" and " Neck-drop Uchimata " too. We must notice to health and safty of children .
