1. The photos are all slightly underexposed. This is because the camera sees the white clothes and thinks it's bright and deliberately underexposes. Next time try adding some exposure compensation, like +0.3 or +0.7
2. Fill the judo guys in a more interesting position. In the 2nd picture there is too much space around the players, and the ref in the back is stealing the attention. The background of ppl is also distracting. After all, your goal is to capture the intenseness of the match, so the main focus should be the guys.
3. The 3rd picture cut off too much of the competitors, and framed a little weird, I don't really know what to look at or where to focus my attention.
4. Show the faces more! Faces, especially in sports, often have a lot of emotion, so they can add a lot to the pictures.
5. Move around! All 3 shots were shot at the same spot...
Happy shooting!

thanks for the advice. the first 2 tips are really useful. i can't really do much about the last 2 though unfortunately. really hard to capture the big throws, they don't always face you. especially right handers. left handers are the best to shoot. the following pic, the guy is a lefty.
and it was kinda hard to move around. this pic will show how crowded the mat area is in the background.
have a tourney coming up this sat, so thanks for the help liquidturbo.
