Judo stopped for a year and a half and now everyone on the international circuit seems to be doing tomoe nage/yoko tomoe nage. I have no particular comments, just making an observation and thought itβd be cool to share.
One of my favorite throws and my go to when playing gi with an aggressive opponent pressing forward is tomoe nage. I wrestled so my no-gi game is pretty good, but absolutely love this throw in the gi. But for tomoe nage, if you miss the throw, what is the risk? It seems like you could quickly go into some type of sweep utilizing a few different guards like de la riva, single leg x, x guard, etc off a failed tomoe nage. Is there a major risk for an opponent passing? If so what pass would it be?
Hey there guys. I'm studying the Seoi Nage right now. Been really looking into the differences in how you attack with different grips such as Ippon or Morote, etc. I've been checking out a lot of how the Seoi Nage and the Seoi Otoshi (or as a lot people like to call it "Drop Seoi Nage") is done through both instructionals and randori.
Can you guys shed some light on when you like to go for either the standing or the drop variants? Is there any kind of differing actions or responses from your opponent that you look for before deciding to go either of the two routes? When is it the appropriate time to go for one over the other? Thanks!
Hi all, new to judo my coach taught me ippon seoi nage and my knees are always facing outward (like a squat) when I bend down before the throw. Coach said it needs to be bend fowards. Is there a reason for this? Seems odd
Armspin if anyone isn't familiar. I'm sure you know what a drop seoi nage looks like.
Why do wrestlers shoot their hips so far "past" their opponent when doing an armspin? Seoi nage seems to have hips much more in line with your opponents, if I did an armspin in judo class my sensei would probably tell me I overrotated my seoi nage.
On the flip side though, I do honestly prefer armspin style hip movement because I get my hips out of the way of my opponent so when I drop I don't get their entire weight plus mine dropping on my knees. So I guess I could also ask, why isn't all drop seoi nage done armspin style?
Does anyone here favour the double lapel grip?
I have previously only used it for Tomoe Nage but now feel quite comfortable with it trying Osoto Gari and Sasai Tsuri Komi Ashi. I see for some throws it would be a disadvantage to not have a sleeve grip but I have started experimenting and feel quite in control with this grip.
Also I have noticed Shohei Ono sometimes uses it when he fights.
What are your thoughts on the double lapel grip and what throws do you use with it?
I'm an Osoto Gari thrower, and I love the throw very much. I've thrown many people with it in randori and in matches at tournaments. It's a very satisfying throw for me whenever I execute it cleanly against people. I can throw it on both sides (right and left) with no problems. However, a big hole in my game is not having a big forward throw. I even made a post about it here a while ago talking about Koshi Guruma as a possibility.
After much thinking and trying out a bunch of forward throws, I finally know what I'm going to focus on from now on. I decided on Ippon Seoi Nage; simply because it's pretty natural for me, it's one of the foundational throws in Judo, I can pair it with my Osoto Gari, and it's also a lot of fun.
Anyway, I just wanted to share. I hope you all are having a good time training!
About a year of judo experience here. When I do seoi nage, I notice that when I come in for the corkscrew and end on the balls of my feet, I often wobble and lose balance.
My question is whether this is really a matter of balance, or whether it's a matter of strength... and how to correct this?
What exercises can I do on my own outside the dojo to correct this?
a) bodyweight squats
b) dumbbell squats at higher reps, lower weights
c) barbell squats at lower reps, higher weights
d) balance exercises of various kinds (like standing on one leg with my eyes closed, etc.)
e) just tons and tons of seoi nage uchikomis with resistance bands
f) something else
What's most likely to fix this? Thanks.
We teach Nage no Kata from green belt on:
Green: Te waza (part of the blue belt exam)
Blue: Koshi waza und Ashi waza (with Te waza part of the brown belt exam)
Brown: Sutemi Waza and Nage no Kata as Tori and Uke (part of the Black Belt exam)
My question:
How do you teach Nage no Kata?
Do you teach different to Teens and Adults?
Where is your focus?
Do you specific didactics?
Where are the problems?
A rather basic seoi nage question.
When you turn and pivot, the back is said to be kept straight. But the knees are already bent, correct? One pivots into a mild squat.
Also -- feet flat on the ground rather than on the balls of your feet, right?
The person is loaded by pulling them smack like a pancake on to your back.
And then in some but not all renditions there is a further lowering, correct? And this happens through the knees going lower still...
And then and only then do you bend forward and finish. Until this time the back has been kept straight.
Correct?
Which one of these throws do you think is better against a short and strong opponent between soto makikomi and drop seoi nage. Which one is harder to defend against and what is the pros and cons of each?
I just noticed on Bandcamp and Spotify that the band's self-titled album has been updated to a "2021 Remaster" ahead of the vinyl release. I knew the physical was going to be remastered, but didn't expect to see it on the digital platforms so soon. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.
