O-UCHI----OSOTO COMBINATION



You're welcome fellow Judokas!!!

[Drew Foster]

This vid has skyrocketed my Osoto percentages. I feel like even the best technicians get their initial move maybe 10-15% of the time without having to use a combo or flow into another move. These three vids, have upped my randori OSOTO percentages by a huge margin already. Yamashita has one of the cleanest I've ever seen. I wish I could've been at this seminar.

Thanks, there's some good tips in there. I forget to concentrate enough on my support leg. The grip with toes and pull with hamstring is good advice.

A few tips he failed to mention (with absoloutely no disrespect intended to Yamashita Sensei) in the vids that I've learned through the years would be to put your hip passed your opponents (obvious, yet never fully realized by alot of players), and to use your shoulder (lapel grip arm) to check your opponent while entering the throw to further throw off his kuzishi.

Osoto Gari is a mean mistress.

Even tho he didn't mention it I'm pretty nsure he used the lapel side grip to check with his shoulder. Either way. You got solid pints too man.

Sensei Brad Farrow (3 time Olympian, 6th Dan... I believe anyways) showed me how to do an Osoto Gari with no hands and no reap... he basically got grips and just walked pass me... he said, build your throw around that...

It seems so simple, but I catch myself hooking with my leg long before my hips even come close to his...

You can throw someone straight to hell with this throw using only components of it, imagine if you build on it using them all. Kimura's students used to ask him no to do this throw in randori. ..something to think about.

I used to do Ninjutsu under a sandan in Judo and he used to make me do throws with no hands in order to get my "core body movement" right. I've done drills like that. Then when you actually do add the hands. DAMN!


But actually I do one of my Osotos by just grabbing and stepping off to a rear 45 degree angle, no pushing or pulling. I just move and carry him with me and the bam, take the leg out. I think that's similar at least a little to your Sensei.

I usually do that one, this Yamashita one, Dan Camarillo's hook and hop in, and am working on Isao Okano's Ouchi entry. I have a LOOONG way to go. Grappling is a lifelong endeavor man.
