a highlight of Swedish judo, great song btw, I like hip hop as mucvh as the next white scared guy but finally a song for us UFC fans

the throw at about 20 seconds when he kinda sits down and gets his legs what is that? any "official name" looks like it would combine two of my favourite things, sliding tackles from football and leg picks!

looked like a single leg variation to me.

it looked kind of like a ko soto gake, except he grabbed the leg along with hooking it

looks like a weird variation of a fireman's carry

Some nice muthafuckin throws in there.

That's what I thought when I read his description, but didn't look like that at all to me in the vid.

It is called the Laats kata-guruma (named after the Belgian Judo player Johan Laats who 'invented' it) or aka the sit-through/seated kata-guruma.

Damn! Your getting good at this. I was just gonna' say Kata Guruma.

I'm working on getting this throw because it's so beautiful. I'd say I'm about 10% there.
