Another ex-judoka fighting in UFC 84.

Yoshiyuki Yoshida - '4th dan judo black belt and numerous titles' wanted to see what else he could do after retiring from judo.

He's got a 9-2 record. Undefeated in his last 6.

That makes 3 at UFC 84

..none on the main card tho.

kosoto is another good basic.

I would just stick with the 1st 3 tho. They good for getting better.

Ogoshi does alot to prep for many more hip throws like harai, uchimata..

Just go front and back 1st imo.

Yea that is what my friend recommended,t o stick to the baic 3 just cause they teach you movements well.

Now i need to find quality youtube vids of them all

Those 3 forward and back throws are ok for you, make sure you have someone monitoring your form for the uchi-komi though because what you are doing there is training your muscle memory, and if you train it incorrectly its hard to fix later.

so tru. I find it hard to believe I could learn w/o a good partner and more importantly a coach.

Not to disenchant kaboom, but it goes thru so much troubleshooting...you might end up wondering why it never works at speed.

Even 1 on 1 with a private can't do beans imo, without a solid base. Unless the private also brings an uke.

My o-uchi blows so much that I dont think Ive ever hit one in randori or comp for this very reason as I did it all wrong for years in uchi-komi with nobody really pointing it out. Its kinda embarrassing, when a beginner calls me over to ask for help with o-uchi Im kinda embarrassed as mine blows.

ot but..Did you train judo thru puberty? I mean, to me I like ouchi for instance but it has changed simply due to the ages and weight. Puberty is such a benefit to have some judo down.

edit..ahh.. that gives me a idea on explaining my reasons for liking gi prior to nogi.

Started a little later than that, but the damage was done early on with this throw. One of the basics, I also never get thrown with it though, in fact thinking of it now, Ive never been canned by it once I dont think, Ive nailed several people going in for it with counter, knocked one dude out with an ura-nage when he tried it on me.

O-uchi
