Agreed!!

Ono is true master class judoka

Yes. Contact lenses payed hell with my eyesight and nearly turned me blind. They are smash proof flexible glasses and I am very short sighted, without them.

It’s a style of uchikomi, when you do the throw it’s different

@JudoLife Oder sooooooo holen Kreuz gleich Kreuzgriff.

sorry I cant see why you would want to cross grip this technique. It is very frontal direct attack and relies on timing and speedy entry. A cross grip situation? Please explain your way?

@@JudoLife Eben holen Kreuz gleich frontal Gegengriff. Du kennst nur Judo.

That is a high level drill to show how Judo can increase confidence in falling, you will be starting from the basics with a professional teacher and be safe. Of course if you haven’t yet started you have fear of falling from previous bad experiences. Once you commence drills you learn to relax, and gradually but eventually overcome this fear.

@ thanks for the advice. I have messed up ankles from past injuries, and am pretty inflexible. Still going to give judo a go soon, figure at the very least will teach my to fall without fking myself up.

@@cruelreality7600 do diligence on break falls and rolling to train your body to fall exactly, accuracy is required for mitigating injuries

It’s the basic standard static version. Crunch the numbers of static uchikomi, then move onto moving forward backwards and sideways versions, finally circling and add resistance and 3 person versions. But the first one to learn is this, even though we circle more often than not and it’s so hard to achieve chest contact in randori, that it’s often Ken Ken (hopping) version or osoto otoshi or hybrid like Ono does.

I have thrown a super heavy weight with it. It was like flipping an omelette

It’s blue belt and white belt for score board sides referee’s, not a grade level indicator. Yes kids pump energy into the sport. Judo is a very child friendly development sport, for long term growth

You can make it happen by following the drill. That the point of sharing it.

The logic in this grip is control in the throw. It’s a specialist grip to avoid judoka twisting out of the landing. It can’t be avoided easily, by elbow gripping.

Yes. Of course it’s a logical efficiency attacking move. Difference is in judo we all know it, how it works and how to counter and avoid it, making everyone upskill their entry and the opponents improve their defence.

This version is attacking not defensive

Training camp in New Caledonia

Sorry about that. Every judo throw is very complex. Only judoka can understand the actions, and they even need insight from significant training.

I simplified a very complex range of actions to bare bones simplest key points. I challenge you to demonstrate what you are complaining about. I look forward to your videos.

ouch, didn't you have a teacher to correct you? I like to think these are just reinforcement of a teachers instruction. Best to start low and on a crash mat for safety.

yes I think so too.

Exactly, very hard to teach commitment. But I teach it anyway but link to opposite side Sasae and Osoto gaeshi so it’s countered well and show Ken Ken version too. All these things add up to a better understanding of
