Yes, I have done Tai-otoshi with these grips. Very doable.

My condolences for the loss of your father. I just lost my dad in December. Unfortunately, I never got to meet your dad in person, but we communicated through social media and shared many of the same views (as we from the same generation). I thoroughly enjoyed the interview with him with his unique blend of wit and wisdom. I do make it to Idaho occasionally and would love to stop by to visit the academy.

A very common counter for O-soto-gari is O-soto-gaeshi (major outer reversal).

I really enjoyed interviewing Dan. We have very similar views on Judo and Jiu-jitsu.

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!

Thank you. I'm glad you like it. I'll be sure to research Buchecha's version.

I'm not a guard puller. Never have been. My background was Kodokan Judo before Jiu-jitsu. In my dojo, we practice takedowns in every class, every day. One of my missions is to help BJJ students and coaches overcome their hesitation to learn and practice takedowns. It's the primary purpose for this channel.

All BJJ is butt scooters. But every one of them says they don't do it then you go to tournament everyone does it

Great question Jeremiah, There are lots of ways to create opportunities for throws. I'm mostly a counter-fighter and bait the opponent into position. Off balance, fit into position, and execute. (Kuzushi, Tsukuri, and Kake)

Yes. I've used Facebook and KZbin more than IG. So, I'm still learning IG, but I post content there pretty regularly. @TakedownsForJiujitsu

Thanks. I'm working on doing some narrated rolls pretty soon. I don't compete anymore, but I still roll regularly with my students and when I am attending/teaching seminars. I have some older footage that I might dig out of my archives as well.

@@TakedownsForJiujitsu Thanks for answering. I would love to see videos of you rolling for sure

Thank you!

Thanks for your input. I see this comment frequently and I've actually seen it called Sode-tsurikomi-goshi and I can understand why. However, the reason I refer to it as a seoi-nage is because of the mechanics. I bring the arm under the uke's other arm instead of extending it upward. There is no "lifting/pulling" of the sleeve grip. The completion of the throws are slightly different as well. With the sode-tsurikomi-goshi, the uke is thrown over the hip, as is typical with a koshi-waza. With this modified morote-seoi-nage, the uke is thrown over the corner of the shoulder in more of a te-waza fashion. People can call it whatever they choose. I learned it this way from my Kodokan Judo Sensei, Yuzo Kato. Thanks again. I appreciate your input.

Thank you.

Thank you as well. I used to practice in a dojo in orange county CA.

I love the cross arm. Gives a 2 arm option. Sweet
