Are you kidding me? What an honor to see a legend not only perform his technique, but breaks it down to such specificity that leaves you stunned. Thank you so much for posting and sharing this wealth of knowledge.

[@MrChigapo]

one of the best instructionals I've seen with so many crucial details including where to hold your fingers. wow! Illiadis needs to do more videos. Thank you Travis!

[@agimcomas]

Illiadis is not only a great judoka, but also an excellent instructor! Thanks for the video.

[@a.parker915]

Wow, grip like Yama Arashi, footwork like Ashi Guruma, but the outcome is a Seoi Nage! Brilliant! Thank you Master Iliadis!

[@jkool1919]

Wow, a legend of judo!

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Yes he is!

We do loads of this at our club and just call it the Illiadis throw. Great instructional video, thanks

[@konstantinos-antoniosbme-m6472]

Ilias have been teaching this eri seio nage to my club here in Greece .... ultra power tech! Our back hearts until now😂😂😂😂😂

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

It's such a strong throw!

[@tarasbulba77]

Super . He used the same grip as for Yama Arashi and a very interesting foot work, but one has to be Ilias or Travis to pull this off 👍

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

It really does help if you're one of use. But there are a lot of judo players on the circuit who do a version of this. If you work on it I'm sure you could do it as well.

[@tomwalker389]

Travis Stevens I also use this grip for Tai Otoshi. Learnt it in the Vlad Koulikov instructional.

Definitely one of the best ever . This channel is great Travis is also one of the best to step on the mat so to have him showing techniques that he used and other judoka is awesome.

This is great, we would like to see you doing in depth explanation, from basic to randori and opportunity applications. Thank you Sensei.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Great suggestion! I just shot a whole dvd on my Ippon Seoi Nage where I go over a lot of those concepts. Illiadis also has a dvd explaining those concepts for his style of judo. You should check them out at www.judofanatics.com

[@KOP1968]

A big thank you for sharing!

[@lj3287]

I love how he breaks it all down.....great teaching skills.

[@Damo1981]

It's good to see techniques broken down step by step. I like to visualise all techniques in a self defence situation. Some of the judo techniques I've come across, I find hard to accept as I feel they're impractical in such scenarios but others I think, they make perfect sense.

[@abc80s74]

This is an awesome version of ippon seoi nage.

[@gregorde]

That cheat step and grip are really interesting. I learned a more Koga style of this but I think this version is better for me.

[@EdwardElric00]

Very nice Travis is super awesome

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Thanks!

[@Wickedywack]

I was actually just thinking of exploring that big turning step he used and maybe adding it into my game. I know it's popular, but I've never used it. This should be a good way to start incorporating it into my game.

Let me know how it goes.

[@fozzit]

Whoa!! It's like a Yama Arashi plus seoi which is pretty dope to be honest. The pivot to backstep looks unstoppable to counter

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

almost unstoppable when done right.

[@littlebighumancom]

Awesome

[@youspriz1]

the principle of extension!just before the throw it looks like a karate stance

[@bartofilms]

Aw Yeah!!! The great Iliadis. Rio '07. He had some big throws. A standing Kata Garuma.in which his Uke was fully horizontal above his head before he turned it over for the perfect Ippon. He barely lost that championship n Golden Score to the Georgian with that powerful over the shoulder belt grip that I never could figure out Cheers.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

He’s such an amazing judo player!!!

When asked a question in russian it made me smile. Unexpected and funny.

He does it here at the 2004 Athens Olympics: * 1st round at 3:55: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYjZn4FvjrWdi80 * and the semi final he mentions in the video, at 1:10: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnO6aZajmciIe6s

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

I hope people find your comment and watch those videos those are some epic throws.

[@xelarrexelarre979]

🙌

[@jleano609]

More accurate to call this Morote Seoi-Toshi with double lapel grip. Very cool though!

[@jleano609]

I appreciate that Illiadis himself refers to it as Seoi-Nage but if you look at other YT instructionals others refer to it as seoi-otoshi, even when referencing Illiadis technique.Craig Fallon (RIP) for instance;kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmGkqmuAeJWBfs0. But you bring up an interesting point - some make the distinction between seoi-nage vs. seoi-otoshi based on foot placement and stance (feet inside vs. one inside, one outside as per tai-otoshi) but others such as yourself and indeed some Kodokan instructionals make the distinction based on whether uke is lifted (nage) or pulled down (otoshi). But many versions of tai-otoshi and it's morote equivalent (stance wise) use the calf against shin "leg pop" variation to pop uke up and then down over the outstretched leg. And in any case it can also be argued that the "otoshi" descriptor in these throws refers to Tori's dropping action, not ukes (even in other Kodokan vids).Bottom line - it's a grey area! - and of course Nage just means throw so isn't every throw "Nage"? :-)One thing for sure though - Illiadis' technique has both hands gripping so it can't be Ippon-Seoi. Double hand gripping lapels is Morote-Eri as you rightly point out and it's still largely a shoulder throw so Morote-Eri-Seoi. I prefer in my coaching to refer to the stepping dropping action as otoshi and teach this throw as a mixture of morote seoi upper body and tai-otoshi lower body (sort of - in actuality the outstretched leg steps deeper to block as opposed to conventional tai-otoshi). 3rd Dan USAJudo Certified Coach BTW.That's the fun in judo - once you get into these hybrid grip variation techniques we can all argue about what strictly to call the throw based on it's relationship to other more conventional techniques, but often grey areas exist.

[@waikrujudovic]

Seio-Toshi agreed

[@iorekby]

Y'all seem like the kind of Judo students who would be trying to intellecutalise Judo, and while you were doing so guys like Ilias would be picking you up and slamming you on to the mat lol! To re-purpose an old boxing idiom "All the time, they're thinking. And while they're thinking, I'm throwing 'em"

[@Nebuchanezher]

@@iorekby that saying doesn't work very well with judo, almost if not all high level judokas are judo nerds. There are definitly some that have internalized judo only into their body and not at all in their minds, but they can't compete in high level tournaments, because they'll be out smarted. Nerding about details like this also often ends up improving ones understanding of the techniques, which often gives synergy and inspiration in other areas of ones judo skills.
