Judo footsweeps in depth

[@joellanderson5137]

Nothing like a good foot-sweep. It's like they stepped on a banana peel. Thank for the great instruction.

[@phantom_mist1726]

That why I love them. They look so ridiculous almost as if staged but it's not lol

[@7784000]

We had a girl in our judoclub, she did a de ashi 90% of the time and it fucking worked. You knew beforehand that she will do de ashi during the fight, but when you didn t watch out for a 10th of a second the sweep hit you. She had a awesome timing, thats it.

[@orvilleclisby6748]

Well, I actually prefer a dramatic throw.

[@sherwin3]

De ashi harai and sasae are two of the most humiliating throws when you get nailed by them. However, they are sooooo satisfying when executed right though

[@jlogan2228]

Being a bigger more muscular person I used to HATE doing foot sweep drills bc I just wanted to muscle my way through a hip throw or something. My shihan noticed and said for a month I could only use foot sweeps in sparring. Once I figured out the timing aspect like you said now they are my go-to bc they are so much faster easier and sneakier

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

@J Logan - Excellent comment and my main martial disciplines are Korean Hwa Rang Do , Jeet Kune Do and western boxing . After a few hours with an excellent teacher in Judo , I realized what I was missing . Getting put down with foot sweeps by smaller opponents was an eye opener and icing on the cake . All the best .

[@dijks350]

Im a smaller muscular person who loves seoi nage, ouchi and osoto but I suck at footsweeps. Any tips?

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

@@dijks350 Use your size and a low center of gravity to your advantage . Don't go "toe to toe " & height per height with a taller opponent . Don't forget - One form of a leg sweep is actually a well executed kick with forward momentum and power . Keep moving and don't stay static . Don't be where you are supposed to be . Don't be "there" . ATB

@@QuantumMechanic_88 "Excellent comment and my main martial disciplines are Korean Hwa Rang Do , Jeet Kune Do and western boxing" -- The only thing you are a master of is "bull-shit-do" you lying fool, pretending to be a master of multiple styles. All three of those styles you mentioned are pretty detailed and complex. There's alot of concepts to learn from just one of them and you'd be hard pressed to learn everything or as much as you can from even just one. It won't help if you're taking two other styles each with their own fighting methods and concepts that may end up interfering or contradicting with what you're learning in the other style. You won't have time to absorb what you learn, before another style teaches you something different that's contrary to what you just learnt. For example how do you learn hwa rang do which is very traditional, has forms, kata and then learn jkd which is more modern and encourages you to break traditional patterns and forms which HRD may actually encourage you to do? What's lacking in JKD that you still need to take two other styles along with it?? doesn't jkd teach you enough already?? There's already ALOT to learn in jkd itself (along with those two other styles you mentioned) that you'd hardly have time to learn them all, let alone deal with contradicting concepts that may occur between them. Yes, some styles are complementary and can work well with other styles when you combine the knowledge. For example: boxing and wrestling. One works with striking, the other with grappling. Or wrestling and bjj .. both are dealing with grappling and you can benefit by combining the knowledge learnt from both. Or MMA and bjj. where you combine your ground game from MMA with more bjj knowledge and training. Some things can work together, but NOT in all cases. JKD and hwarang do have different foundations/core in their fighting methods. Both cover a range of different techniques from striking, grappling, self defence etc but each have their own different principles and way about doing them that don't blend as well with each other. One style may say: "use this stance" and another style says: "you don't need stances".

[@meerestegal2970]

Your transitions from one throw to the next are great. My sensei always gets angry when someone misses a throw and backs out to try again from a neutral position. He says it is like saying "I tried and missed, now it's your turn. It is never the other guy's turn."

[@davidrobin3184]

As a coach, When you were at a tournament wrestling in high school for Scarsdale everybody in the gym would stop and watch you because we knew something exciting was about to happen. Usually you would execute some nice throw or foot sweep. Glad to see your a coach now

[@JohnWhite-mr3ec]

@@45calibermedic Good for you, safety should be upper most in any dojo as is respect. Don't stop completely look for a club that allows people to take part or watch without any money or membership fee paid, before joining. So you can have a chance to evaluate its ethos. I like you have had to leave a club due to a Sifu had the wrong attitude. At the time I was a 2nd Dan in Karate and had taken up Kung Fu as a second discipline after my Sensei had dead. This was in the early 1990's. I went on to archive Brown belt in Aikido and by the end of the 90's have my 1st Dan in Judo. The reason I have told you this is that I have some knowledge looking for the right club. Know what you want from Judo, I was looking to be more rounded in body and mind, but none of my Senseis or Sifu taught the spiritual side, I got that from doing these disciplines. Sorry went on a bit there, all my best
