Judo's Most Overlooked Ashiwaza: Sasae

[@codylee2818]

I was on the receiving end of a quite perfect sasae outside of the grocery store. I misjudged the curb and it perfectly stopped my foot, sending me right over.

[@Luffy-su1ho]

Rip

[@Adeshgrg]

Bro you robbing someone? 😂

[@leebruno1722]

Black belt curb right there

[@vulpemariav]

thank you for rekindling my love for martial arts (I used to do aikido several years back)...and finally on Monday i am starting judo. it's going to be an fun and exciting new challenge and I am happy to have your content as part of my journey

[@dustykercheif7044]

How did it go?

[@fireballstreamer913]

How was it

[@tylerdurden4289]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news…. He didn’t make it ☠️

[@Ahmed_el_Ankaoui]

I love the dynamics of this video, George is great but I suppose Kevin is growing on me. Thank you.

[@2012Jessilene]

I used to do Judo as I was growing up, now I'm on my 30s and returning as veteran. This 6 months has been great! Thanks for creating this content, It's been really inspiring.

[@tomsawyer7429]

Shintaro: “George, George, George of the Jungle, Oh where can he be? [Tarzan cry]… I need my old uke!”

[@eberhardkieslich2538]

Really enjoy your communication with your ukes. Funny and interesting. I like seeing adults working on their judo. Your techniques are nice to watch, and your understanding is very good.

[@ShinjiCarlos]

I've never trained this technique properly. I have been watching some channels and this technique popped up. I was so amazed that I was practicing in the shadow for a couple of days. Today I was able to do that in the randori all of sudden. I am so so happy!

[@Jay-kt1kd]

Thank you! I was just thinking about learning/ drilling this throw and now it has popped up on my feed! Must be fate.

[@KingOfSwords720]

Must be. I don't believe in coincidence 👍

[@J3unG]

Always awesome, awesome work. One the best judo and grappling channels on youTube. I've been a martial artist for over 40 years and your tutorials are very clear and I learn a lot from them. I'm not a judo man and I learn a little bit each time. Keep up the good work.

[@bigmo931]

Nice options. I often like to do sumi from the over the back grip. I never thought about doing sasae with that same grip. I feel a nice combination could stem from this!

[@craigmiller7686]

I love the energy in your videos. I would love to train at your gym someday.

[@PeterJames143]

wait do I have to yell "sasae!" when I'm doing it? :)

[@michaelcantrell4691]

Obviously! 😃

[@Luffy-su1ho]

Definitely

[@RogrM6]

Omg! I'm totally doing this next time 😳 full on anime character

[@vovantuongquang8586]

i yell harai when i do harai goshi

[@chcknpie04]

You guys always look like you’re having so much fun in these videos

[@Jonathan-gr9bo]

man this video is pure gold! the best one yet, can't wait to throw my mate tomorrow they won't know what happened to them

[@serekithegreat]

Sasae is extremely effective on the tatami as well as in the street. It’s an awesome foot throw, especially for taller judokas. Go judo. 🥋😎🤙🏾🙌🏾

[@JayBeito]

Love the combo's! Thank you!!!

[@razhocarjr]

Badass. I need to practice that. Thank you.

[@KingOfSwords720]

Great vid! Judo is a lot more technical than you would think, until you start training.

[@jestfullgremblim8002]

I agree, every martial art is like this

[@ericr2617]

Would you please enlighten us in depth on sasae for a no go setting?

[@2012Jessilene]

Very very good! I'm gonna try it !

[@WayneManifesto]

Ah yes, sneaky uchimata, my favourite kind of sasae

[@mmongiello722]

Judoman kicks ass in the peace maker series!

[@Jordans529]

We need more Judo schools

[@nickaa121212]

Oh man I love these.

[@divemtt]

Question: Where's George? Nice to see a little humor. Great job, keep up the good work!

[@2elims-986]

Could you make a video on how to do classic uchimata and classgc harai goshi on smaller opponents and ehat grips to use?

[@AmirSalaamPeace]

I really loved this video. Poor Kevin

[@hukit0]

Do you think the no-gi variation of the belt-grip sasae would still work? i.e., with a low underhook and inside tie to the far arm

[@nicks5406]

I’ve done it with some success the last two weeks- I really like that mirrored underhook position in no gi

[@hukit0]

@@nicks5406 Thank you!

[@christopherakiwowo3102]

Excellent 🥋🥋🥋

[@bfish9700]

Someone told me once (over 20 years ago) Sasae isn't a foot technique, it's a hand technique. I never had good luck with it because at the time I was competing at 132lbs.

[@larsvandewouw6576]

Why do you not have a video about harai tsuri komi ashi

[@Grindgodgrind]

Sasae is probably my favourite technique, I'm interested as to why you think it's overlooked though.

[@krommer66]

My favorite throw.

[@thomasc.champion4066]

Bro what you talkin bout I’m subscribed!

[@BlairPittams]

As someone looking into judo and who suffers from drugged induced schizophrenia and occasionally I have LSD flash backs, could training my body be mentally stabilizing

[@hahaha00000]

Of course! Having good physical shape gives one piece of mind.

[@noway2451]

I guess you would want to talk about this with your therapist/psychiatrist but generally physical exercise seems to influence the mental state positively. Just dont expect any miracles.

[@marksoberay2318]

Which of the St Ledger twins had that brutal Sasae?

[@alexandrehuat773]

This comes out of nowhere. How am I supposed to replicate such perfect technique ? 😅😂

[@macariolopez8965]

"You have to know this position before going to this position." I guess that goes for every position 😊. But you have play that position before getting to really know it😁🙏.

[@hansen704]

Great video 👍…..

[@mardisdarwis]

What is different between " *Sasae* " and " *De-Ashi Barai* " ?

[@SenselessUsername]

Beyond both being ashiwaza, what's the similarity between those?! But sasae (like hizaguruma) you block the leg into place, while barai you catch an unloaded leg and mow it out of the way.

[@DanieleBolelli1]

Poor Kevin...

[@vittocrazi]

sasae on me competition matches. it may be im low level, but it always intrigues me how people incorporate it on the setup for other things but rarely see it as a legit finisher throw. May be because its less satidfying than ashi barai

[@eliasschneeberger1337]

If you make them believe you go for osoto there it is and vice versa

[@mfp5585]

The finals of the -73 kg at the 2021 Tokio olympics Ono won with a beautiful sasae

[@shannons1886]

Colton Brown has entered the chat…

[@shayantheunworthy3390]

Awesome 🤙🏻 Don't break Kevin's nuts too much!

[@ericlee1226]

Love the shaming of Uki...

[@navnnavn1226]

I build my entire plan around sasae lol

[@Danskerne1]

Is that other guy really a Black belt

[@mmongiello722]

Positive judo comment.

[@chau2k5]

SASAE!

[@nonspecifie4351]

GEORGE!!!!

[@johnhaworth7034]

Poor Kevin 😂😂😂

[@PeperoniTV]

Where ia Geoooooorg 🤣

[@razhocarjr]

You should have said. No the guy behind you. Lol.

[@BryceNewtson]

He may not be a good uke, but he sure is a good sport! :P

[@CountryPup1]

Meh uke l

[@Fanaro]

Maybe start the videos with the literal Japanese meaning of the words? Wtf does Sasae mean in Japanese? What does it mean in Judo for an expert?

[@davidc2166]

I can't believe ukie is a black belt.appears lost, must be handing out belts at this club.

[@Kwisatz-Chaderach]

I can't believe you don't know how to spell Uke.

[@stex5026]

Poor Kevin...
