Judo Study: Shohei Ono's O Soto Gari and special gripping tactic

[@Hobofobico]

Finally someone who can take after The difficult way and Judo mat labs!!! I was waiting for this quality of breakdowns... And you even exceeded my expectations. Thank you!

[@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486]

Glad to hear that, thanks for watching!

[@counterkidnapping1737]

In wrestling you have DPS Breakdown channel. In Judo, you have this channel

[@だいまる-r1p]

never seen Ono's breakdown analysis with this much depth. Great job mate! can't wait to see more breakdowns! I'm looking foward to see 'em.

[@yabryzgalov]

Thank you for your analysis videos! They're very interesting and clear. Especially good, that it shows some kind of details or not traditional use of technics. Looking forward to new videos!

[@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486]

Thank you for watching, glad you liked it!

[@ClaytonLivsey]

Oh my god, I love this video! I was looking for a judo channel like this for so long! The hip hop, the editing, the instruction, it's beautiful! Subscribed! If I can offer a suggestion, switch up the music when you go from one part of the video to another. This video has a lot of information and you edit it really well to show the movements but you might want to break it up with different music every section or so. I'm going to go watch the rest of your videos now. Thank you! This video made my O Soto Gari game stronger!

[@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486]

Thanks man! Glad to hear that. I see your point about the music, I had this thought earlier, but it's kind of hard to find a lot of good songs without strict copyrights, so I have to use them cautiously.

[@chrismaks2518]

That was an excellent breakdown. Well done.

[@DavidPerez-mr3cs]

This guy has just become my hero

[@euanmorse]

Ono also utilises a double sleeve grip for Uchimata. It appears that he often favours more unique grips.

[@yusufs.3797]

Man !!! You did a great JOB here !! Incredible, I know it isn't easy to make these videos especially breaking down and adding details every 5 seconds ! Keep going 😊😉😄💪🏻👌🏻🙏🙏

[@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486]

Thanks, man, appreciate that!

Superb breakdown; very insightful - many thanks

Thank you, glad to hear it was helpful!

[@adamewert3085]

Most of the youtube judo content is ultra basic, but this is so great.

[@rickfinsta2951]

I know this is an old video, but Ono's Osoto Gari that you highlight here is a textbook copy of Koga Toshihiko's technique where he hooks the knee, extends upwards to pin the opponent in place, then takes another step to get into position for reaping. Someone recently started posting his old videos on KZbin if you care to watch. Also, you are somewhat incorrect about the lack of arm control using the "Armpit" grip. The way the Japanese grip the armpit, they gather material from the sleeve *into* the armpit pocket and it gives you a ton of control over the arm and upper body. If done correctly even regripping inside is very difficult for the opponent. I use this grip often against stronger opponents and to negate a gripping advantage without having to switch stance when I get outgripped. Now, getting material gathered into the armpit is quite difficult once your opponent expects it, so you are correct that if you fail to collect sleeve material you lose arm control relative to a standard Tsurite grip. Great video!

[@henriquefrancisco300]

loving the vids. Superb work

[@Marcnshae2011]

It was crazy how many times I hit this technique in randori.

[@NominoêRoisdesBretons]

yo ! awsome work !

[@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486]

Thanks man!

[@mirkelam0]

I'll try it at my randoris, thanks 👍

[@youssefezzat9931]

If you do a video on hashimoto soichi gripping tactics for right hander and for left handers will be great and his special grip for the sleeve

[@ricardoaugustin39]

Mister, first congrats on your channel. I´ve been searching for this content for years. The details and explanations make all the difference in the world. I was wondering if you could recommend me a judo book please? I´m learning judo tactics and technique by myself, and in this days i have the time to push a little bit more. I train boxing, and, i believe that judo grips, footwork, movement and tactics will help to improve my clinch-close distance. I´m a huge judo fan. Please continue with this videos!! Thank you in advanced

[@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486]

Thanks for watching, glad to hear that! When it comes to books there are many great Judo books, it really depends on what are you looking for. There is a good thread on reddit about Judo books that has a lot of options and even some links (www.reddit.com/r/judo/comments/ak67js/help_i_cannot_seem_to_stop_buying_judo_books/). I hope this helps you.

[@smileyme2434]

it is very hard to understand the art of judo. thank you for this video, really clear explanation 🤩🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486]

Thank you for watching!

[@dirtydirt2482]

He is 3 times world champion now and probably next olympic gold.

[@SV-bo8yn]

Can you guys do maruyama's uchi mata?

[@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486]

This one has been in the plans for long time, but I don't want to rush it, I want to take my time to make it really good. For sure at some point in future I'll do it.

[@timmyxuereb3083]

@@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486 Can't wait sensei

[@iamabean]

I am a orange belt judoka and from my experience this grip is easier in randori compare to the traditional sleeve and lapel grip .

[@youssefezzat9931]

Hashimoto created a grip for sode tsuri komi goshi can you analys it

[@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486]

Sorry, right now I'm very busy with my university studies, but when I'm back I'll think what I can do.

[@herculesjiujitsu6233]

What do you mean by master's thesis? Like for college? Amazing video by the way!

[@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486]

Thanks! Yes, he wrote thesis on O Soto Gari to get his master's degree (postgraduate) in Tenri university.

[@miguelespejel2462]

So an invalid thesis since that's an osoto otoshi according to the canon of judo way before his time this technique was already defined

[@youssefezzat9931]

Hey don't you want to make a video about hashimoto grapping his opponent right sleeve

[@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486]

As of now I don't plan to do it, but It's one of the topics I would like to cover in the future.

[@Camila-cs4wp]

loving the vids. Superb work

[@davishirayanagui4508]

Other chanel?

[@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486]

Yes, I'll upload my analysis videos in this one.

[@impolitikful]

Is he literally grabbing in your armpit? Or grabbing lapel and pushing that in the armpit?

[@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486]

From what I've seen he does both. But grabbing under the arm gives tighter grip, while pushing lapel in leaves some slack, therefore opponent has more space for movements.

[@impolitikful]

Decoding Judo - Grappler Kingdom thanks! Do you have any videos on left -handed judokas?

[@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486]

Sorry for late reply, at the moment I think the best left handed/stanced judoka is Joshiro Maruyama. At some point in future I'll try to make a breakdown of his Uchi Mata. Here are some of his highlights: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6e6qGCHpsSphrM. Also I have a video of Won Hee Lee's Tai Otoshi which he usually do to his left side. Here is the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZaqiJ1nf8Z8bNE.

[@JudoHighlights2015]

Hey - Sorry for jumping in here, but I've trained with people who have trained with Ono. It's a Tenri technique, they grab the BICEP because you're able to get the defense that comes with the armpit, but also they can't just turn and break the grip which makes it possible to also do uchimata with this grip.

[@guillotina2009]

Osito otoshi

[@miguelespejel2462]

Shame on you. Clearly not an osoto gari but rather an osoto otoshi
