Another great teaching moment on the distinction between reaping and hooking

[@RikiDojoUSA]

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thank you!

[@sevasentinel4146]

Never knew of this one; nice.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Yeah this was from a 'gake night' class...Riki sensei showed us o-soto-gake, ko-soto-gake, o-uchi-gake, ko-uchi-gake, and even kawazu-gake that night!

This is an amazing addition to my OSOTO arsenal. I must confess that I am not familiar with this waza. I don't think it's widely taught? It definitely solves some real problems I experience in randori against opponents who stiff-arm me or evade my Osotogari and Osoto-otoshi by managing to lift their leg out of harm's way. So the correct point of contact is the back of the heel against the back of the knee, yes? Domo arigato for this new nugget of purest gold! 🥋🙏

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks so much Jun! Correct, right on the back of the knee, but overshooting and making contact with your Achilles tendon or calf is cool too. I don't think this is taught that much either. During those same two classes he also showed us o-uchi-gake and ko-uchi-gake...we'll see if I can make videos out of those too. Uki-goshi is being edited and should be ready this weekend!

[@junheceta268]

​@@RikiDojoUSA Wonderful! Very much kooking forward to seeing those videos. 🥋🙏

[@nicocontreras5366]

I thought the same being osoto gari my tokui waza.

[@JIUJITSUMAN22]

@@RikiDojoUSA yes, please make videos of uchi and ko uchi gake.

You do not learn the throws by doing the throws that’s just beginner level, you break the throw down in to its parts, and drill them individually, kumi Kata, (gripping Patern) Kazushi, (Breaking Balance) Tusuri, (Fitting in, entry) Gake, controlling the throw to the ground and Ne Waze transition. Then you reconstruct the throw. Finally you master the throw from different angles of entry and gripping patterns. If patterns are programmed properly through thousands of repetitions eventually you can achieve Mushin, where throws become automated reflex’s like blinking.
