Power Osoto gari: Using the strong muscle groups

[@tarasbulba77]

Very good. You have tremendous muscles.... strong like bull 💪🙂

“Everyone has little muscles there, uh, not me!”

[@StudentInFrance]

I do neutral grip pullups every day! This clip is like a gift from the gods! Thank You!!!

[@dijks350]

I really like this concept, maybe this should be a new series :). There aren't much videos on which muscles are used in judo, maybe get Eugene since he is a physiotherapist

[@stefanschleps8758]

I learn something useful every time I come here. I noticed the video is suspiciously 4:20 long. Everyone say...Osoto Gari!! (Yes, that was a non-sequitur.)

[@flyhighsun1833]

Nice one Shintaro. I got interested in Judo after my friend and I were drunk grappling in his kitchen and I blasted him with an osoto gari. Though I didn't know it's name at the time, It was much more effective than I intended despite him having 40 pounds on me. I think it's really intuitive throw that people of all strengths and abilities could learn relatively easily. Keep up the videos man, you're absolutely killing it!

[@Luccimatic]

Its usually the first throw taught in any judo class to a new student for those reasons. its statistically the most effective throw.

[@flyhighsun1833]

@@Luccimatic Yeah, it's tasty. If high ABV isn't a great barrier to it's efficacy, I can see where that statistic comes from. My friend is okay btw, I caught him before he hit the ground though he swears blind I sent him with intent haha!

[@XandrogZodbolt]

The first throw a Judoka learns but it's one of the if not the most powerful throw and is the most difficult to pull off at the top level 🔥

[@pelejahosoba4032]

Not difficult for me though,I don't understand how people say it's difficult to pull off when to me it's like breathing air

[@dpeshy6719]

Interesting enough, the "power" osoto gari is how i was shown it from the start. maybe I'm an absolute newb, but all sorts of kuzushi using back deltoids are intrinsically weak, won't work on a big, 170+ lbs strong opponent. My training buddies would sometimes range between 200 and 230, 6ft high. Only power osoto! High collar grip, elbow downward pull, twisting him, like a stirring wheel. That WOULD unbalance him, not the measly back deltoid jerk!

[@SV-bo8yn]

This reminds me of Ono Shohei's osoto!

[@richardjohannesT]

You look huge in this one.

[@sakissakis7992]

Your channel has very interesting videos about techniques in Judo! Judo is one of my favourite martial sports /arts. Having said that, I'd like to ask a question about Judo breakfalls: Do they have a negative health impact due to acceleration and deceleration of human body?I mean the rattling of the brain (which can potentially lead to CTE) or retina detachment (especially in people who have great myopia). From your experience, have you heard of cases like these? Good application of Ukemi plays a big role I think but even if this is a fact, is there some brain/eye damage? I am not a doctor but I'd like your opinion about this. Of course, in other (striking) contact sports/martial arts like MMA, Muay Thai, Boxing etc, there is more frequent contact on athletes' heads and more damage vs the Judo breakfalls which do not happen so frequently.Thank you for your time.

[@juandenz2008]

That's a good question, I don't think there has been much rigorous scientific study of CTE in judo. It's only relatively recently that sports like soccer have been more closely scrutinized. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Judo like any contact sport comes with a risk of debilitating injury, but also probably an elevated risk of CTE. Sure there are Judokas who are advanced in age and don't show any signs of CTE, but that doesn't mean the risk isn't increased. How much the risk is increased is an open research question. Certainly any concussions are bad. I remember Travis Stevens had a severe concussion once and couldn't even function for an extended period.

[@sakissakis7992]

@@juandenz2008 you are right! Not to mention that chokes (in Judo or BJJ) can also lead to similar problems like CTE (because of hypoxia) or strokes (after the released choke, some "fat" of the carotid arteries is detached from them and "travels" through them to the brain to smaller arteries and blocks them). IMHO, all contact sports have their risks, depending of the techniques that are permitted. Maybe, the striking aspect of them has greater risks, maybe.Thank you!

[@mmongiello722]

The point of learning a breakfall is to diminish the negative effects of being thrown. If you tuck your neck and play on proper mats with padding underneath the repetitive 🧠 riddling should be minimal. Compared to heading a ball in soccer, judo is much safer for the brain.

[@juandenz2008]

@@mmongiello722 It hasn't been rigorously studied, that is the problem. Breakfalling properly should help, but nobody really knows for certain what the risk is. Even with a proper breakfall the head is exposed to a lot of forces when thrown, it's simple physics. If you asked people 20 years ago if soccer was associated with CTE, people would have said you were crazy. People also say if you know how to breakfall you can avoid injury in general, except there are many champion judoka that are walking catalogs of injuries, so evidentally the basic is premise is flawed.

[@BushMackel]

Just so I'm understanding, am I correct in hearing that Shintaro is saying instead of trying to throw using wrist, forearm and small delts w(hile they're farther away from you) to instead use your bigger muscles to pull them in (also lessening the power they can generate to bench press you away) and then throw them with your entire body with the glute activation being the cherry on top?

[@mmongiello722]

You forgot about moving forward and dropping the chest with the reap.

It's funny how many details there are to explain with a second long action.

[@MaxLohMusic]

No one actually does it like this. In the age of the internet where we can see osoto gari highlights on KZbin I have to ask, why is traditional textbook osoto gari posture still being taught as gospel? There are maybe like 2 examples of traditional osoto gari posture ever being used in the Olympics, and they're both done as "osoto otoshi" (planting the leg instead of sweeping). The highest-percentage osoto is using forward body posture with a support leg very far backwards (as shown by Shintaro in a different video), and probably should be called "osoto gake" but people still call it "osoto gari"

[@derekxiaoEvanescentBliss]

I'm guessing: learn the rules to break the rules - intuition with regards to kuzushi/body mechanics comes more easily with less agressive versions of skills. good for beginners. also, techniques shouldn't be evaluated on "are they used frequently at the highest level". One aspect of martial arts is, sure, trying to beat the most skilled opponent possible. but another is simply utility: how easy is it to learn? how effective is it in a self dfense situation with an aggressive but unskilled opponent?

[@MaxLohMusic]

@@derekxiaoEvanescentBliss you know I happen to completely agree with the last part. There is a huge difference between optimal strategy against a skilled fighter vs against an untrained opponent. There are moves that will reliably put down an untrained person without a hassle much quicker than you could a trained fighter but in my opinion this includes competition osoto gari and definitely excludes textbook osoto gari. I have literally never seen textbook osoto gari work even once in my life even against untrained opponents. To my knowledge there is also no video of it ever happening either Also, just a nitpick, textbook osoto gari is way more aggressive and high-impact. It pretty much requires they fall hard on their back, whereas in the hooking version, you lay them down gently, unless they resist a lot and put themselves in a "precipice situation"

[@MaxLohMusic]

Collar tie and hook a leg while your support leg is far back and body weight is forward. Watch osoto gari highlights for more details but the tldr is it should probably be called "osoto gake" but everyone just calls it osoto gari. No one ever does osoto gari with traditional posture; I don't even know why it's still being taught.

[@ibaryabaq9197]

Shintaro or anyone; what about the fact you are pulling them forward when you want to throw them backwards?

[@TRA25]

You can add a push towards the end during the reaping motion but if you’re pushing early you’re creating space that you need to kill later on which isn’t ideal. Space is time for them to counter you.

[@ibaryabaq9197]

@@TRA25 If I can translate, are you saing action/reaction? If you want them to go backwards pull first to create the reaction backwards?

[@billyofthefuture]

@@ibaryabaq9197 Since the big pull also launches _you_ forward into him, I feel like his momentum change isn't an inefficiency. A tenth of a second later you bodycheck at the chest and shoulder, and uke's momentum is returned to him. In the meantime you've gained position.

[@ibaryabaq9197]

@@billyofthefuture That makes sense. So more like closing the distance as you step forward into uke (less so pulling uke forward).

[@billyofthefuture]

@@ibaryabaq9197 yeah! I figure if he's pulled forward, it's not by too much, since it's only an upper body pull, and you're going to give back that energy anyway when you hit. I think it's more about closing the distance and being sticky.
