Sukuinage JUDO Contest Ippon throw

JUDO contest Ippon from a rare throw, once more popular this throw was modified as it used to grab legs, to a contest allowed sanitised version shown here.

Isn’t more a Kosoto gake rather? I think of sukui nage more of a leg grab whether it’s done with one or two hands... but I can be wrong for sure

[@ARKSTGT]

I agree. Sukuinage is a te waza and not allowed in Shiai currently. This throw is a KoSoteGake

[@JudoLife]

Healthy discussion is good 😊 The elbow used in lieu of the hand on the leg. It has a scoop action that gives me the sukuinage name. (Similar exactly to old style leg grab throw with exactly the same trajectory and direction)

[@seoinage3573]

It’s hard to see from that angle but I trust you 🤪 it’s just hard to call a throw sometimes but it’s definitely of great help to understand the right names and terminology in Japanese those throw names make a lot of sens and helped me learned judo and throwing mechanics

[@nizzleshot]

[@JudoLife]
