Tai Otoshi - The Shintaro Higashi Show

Tai Otoshi is one of those throws that many want to learn, but is deceptively difficult to master. What makes it so popular, yet so difficult to master? In this episode, Shintaro and Peter discuss Tai Otoshi: its basic mechanics, how to practice it and many more.

For me, when I feel my opponent shift his head out over his toes on his far foot, I rotate down into a drop-knee taio without even thinking about it. I have never practiced this version of the throw, it just feels right when I get that input. I can do it right or left handed, though I don't get a good rotation of uke to his back left-handed, whereas right-handed I get them right down onto their shoulders. When I'm teaching the kids classes I teach a classic version, not drop.
