The Takedown Blueprint - Tai otoshi by Travis Stevens

[@Spaceghost4201]

I just noticed that he specifically says to put your backstep foot at the top of the triangle but then whenever he does the throw it is over to the side like what he says is the traditional foot placement.

[@MrDmata3]

I was taught never to leave your foot flat, always heal pointing up to prevent injury

[@ryanwilliams9984]

Idk. I broke my toe when doing this with an elevated foot

[@dgasmd1]

Love the simplicity of the instructional videos. I use them constantly to improve myself in classes

[@flashtheoriginal]

Thats a beautiful style. Exploiting kuzishi and preparing the impact into a sudden death dimension. Respect Tai Otoshi is a common throw, learned very early in the gokyo, but it has a very technical remit. In shiai, gradings, randori, uchi komi and even kata, it is often executed loosely, as it is notoriously difficult to master. This variant has shades of soto makikomi about it. I think this is a superb demonstration. Im now retired from club/regional level, but would recommend this highly as an excellent lesson

[@BeyondGrappling]

Thanks a lot

[@throwaway7690]

This is an excellent channel for the huge, clear video uploads. I can watch on my flat screen and follow!

[@BJJJUDO]

Very nice explanation, short sweet and to the point. I especially like the "common errors" piece. Thanks for posting it.

[@tarasbulba77]

Two absolutely great Judokas, awesome 👍

[@3YangBros]

Always good tech from Sensei Travis

[@Daichi14]

He instructs you to place your foot at the top of the triangle but he never does so when he's actually executing.

[@israelcanada8969]

Beautiful tai otoshi

[@boyo1991]

The way I learned tai otoshi was to have my dropped foot way further out. I like this part most of this variation that its done very close to uke.

[@helgesenh]

very nice technique, good instruction, thank you.

[@waterhead001]

Is this a throw that is taught to beginners?

[@a053303]

I've been looking at that white Fuji Seki gi on Amazon. Is it any good?

[@phil828282]

Very nice explanation, but it seems like your knee might be in danger with this version. I was taught to turn the right leg such that the knee points into the mat, so if the throw does not fully succeed Uke can't fall on it and bend it sideways. What do you think?

[@allanperron8934]

I think that Travis Stevens is a 6th dan black belt ,3 times olympian (silver medal in 2016) so it's probably the right way to do it 😅

[@MrKahunadog]

yup...he was the OG

[@bekabel310]

A perfect Tai Otoshi

[@BeyondGrappling]

yeah it could be,

[@erikrass]

also known as the Swain Tai Otoshi!! Mike Swain has been doing it forever.

[@JoachimderZweite]

When I was a boy in Japan brown belts did not instruct. Where is Kayla?

[@1ive2win]

He is wearing his jiu jitsu brown belt (he is a black belt now under Henzo Gracie I believe). Travis is certainly a judo black belt having won a silver medal in the 2016 Olympic games.

[@kennedy61990210]

You could say so. Its taught to yellow belts (second from last)

[@Motivatedmailman]

Love this!

[@xy6830]

your videos are awesome but also Mo would be just great

[@risc7]

useful and beautiful! thanks!

[@jaimeezquerra2219]

Watch Neil Adams for excellente technique breakdown

[@MFTusay]

Travis is wearing a brown belt?

[@redx1170]

Yes, this was the fourth throw I learned. Not easy at first but very beautiful when you know how to do it. I'm just an orange belt

[@tzeolotltenamaxtli]

In Mexico is a go kyu technique or orange belt, it can be a little difficult to those people with short legs but in general it culd be called a begginers technique.

[@adamcvesely47]

You didn't take point on triangle when you showed your - moving - movement! 1:09 Also this movement (imo) must be done/complete quickly/smoothly, otherwise I slip/pass/maybe fold you @ your L in this case. Nice movement though. I apologize coming as instructor-type, I am not....

[@AiKenJuDo]

Good ukemi!

[@firebraingames]

I liked the video, but tori's ukemi just burns my eyes!

[@tdBank13]

I think that's US Olympian and Olympic judo coach Jimm pedro

[@MeleDrummer]

What's wrong with the ukemi?

[@firebraingames]

I enjoy watching this ukemi watch?v=TVEkSQ2CbHw

[@MeleDrummer]

Creagines very cool, thanks for the link!

[@profd65]

@Creagines Fucking moron.

[@kigawman]

Jimmy Pedro's name is now "My Partner" - lol ;-P

[@MrBluemanworld]

This is not a high dan tai otoshi.

[@edwhlam]

Tori is Olympic silver medalist Travis Stevens. Uke is US Olympic coach Jimmy Pedro.

[@VahaVisaev]

Класс!

[@cortx2lh]

I turn my knee to the ground so i don't break it if i can't throw the guy perfectly.

[@nicocontreras5366]

+Davi Stanesco Yeah that´s good

[@timo235711]

+Davi Stanesco I didn't, and have had two ACL reconstructions on the knee after that. Practically ending my competition carreer.

[@nicocontreras5366]

+Timo Sivula Wow that is why I stop doing Tai Otoshi but now I am relearning it with that detail always in mind.

[@cortx2lh]

FishBunny McFish put the weight on your toe so your knee can flex and you wont hurt yourself. Matt and sampson judo made great videos breaking down tai otoshi's details.

[@mirzad19882]

Davi Stanesco thanks dude

[@ForseMaster]

nevermind, didn't notice the leg

[@BawlingOuttaControl]

god mode tai-o

[@BeyondGrappling]

Yep it is

[@harleycamp041197]

He is a bjj brown belt so might have been doing jiu jitsu before the video

[@killersalmon4359]

My guess is that he just forgot to pack his Judo blackbelt, or maybe he grabbed his BJJ gear by accident going out the door.

[@skatetilldeath12342]

thats how we do soei otoshi in israel

[@assamriflejudocoach2090]

sanatomba ar judo coach

[@VarshilChangani]

I think the black betl guy should have made the moves not the brown one... But it war afterall nice learning exp.

[@alexmarroquin2011]

They are both Olympic medalists so its fine either way

[@thomass.4007]

the "brown one" is olympic silver medallist and in judo he has a black belt. This is probably his BJJ belt

[@killer3000ad]

Travis is a judo BB. He's also a BB in bjj as well. This video was likely made while he was still at brown in bjj.

[@profd65]

Lol, you're a stupid fuck.

[@lkj098lkj]

Omg he is so young and skinny lol.

[@BeyondGrappling]

+* Han lol

[@ForseMaster]

This is...a seoi nage without grabbing the lapel.

[@sircatricex273]

Yeah thats great and all, but he is a brown belt and has a still a lot to learn, he shouldn’t teach before he masters it himself.

[@DubiousDom]

A brown belt in BJJ. An Olympic silver medalist in Judo. I'd say he has enough credentials to teach a throw or two lol.

[@MrUFClaw]

Weak.....
