As a judo lefty, in kenka yotsu I tend to attack their lead leg with a kosoto which never goes anywhere. The detail you mention about weighting their right lead leg with my hands is brilliant and I'm definitely going to be looking out for that at next training. The end osoto gari looks a little like a harai but I guess it's because it all depends on the depth of the step the uke takes to avoid the initial kosoto attack. Brilliant stuff, please keep creating these videos - they create great conversation amongst my team mates and I!

Yeah, when i was editing the video I thought there were a couple of suspicious looking Osoto Gari's in there, as a cope out on my part, I subscribe to the "stick your leg across and hope for the best principle" so as long as you throw, it doesn't really matter what the technique is for competition. Amazing, that's great to hear...will do!!

great instruction masters show regular series techniques on IZAAK 🥋🥋 sankaku jime (every sankaku), inverted triangle, bow and arrow choke, back GI chokes, ezekiel choke, arm locks please thank you have fun! 💪💪🔥🔥

Very smooth combo. I'd have liekd to have seen it also in a same side situation, but I imagine you'd Kosoto with one leg and then finish Osoto with the other leg.

When I am fighting same side, I tend to use Kouchi Gari more, to throw or just move the leading leg out of the way...but yeah, what you describe could work!

Hi! I just found your channel and I appreciate your videos tremendously. I used to go to Judo when i was little, and now in my 30s i found a dojo that I like and I want to start again. Back in college though, I dislocated my right shoulder and since then i had it pop out a couple of times over the years. I can manage to pop it back by myself, and right now I am doing shoulder strengthening exercises to prepare for Judo classes. My arm is strong and don’t have any pain moving it, and mobility seems 98% even bending it backwards, but I am worried it will pop out during Randori. Do you have any tips on how to protect myself as much as possible? Should I switch to a left leading style? Cheers

Thank you. That sounds like quite a bad injury. I'm glad to hear that you're recovered enough to consider going back to Judo training. I've torn ligaments in both shoulders, but thankfully never dislocated them, so I wouldn't like to say this is exactly what you should do, but what worked for me has been a lot of shoulder exercises and maintaining those exercises in every workout to keep/build strength and mobility. You could switch to a left style, and it could help open up your Judo skill level, but I never altered my style. Take your time getting your body familiar with the sport again before rushing back into Randori. It's quite common that you'll protect your shoulder and potentially risk injuring somewhere else in the process. I hope you return to Judo goes well and you have fun training again.
