Uki-Otoshi Tips | Riki Judo Dojo

[@sk8iny0]

I use this in BJJ all the time. People have a very bent-over stance to defend leg grabs, so if I pretend I'm going for a foot sweep, they'll push into me, and I can always get a good kuzushi. rarely results in an ippon but as you said, it's a great way to dump someone on the ground and attack from there.

Love it!

In randori uki otoshi is very hard to do, but as self defence technique, agains a charging opponent it's one of the most usefull throws. We must not forget self defence aspect of judo. Great judo channel you have here!

Thank you so much! My goal is to make a video for every technique Riki sensei wants to see demonstrated in his shodan test. We're getting closer every month...

What a perfect choice for the first video lesson of 2023. I've always seen this technique as ideal for self-defense purposes against an aggressive opponent moving towards you. Since it uses the attacker's own forward momentum against him it does not require positioning any part of one's own body to act as a fulcrum. In addition throughout the technique you are still mostly facing your opponent---safer than turning your back on him as in Ogoshi or Seoinage. Thanks to this video I now know the critical elements needed to execute this waza successfully. Thank you for a terrific start to my Judo studies for the year! 🥋🙏

Thanks Jun! The video guy has been slacking (cough cough) but is newly motivated to churn out videos. We've got some great stuff lined up, and filmed even more great content during tonight's class.

To me, this waza feels like Tai-otoshi with out extending the leg. I'm very passive and most of the time I rarely initiate attacks first in randori. I find uki otoshi to be very fitting for my personality.

Awesome!
