I love the attitude and the way this video was done. Subscribed. “Can’t grab the pants anymore…but who cares”. Amen

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks Zachariah, we really appreciate it! Lots more videos where this came from...

Thanks for another great video! Insightful.

Thanks Konstantin, we really appreciate it. Yoko-otoshi, morote-seoi-nage and ashi-guruma are up next!

[@junheceta268]

Such an amazing video. I had no idea until I saw this video how many combat-effective variations there are of Uki-otoshi. Uki-otoshi may not be a particularly popular competition throw, but it is definitely a fighting throw for when more than medals are at stake. Thank you for sharing this. 🥋🙏 Oh, and Riki-sensei knows how to bust a move---he does the twist as well as the legendary Chubby Checker. 😀👍

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks a bunch Jun! For someone who claims to hate 'The Twist' so much, Riki sensei busts that move just about every class LOL!
