O SOTO GARI O SOTO GAKE

[@liukang85]

Any coach telling their student to adapt techniques/make them their own gets a plus in my book

VERY USEFUL distinction between Osotogari and Osotogake, and I like the gripping and positioning strategy used here to achieve kuzushi and tsukuri. I've taught my students that unbalancing doesn't always involve pulling up and back (the traditional method); I've taught the same method you use here--although my explanation was not nearly as good as yours. Guess what? Once when a couple of my students visited and trained at another dojo, the sensei there scolded them for improper kuzushi. SIGH. Love this clip. Oh, and I do believe this is the first time I've seen you wearing a red-and-white belt, sir. LOOKS GREAT ON YOU!!!

[@welcomematstevescott]

Glad you like the video and find it useful! Thanks for your kind words Jun. I rarely wear my red and belt and when Derrick and I did a series of clinics for James Wall in Denham Springs, Louisiana, he asked that I wear my red and white belt. So, for him I did. Again, thanks for your comment!

Hi Sir. I was always taught pulling back and up to break the balance but i can never do it in randori. Haha.i guess the method of sucking in opponent works well for me.

It' s like an O Soto Makekomi variantion, right??

[@boyang9764]

I don't think so. O soto makikomi is kind of using your momentum of rotation and your body drop to throw. That's why it is a side-sacrifice technique. This video taught me the nice right hand grasp to control the left shoulder and bring in the distance.
