It's always a special camp when marcus visits, he always brings great energy and a big range of ideas with him. if you're ever in melbourne his dojo is really cool and well worth a visit.
@@regmullett4899 judo considered stalling- when you put your weight backwards, it stops the free flow of action and opportunities to throw. In BJJ the rules aren’t so strict But you will get warned if the action doesn’t keep flowing and get advantages. Subtracted that you’re not gonna get disqualified for it, but by the same token you’re not gonna get a win doing it either.
Don't hit yokomenuchi from behind your ear, that opens you up. Strike on your central line, so your hand stays covering you in front, turn it as a side cut by turning your body. Use also the other hand to contact opponents front hand.
We dropped yokem as an attack some years ago partly for that reason - NO_ONE ever strikes like that IRL, so why train it? We replaced with over hands, haymakers, crosses etc, basically variations on the angle "Yokomenuchi" supposedly teaches, and the really interesting aspect is how each strike modifies how you react and often how viable the end technique then becomes. For the purposes of a video like this I totally understand marcus keeping it "traditional" as he's basically referring to core techniques he feels "are releiable" so makes snese to keep the original shape and concept.
@@marcusencel3528 Yes, I was expanding the idea. What I think shomen and yokomenuchi are, they are also ways to enter and deflect incoming attacks, like you did in the "slipping". Yokomen uchi can also used against haymaker or hammer fist, of course train against an actual haymaker, but has the same principles. O-sensei used shomenuchi to initiate the technique. Using yokomuchi also teaches how to turn your body and using your tegatana in techniques. It's not just judo chop on temple :)
@@AIKIDOSILVERDALE certainly people wont throw yokomen unarmed but they definitely do when using weopons be it chair tire lever knife. I dont use it because other people use it. I use it because it works. I never teach defence against the haymaker because it’s a sloppy attack. and very easy to counter. If you can defend the hook, then the haymaker is easy. Yokon as an attack is excellent but like everything must be used in its place. When used incorrectly generally goes something like this. They raise their hand in range and get hit. They throw. Yokomen from in front of the opponent, instead of out the side. They attack head on with the circular attack. I think we might have done a video about this at some point
@@OsRaunio yokomen can be used against anything. But like everything it has to be executed correctly at the right time. Often you see people using footwork for direct attack while throwing an elliptical yokomen- this won’t work. Also, you see them throw it from too close. It’s worth noting, there are many kinds of ways of yokomen from almost completely straight to from the side curved. It just has to follow basic principles when it’s possible to go straight you go straight, but when there’s something in the way you go around just like with a hook or roundhouse kick. When the guard is up, you need to go around it

@@nikosskeptikos6295 thanks bro
I've watched this twice now and eneded up taking notes - that's always a sign of a good instructional video from my POV :)
@@CarlaCasteneda thank you 🙏🏻 message anytime you have a question
Lots to consider here.
the headlock hip throw, a lot!
Great session marcus!
@@dunkenFrancis thanks mate. Great channel ( obviously) great opportunity
I didnt realise backing away was illegal in judo? Or did you mean BJJ?

I think I addressed that. There are short and long yokomen. It depends on the circumstances one certainly never opens up or telegraphs attack.
