Great drill from now on Im doing cartwheels.

This was great, I've been looking for "judo throws and takedowns" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Keyandon Judo Process - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate got great results with it.

Hey, I’m new to your channel and have enjoyed the content so far. I have a video suggestion regarding defense.
Apart from giving yourself to momentum and performing an acrobatic manuvere.
Often time I notice in international competition the value of firstly correct standing posture, relating to the straight back, head and legs. In readying ones self for attacks.
Secondly the prempted, sprawl, circular sprint, the spreading of your legs to prevent rotation, once opponents have already achieved their attacking. Eg. the immediate ideal defensive reaction to a drop seoi nage. Such as immediately shooting your right leg forward.
Thirdly the role, of offense which creates passivity and hesitancy in the mind of an opponent. This approach would value, the building of expectation through particular/secondary attacks for duration of the fight. Footsweeps etc.
Do you have further considerations relating to what I have mentioned?
Defensive strategies and guidelines I feel are sometimes

I'm also a judo player thanks for video

No problem! 👍

I think my question arises from what one will often see in high level competition. Take any fighter who dominates with a particular technique. Drop seoi otoshi is probably a great example. And dominates throughout the amateur ranks with this technique and scores ippon every fight. However as soon as he is paired with one who knows the preempted maneuveres to a drop seoi nage. His technique is immediately negated.
At a higher level, this is still true. An Changrim struggles with fighters who are accustomed to correctly defending drop seoi otoshis. His fights with Japanese fighters usually go long into golden score. Because his techniques are ineffective against effect, developed, and particular defensive techniques.

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your comment and question. My thoughts:
These escapes are a last resort.
My preference would always be to use gripping patterns, posture, stance and movement to not allow the partner to attack in the first place.
Having to use escapes such as these are the last possible thing you can do to avoid the Ippon score.
It is worth noting that this tutorial is just a starting block and would develop to escapes where you do not put your hands down at all, spinning in the air.
I would also point out that these escapes are common in light weight Judo (not heavy weight Judo), but are still a valuable skill to learn regardless of weight category.

Hi Vince,
Thanks for your reply, I enjoy and appreciate your input and perspective, keep posting good content.
I watch and analyze international judo quite regularly. Analyzing helps me better appreciate smaller movements which play big roles in winning or losing a fight.
I think a gap which can be filled in ‘western’ youTube judo content, is informed judo right analysis, of recent competitions. Which take into considerations of an athletes style, and his/her adaptations of style.
Grappler Kingdom, did something in the right direction of what I’m talking about on Ono recently.
It’s niche where judo is not as popular. But if you translated your subtitles to eg friench. You’d draw a big crowd

Thanks for your comment, I am intending on doing something along competition analyses (once I get to 'grips' with the software needed).
I am unable to speak or write French so that would be a tricky one.
Thanks for watching.

What of for osoto gari,ouchi gari and the likes,from Nigeria, do you spin also

[@thejudocoach]

I would always recommend letting go and rotating to your tummy landing in a forward break fall (Mae Ukemi), I have seen some people try a back summersault out of O Soto Gari (which I would not recommend, for any beginner).

I hate to be that guy... but... I have grappled competitively for over a decade. I LOVE cartwheels, as seen here th-cam.com/video/4UOqVl0Cjs8/w-d-xo.html . I do not see a cartwheel working to escape a well executed, explosive, and well time seoi nage. If they get a great grip on the arm when performing a seoi nage, especially the drop version, I see great potential for injury, weather that be an injured shoulder or concussion. I am a heavyweight and not flexible, so those are obvious factors increasing my chance of getting hurt trying that, but regardless, it does not seem safe. Do you have any suggestions or corrections to mitigate my concerns?
