O-Soto-Otoshi Tips | Riki Judo Dojo

Riki sensei explained o-soto-otoshi (大外落 - large outer drop) during judo class on 8-2-2021. We lost the lavalier microphone's audio and the best camera angle when the center GoPro overheated, so I hardcoded subtitles (and installed cooling fans).

The purpose of this TH-cam channel is to pass on the original, traditional, authentic Kodokan Judo that Riki sensei loves so much. Riki sensei's students maintain this TH-cam channel (and are responsible for any errors), but you can find more of his thoughts at the Riki Judo Dojo Facebook page: / riki-judo-dojo-usa-194... 12

This video was definitely worth the wait. My students absolutely agree with Sensei's description of Osoto-otoshi causing them to hit their heads and see stars, even if they are well versed in ukemi, from the sheer power of the technque.
I am particularly inspired by Sensei's admonition "waza over strength" and that the riki or chikara he advocates is the chikara of the mind and the spirit: waza Judo, not brute force Judo. Domo arigato gozaimasu !
