it's hard to describe
basically I get my arm behind their head (or under their arm they said either way was ok, under the arm I think is an easier grip for me)
I step around so that my feet are pretty close together and my back is to them (already I am nervous...) then I shove my hips/ass into their stomach and lean forward
I dont complete the throw because we dont' have mats
what sucks is I can't even tell when I do it right vs when I do it wrong
the instructor will see it and be like great
then the next time that sucked
and I'll have thought they looked exactly the same
take a look at some of those if you have the times
the key to a throw.. as we teach in judo .. is to always offbalance your opponent.. if not you are just walking into something
get low.. your belt under his is generally a good idea.. or your hips under his hips if no belt..
no space allowed.. keep your bodies tight
when you step in on your first step.. stay on the balls of your feet and keep your foot facing directly forward until you pick up your back foot.. then pivot and 'corkscrew' down to get low
once you start the pulling or off balancing do not stop.. get them moving and keep them moving..
make sure your hip is out enough so you can rotate them over it..
snap your legs to throw..
rotate your right shoulder towards your left knee..
you might have heard that before.. you might not have anyway i hope some of it helps..
I"m glad you are a fan of my thread : o )
we use hips as the general guide
we have a belt system but we don't wear belts
I'm going to work throws, but I think regular takedowns or slams would work better for me then a throw
what's kind of odd is I have a tendency to try for a smooth finesse takedown
and I'm like 265 lbs...
my instuctor often questions his sanity I imagine
I am an oddity in all things combative...
training tomarrow
looking forward to it
oh and today (Monday) I lifted weight again
been awhile there
and worked the bag and some footwork
it was quite similar to the Koshi Guruma
I think that was basically it
on the few occations I got it right the instructor would laugh and say I'd kill somebody if I did it for real
(which from him is a good thing, it's kinda like a compliment)
ok so today we did all Clinch work
except for one of us he had practice some lead roundkicks
we did Clinch Clinch Clinch
we worked on knees
pulling them backward and then rocketing a knee into them
and pulling them back spinning as if to throw them and then the knee
I think if I get to where I could spin them to the side I'd rather throw and mount then knee but I can't say for sure
he saw me throw some knees and said I'll be killing people in the Clinch
the guy I was kneeing agreed
I like the sound of this...
I had some trouble clearing the other guys arm on one varient
but pushing around their head I'm pretty solid on
I had an idea or two that the instructor actually taught us so I think I'm going to be good at this someday
and then I lifted some weight to
he said my striking was crap in the Clinch
and I said sorry
and he goes I havn't taught you striking in the Clinch yet
he wanted me to learn to get possition first
I don't know if I can get possition that proficciently but hopefully I'll improve
it also was a lot like Otsu somthing or other
O something
same throw but basically grip around waist instead of head
I think I am better at that one
leverage or whatever
also as a side note my instructor is going to have me watch his daughter for him on Fridays while he is at work
that kicks ass
the trust he puts in me means a lot to me
and, I can have her watch my technique as I work the bag....
thats awesome.. any chance of you posting up some vids..
im gonna work on that now that i have some time.. i have footage of myself from a few diff. tourneys that i might post up..
i might also start posting some simple self defense moves or judo throws/chokes for people to review
great thread!!! keep it up
yeah koshi guruma and o goshi are the 2 most basic hip throws out there so i was hoping that looking at them would help out a bit.
i would def like to practice more work in a clinch. normally in judo if i get real close and its almost like a clinch i am very very effective and normally perform some type of suplex or leg pick and get a big score..
thats really cool you have a good relationship with your instructor..
yah actually I was friends with another student of his for almost a decade I'd say and he invited him over one day and we got along
then one day he brought his daughter over and she seemed to like us so he brought her around more often
and I'm HIGHLY protective of people in general but especially a little girl so when we were in public he saw how I looked after her and I guess he just decided he trusted me
I may get to put some videos up but I am not sure
the instructor wants to record our sparring sessions in general anyway
and I have been wanting to rub my hammer curl in the face of some people at another forum that called me a liar...
I'm looking forward to training tomarrow
keep it up.. ill try to get some vids going asap..call me out on it if i start slacking..
we went over a really cool choke last nite that is pretty easy to set up when someone tries to pass your 'gaurd' by throwing one leg over and coming in for a side body..
it is also easy to set up if you are trying a scissor type sweep from teh guard
also leads into an easy armbar if you get the guy flattened out.
