In class last night we worked on a move called Seoi Otoshi. We learned this because it is pretty common with the Ipon Seonage to reach under the arm, and then not quite be able to pull off the throw. By popping the leg out to the side, and dropping to the knee it is pretty easy to turn the Ipon into a Seoi Otoshi (or just jump directly into a Seoi Otoshi without having screwed up your Ipon.)
The video below shows a Seoi Otoshi (If you don’t see the video click here to go to the original post) Although, I personally prefer to bend the knee on the leg you’re pulling them over rather than leaving it straight. If you leave the leg straight it is too easy to blow out some one’s knee.
After working on this move a bit we worked on taking it clear to the ground and working submissions from there. One of the things I really like about our Judo class is that Mike, who is also a Jiu Jitsu blackbelt, covers a lot more ground work than traditional Judo classes do. It’s sort of a combo Judo/Jiu Jitsu class.
Then into Randori… Holy cow… I haven’t pushed that hard in a long time. I’m really feeling it today. I worked with Andy, who is tough as hell, and Feel like I have been in a rodeo.
Well, that’s it for now. Seoi Othoshi. Hope you enjoyed it… It’s not just for when you screw up your Ipon
