Thank you, friend! What do you feel like is the best/worst aspect of what you’ve seen? Would really appreciate your feedback

You need kumi kata advice in order to block drop seoi. If you dominate in kumi-kata you will counter any technique, not only drop seoi. If the judoka outclasses you, there is little you can do to defend against the throw, but if you focus on stayin with your right foot forward (or left depending on the direction of your throws) and blocking their shoulder (left or right depending on the direction they throw to) you will decrease their chances of throwing you. However, in doing so you need to develop techniques where you can throw from these grips. Otherwise you will not succeed. The best advice is play for osoto gari, get a dominant grip and throw. Use your longer limbs. Do uchimata as well, ashi barai, any ashi waza actually. This is your strength.

@@justjudo7601 Thank you! I’ll try and hone my uchimata then. I especially have trouble against short, stocky opponents. Even if I grab them first, it seems easy for them to just pull me as soon as I push. I’ll see if I can figure out and hope your uchimata tips pose a good deterrent!

@@agaplinio do not push them, if you push you fall victim to seoi nage seoi otoshi or any throw in that direction. Remember, never push! If you move sideways or move backwards, they will have hard time throwing you forward. That’s just a fact. For uchi mata to work, ever do it statically, always try to move them left right or backwards or diagonally, but never forwards. Try it out and let me know. You should instantly feel they have less opportunities to throw you for seoi otoshi once you stop pushing (not as easy to pull off as you may think though, so give it time, but stay mindful of this. If you feel that you push, just stop. You feel that they pull you, stop as well and change the direction, do not follow their pace.)

@@justjudo7601 Thanks a lot. I usually tried to bait them and then use Tani Otoshi, Yoko (by moving around and under) guruma, or tai Otoshi (around them), but if I lose to drop Seoinage it’s usually right at the start of the match and that’s annoying! I’ll try moving in other directions but forward against short and stocky, and let you know next time. Can’t wait to try it out!

@@agaplinio do not charge on them, wait for them to come. Do not overxtend your arm when you grab on top, if you grab too deep, you are half way over their back for seoi. Grab with you arm behind the neck and place your armpit over the collar bone if you post there (especially against lower opponents). If you go too deep and grab the middleof the back you disbalance your self. Stay calm, wait it out, post, dont push, move in other directions
