Having a collegiate wrestling background, kata guruma confused me so much when I got into judo. In the manuals drop kata guruma is identical to a fireman's carry throw, but in competition it looks completely different.

I still find myself amazed at how excellent your vids are. Much appreciated.

You are the channel I have been looking for. So much dense content. Thank you very much

So my Judo Lineage comes from Kyuzo Mifune, we even informally call our style Canon Judo after his book,, and we spend a lot of time on Kata Guruma and its characteristics, probably because Tama Guruma is considered a Kata Guruma by the Kodokan, so I totally agree with the distinction between Yoko Sutemi waza and Te waza. Supposedly, Mifune-Sensei loved to do Kata Guruma to the front, to the point where my Sensei once said Kodokan Judo finished Kata Guruma kneeling to the Side while Canon Judo finishes standing to the front, though I now get this was somewhat tongue in cheek.

Wow. Incredible footage over interesting and detailed information on the techniques within..... Great video!

This may be your best video yet. If it is Kodokan Judo, then the Kodokan is the only arbiter of what the proper name of a technique is. Kodokan made a video titled, "Kodokan Judo, various techniques and their names." Many yokosutemi waza can be done inserting your head under the opponent's armpit....yoko otoshi, uki otoshi, even tani otoshi. Their are many other techniques that are called all sorts of names by entities , such as IJF, and only Kodokan has that authority. Next please do a video on seoi otoshi vs tai otoshi and seoinage. Most Europeans and American still think that seoiotoshi is a hybrid of seoinage and taiotoshi, which it is not.

Chadi I thoroughly enjoyed your video.

Very good Chadi! 100%

My Dad taught Me The more Traditional throw. But He called it a "Fireman's Carry".

I remember learning a technique in BJJ that was kinda like kata guruma, but you use your leg to block and trip the opponents legs making it a yoko type of technique perhaps. Thank you for sharing ☺️.

Been saying this for years it's Yoko otoshi

Chadi, i thought the new Judo competitiom rules did not allow for grabbing the legs.

I just rewatched this video looking at some of the sutemi waza in old school martial arts. I have a technique in mind from Tenjin Shinyo Ryu that has a relationship to yoko otoshi...and now kata guruma. Maybe....

I agree 100%.

Someone finally has said it! There is little to no hand action that should drive kata kuruma in today’s kata gurumas

Drop Kata garuma/drop seoi nage are my favorite takedowns for bjj.

Does somebody know the backgroud music????

Gran video!!!Bendiciones!!!!

I don't really know anything about Judo, I'm just hanging around here for fun and education. The actual kata guruma shown around the 5:05 mark to me is a fireman's carry. This "modern" technique starts the same, but adds a high probability of you ending up in a rear naked choke or a north-south. 😀

The last technique is te guruma

I don't feel right calling it Yoko Otoshi in many cases due to it not resembling the "official" way the technique is done, especially in the Kodokan example shown. The way I see it is that Kata should be included if uke is closed in on tori's shoulders, so that the torso is behind tori's head. Then of course it's guruma if there's lift as you said, but otoshi if there's no lift and just pull.

Yeah I've been injured by a leg grab kinda going wrong, landed on my knee and pulled the tendon in my groin. Not the worst thing to ever happen but still was not happy about it. They should just strictly prohibit those techniques from being taught to the newbs instead of banning them outright, The risks are real sure but it's mostly inexperience.

What!!!!!

Is the real kata guruma banned in modern judo shiai???
