O Soto Gari is one of the first throws you are thought in Judo. It's a traditional throw that equally effective and eye pleasing. Some of the best judokas in the history used and still use this technique to win medals. O Soto Gari can be used with gi as well as no gi. This video highlights some key moments in execution of this technique and show some examples of positive and negative aspects of this throw.

What I love about osoto gari, aside from how good it looks, is that its biggest weakness is that it's easily countered by itself. Meaning that so long as you understand it better than your opponent, their fighting an up-hill battle to counter you with a throw you know better than they do. So when people know you're good with it, they'll go out of their way to avoid it, which can open up lots of other attacking options (not that I can personally take advantage of them very often).

That was excellent. Very clearly illustrated, and very well explained. Many thanks.

The thing which is strange about Osotogari is that japanese often teach that you should point your toes for Osotogari.but legendary judoka like kimura and Ono use the heel. If somebody wants to see a osoto that strongly resembles Kimuras Osoto. Search Nakamura Osoto. He was canadias coach and learned from Kimura masahiko.

Toes down your entire leg swings smoothly with body weight behind it. Toes up and you tend to hack with the lower leg, no body behind it which is how every white belt does it. Ono absolutely does his osoto toes down, but I don't know about Kimura (who, being Kimura, can do it any way he likes).

@@maofas if you do it toes down you need to adjust the sweep. Kimura did his Osoto this way out of a reason. It changes the trejectory of the throw and is a legitimate way of throwing. Okada(the inventer of kouchigake) also says toes up und down are legitimate. In judo there are countless way of doing something right. If you know how.

Wow! So right! I look at it and think, "how can it be anything else but uchimata?" Thinking about the legs and wonder, "whose leg is between whose legs when it started as osoto gari, and nobody changed leg positions?"

I know you said you’d do a vid on Maruyama’s uchimata, but would you consider doing one on kouchigari afterward?

Yes, I would definitely consider that, but that will take a long time, as I have to finish my studies before I can continue with content on this channel.

Nearly everybody teaches the "classical version". Almost nobody admits what seems to be the truth: that the classical version works great against a non-grappler and helps you build skills to finish the throw, but the entry is hopelessly inefficient against a resisting grappler who is keeping you away and is ready to pull their leg back at the first hint of you stepping forward with the support leg. Maybe at the beginning Judo was played with loose arms and no grip-fighting, and the classical entry was more feasible. And today teachers are reluctant to admit that the sport/art has evolved, more efficient variations were found, and some classical techniques need to be adapted or replaced. Plus, the classical is prettier and simpler than this messy but practical hooking and hopping. So, everybody starts with the classical and most often doesn't even tell you about the huge difference in results when you switch to hooking and hopping. But once you learn that, why use any other entry? Those MMA fighters in the examples in this video could have probably done the classical as well against their opponents who were probably less skilled and also too busy worrying about the striking to fully resist the osoto entry. But all of them pretty much hooked the leg (even Ronda, I think), because that is what they have been training for competitions and succeeding with it before coming to MMA. And then, the most radical and controversial thought: why not just start learning with these new variations directly and not even bother with the classical?

@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, the same can be said about some other throws like Uchi Mata. I think there are a lot of purists who believe that in order to move to variations you have to get good at basic form first. I think a lot of times this is the right approach, but there are moves where this approach doesn't make sense. I also think that a lot of basic forms we see or get thought these days are thought in unrealistic/non-practical manner, but people just roll with it because it was done by some high rank teacher. At least that's my two cents, that is a hard question, so I don't really know true definitive answer to that.

Thank you, been trying to say the same thing for years; for some reason 99% of KZfaq instructionals are teaching "classical" which just gets you countered, yet 100% of competitive footage is non-classical. It's why I started trusting competition footage way more than instructional. Science being more reliable than experts and all that

@@decodingjudo-grapplerkingd5486 Or, kouchi gari. I was thought to time it - step forward left and drag the attacking leg behind, then step back and clip. Never hit that. I would get some lame kouchi-s with my back to my opponent as a counter to a throw, where the referee cannot even tell who is throwing who. Then I watched a video where they explained how to back-step behind (just like osoto and ouchi) and then go diagonally forward to block or reap the leg across from that angle (almost as if kenka yotsu). Worked like a charm.

@maofas Жыл бұрын

Osoto player disagreeing. If you just tell people to hook the leg and hop you will likely never learn good entry footwork, get the leg/upper body lever connection (osoto is not just tripping them with your leg), or learn to position yourself correctly before entering which IMO is the most important part of osoto. IMO many of these versions seen the video *are* essentially classical osoto, just with a little hook to finish. To me that is no different than many seois that stutter for a split second on the opponent's resistance right before they go flying. Often you have to be scrappy to finish a throw, but I don't consider that the same as Yamashita's version which is truly a hop-in. I use both. When people say things like "any trained opponent will keep you back or pulls their leg away", I question whether they have any set up at all for this throw or are just lobbing osoto haymakers at their opponent. Osoto is a big throw, so you should usually set it up with a smaller technique first. Ashi barai to osoto, ouchi to osoto, fake sasae to osoto are all classics. You can also start osoto to provoke a predictable reaction (them bracing forwards or pulling their leg back) and be ready to punish that reaction with a follow-up.
