Seeing this after one year, after watching 5 world-class tournaments, and seeing countless instructional videos of various Judo styles ... I have seen this video in a new light, but the genius stroke of Won Hee Lee still amaze me :)

Taiotoshi perfected to left and right gives a huge attacking angle. A japanese instructor I knew in Japan said it takes 250,000 repetitions each side to master it and he used a wooden pole in the ground with rubber belts to practise this throw. He could really throw with Taiotoshi and it was almost unstoppable even when I retreated.

best tai otoshi in the world, best tai otoshi ever, and probably the best tai otoshi ever to be done.

That is the best tai otoshi EVER!!!!!

tai otoshi at its finest!

Hee's Won alot of fights.

You could say that he's.... Won a lot of fights.

Thank you for this video.

Interesting... He does numbers 5 and 7 grabbing the wrist, instead of the sleeve. And in number 5 it`s both hands in the arm. No lapel grip. This guy is awesome!

Lee is a stud. Tai otoshi is one the hardest throws to perfect.

me encantah!!!!!

1:08 is the best yet epic throw ever!

Legend⛩🥋

Wow, incredible technique!!!

kia~ jumo!!! shutter down!!!

brilliant throws!

나의 우상 이원희 역시 빗당겨치기!

jeezuz he's quick...number 5 probably had no idea wtf just happened. masterful

Look how wide his stance is, how solid. Impressive.

indeed.

damn he makes it look so easy....

@makikomi Seoi Otoshi means shoulder drop, which is what he did. Seoi Nage does have a lifting action, many people confuse drop seoi nage with seoi otoshi. Watch this video titled "seoi otoshi tai otoshi" for clarification.

perfect!. he grabs the whist of the oponent, gives him a lot more control, going to try that!

Perfect ukemi. Haha!

@makikomi It was a seoi otoshi, seoi nage has a lifting action.

it depends on the players. some people dont want to exhaust themselves doing groundwork, or they would rather try and go for the ippon with a throw. some people are stronger on the ground, others prefer standing work.

This guy is nasty in #7 not only does he switch stances from right to left he switches hand grips from right sleeve to left wrist in a second

#6 is a seionage.. no lift as it is a drop seionage

isn't #6 a drop ippon seoi nage??

Insane number 8 O___o Under the guard it's just impossible to make ippon like that lmao

おれもこの体落としやってるから参考になる最高

not when the throws are as high standard as this, they score an ippon.

where is 1,2 ,3

number 6 is drop ippon seoi nage

5 is taotoshi!

so easy for him to do it in competition!

6 was ippon drop seio nage

The third throw was no tai otoshi.

number 4 required some help from the hips, but awesome none the less

i would say the last one he faked uchimata then did tai

6 is seoi nage

yea i mean #6

You're lucky it's the easiest of the video :D

5 is ipon seio nage

Well, when it`s an ippon there is no point in continue with ground fighting, but I think you have a point when it is a yuko or a wazari. Many referees give no time for ne-waza. That sucks. Even though I like ne-waza I`m totally against victory by pin. I think it should score points, but never end a fight.

first technique is seoi otoshi not thai

rhe UKR almost killed you

is number 6 an actual tai otoshi?
