Is Idalys Ortiz by far the more boring judo player to watch?
Welcome to the +78 weight class.. where you see huge people just walk forward in the hope of their uke's gaining a shido.. at least in the male's heavyweight, there are some smaller guys who can out-technique and throw the bigger uke's (eg, Tushishvili). But apart from that, most of the heavyweight division is dreadful to watch.Is Idalys Ortiz by far the more boring judo player to watch?
That is motion for Osoto Gari I have been taught at places I have been to.
Damn, I was trying to be diplomatic...you're being taught wrong.
I'm really stoked for the Day 2 highlights. I caught about an hour of the elimination round last night and it was phenomenal. I was gonna post the final but ippon.tv isn't making it available here in freedomland.
there was a great conversation between Neil Adams and the gal he was commentating with. They touched on leg grabs (she missed them but also conceded that it made folks get more clever with their counters) and were really, really stoked about how much more ground time there was.
Neil also specifically mentioned how rapidly BJJ was helping newaza evolve, and how a lot of folks are now cross-training and bringing that knowledge back into Judo. It was at least 50/50 last night for throwing/groundwork, and so many people were attacking folks who got defensive on the ground.
We've spent the last 2-3 weeks solely on attacking and retaining back control, and I was kinda worried that some of the old guard would be a bit 'meh' about it and want to see more turnovers, but there have been so many bow-and-arrows and armbars over the last two days that I almost feel vindicated
I'm not surprised. Think about it though, why lift uke if you want to throw him down ?
I was told that is best to get uke to try and put his weight on that foot on his own, then reap that leg as it coming down. So you lift, pull him in that direction, Uke will need to put that foot down.
That makes more sense, you are setting up an action-reaction sequence, to get uke weight on the foot/leg.I was told that is best to get uke to try and put his weight on that foot on his own, then reap that leg as it coming down.

didnt mean to be a dickbag.
in my experience, a shorter person pulls their osotogari down, a taller person lifts theirs up, and if youre the same size its either or. idea being you're forcing most of their weight to that side and attacking the chest.
