I hope the commentators rewatch this match and realize what incredible talent these competitors are. The fact they were attempting to upstage the match with their BS is evidence they are in the wrong business.
Way to keep it on your feet ladies. Best match I've seen for IBJJF 2019. It's much more enjoyable to watch than the guard pullers, who just sit down and but scoot everywhere hoping to Del Riva to Berimbolo or sweep for two. The match had a bit of everything. Really Enjoyable to watch! Kudos!
Terrible commentary, firstly Ffion is from Wales and the throw she performed was a Tai Otoshi not an Osoto Gari, clearly still feeling the effects of his room mates candy
Pahaha thankyou! I'm glad I wasn't the only one exhausted by this commentary. Although the throw is debatable. She didn't plant her foot and she drives forward, which to me is much closer to osoto gari.
@@rhidiandavies1991 if you look at 04:00 on the video timer she does plant her foot, she then reaps which is an excellent adaptation to a tai otoshi that I’ve never seen before but will definitely be trying out in randori
@@dietrich8820 the reaping is something I’ve never seen before in terms of a tao otoshi but is an excellent adaptation that I’ll certainly be trying out but this throw is still most definitely a tap otoshi. Her footwork may have slightly differed but look at her whole body? Almost fully rotated and back to back to the opponent where as in osotogari the positioning of the attacking judoka to uke is almost side on like a t up position. The grips used are also indicative of a tai otoshi, osotogari grips would force the lapel more upwards and the direction of the throw would be more towards Ukes back. The directions of this throw is towards Ffion’s side, again indicative traits of a tai otoshi. If you look at 4 minutes into the video and press pause the whole position of Ffion’s body in relation uke is indicative of Tau otoshi. The footwork is unbelievably creative and very effective but this is very clearly a Tao otoshi variation.
@@johnrking1987 not necessarily. There was clearly a outside reaping and hooking of her oppositions right leg. It doesn’t really matter the entry position. There have been many international competitors from Europe that far entry and drive. You don’t drive for a tai otoshi and the foot must be planted. And when the tori was falling with uke her hooking leg was raised up as if in osoto gari. My dojo also practices this variation. Tai Otoshi means body drop and her body was not dropping in the manner that we would consider this Tai Otoshi. Her foot barely touches the ground.
Not an o-soto gari. Her back was to her and instead of Karen falling straight back, she rotate around the foot onto her back...ie....ashi guruma....foot wheel.
She would have fallen differently than shown here if it were ashi guruma. She would have fallen the same direction that one would if put in harai goshi.
BJJ is not only to go ground as you can, fighting on feet like Judoka does its part of the game, beside as you can see here, you throw someone only when you see you can get and advantage, else you try to stay up.
