Would you be upset if I started a RU-vid channel called inefficient judo or it's just me failing to doing all this stuff that I learned online cuz I'm a RU-vid Ninja
Yes - using the O-goshi grip for Harai-goshi is a good way for beginners to start, as it is easier for tori to control uke and find their balance using the grip around the back. Regarding its use against a taller opponents, Harai-goshi can work well, as long as you are able to get the lift with the hips, the modified grip may help this to some extent. If you struggle to get any sort of lift, you may need to use a non-lifting throw (e.g. Tai-otoshi) to throw uke.
Efficient Judo Sensei ... I asked this because i do mma and i love the hip throw but i find the classic o goshi to difficult against much heavier opponent ... Harai goshi is quick, smart and doesn't require a lot of strenght But a i listened that in judo this is a tall people technique... In a no gi situation the things changes because the harai goshi is often used from o goshi grip and often the short people use harai against tall people..... So is the grip the difference? Thank you very much for all
Harai-goshi is a good throw for tall people in Judo, because they can more easily use a high collar grip to attack the throw from there - that doesn't mean it isn't a good throw for the shorter person. Just make sure to set up your opponent for the technique, you need them moving on to you.
Efficient Judo Ok ... the problem to do o-goshi against heavier people sends me to learn harai goshi... Now l've learned a new thing ... Thanks for your lessons OSS!!!
