How to Throw a Crouching, Bent Over Opponent 

Thank you so much for having me over Stephan! It was such an honour!!

Awesome to see such a knowledgeable female judoka and jiu jitsu practitioner!

What a nice lady! Do more judo videos with her.

I love videos that mix judo and bjj, i practice both and they work great together, nowadays i think it's the most truthful way to practice old school pre Olympic "Kano JuJutsu"

I hit this throw tonight in class and was pretty impressed with myself as was my partner!!! I'm fat, old, slow and not very agile. I literally googled Judo throws for fat slow people and this is what came up. Thankyou for a great tutorial!

This is me getting thrown around by a judo female black belt when I first started judo. Then she proceeded to scarf hold and side control. That was my very first randori and intro to actual grappling. 12 years later and I'll never ever forget that moment.

Just a very small "correction" for the judo guys here: When you reach over to grab the belt, it´s not sumi gaeshi but hikikomi gaeshi,.Sumi gaeshi does NOT involve reaching over your opponent's back to grab the belt. Anyway, very nice video and good explanation, thank you!

Very effective against single leg

Thanks to both of you.

Excellent details and explanation of the differences between applying this throw in BJJ and Judo scenarios.

00:00 Damn, treated him like a ragdoll 😂

I usually just say 'thanks for the neck' and go to choke city, but now i have more spots to visit in the town of nage waza. Thank you both!

Kathy's great and this is an excellent technique. One of the only throws I reliably score!

Great stuff. Many thanks for posting this.

Thank you so much! Sumi-gaeshi is great!

I have never seen the detail of putting your weight under the person. This is EXCELLENT! Thanks guys.

That was awesome !!!

Uchi mata is a good for throwing crouching fighters...its also a good combo with sumi gaeshi...if they resist the uchi mata

It must be the Batman lover in me but his Gi is so goddamn awesome I don't have words.

Yeah, sumi gaeshi! One of my favourites =).

Great video. Thank u

Kathy is amazing! I now have some great things to work on where I am lacking.

Amazing technique

That was ultra-cool!

brilliant!

Whoa! Awesome move!

shes awesome...

Not sure how i ended up here, bodies getting tossed! subscribed!

I love his gi

You follow into mount or side control in judo as well. The main reason is most of the time this throw is scored wazari (1/2 a score, sort of) and then you win via a pin.

Thank so much for this video. I do this throw quite a bit. I do it a bit different though with the grips and instead of grabbing the belt, which I am going to try, my high grip is rather a gathering of the material at the shoulder. I by no means am at her or your level, but it seems to work right now. Thoughts on this approach?

She is lit 🔥🔥🔥

Good.

Respect

stephan! decade in freestyle judo here (nidan) and working towards purple currently in bjj. have me out sometime so we can go over other things that she didnt really touch on at the end (particularly about who i wouldnt do this to, or the types of people) freestyle allows for leg grabs, kuchiki taioshi (single leg) and morote gari (double) and kuchiki is one that if theyve got a strong base i wouldnt do this to. if i know the person is a strong wrestler, i wouldnt do this. ive been thrown with a single leg, and morote with this before. it looks really stupid. the person throwing sumi looks like they just flopped... you CAN however, modify this to still work in that situation, but it involes a strong arm drag and wrapping up the partners arms. again, bring my by there! itd be really cool! :P

Lovely video! Can you reassure me that this is legal for BJJ competition? Looks like it could be confused with head spiking? Are there any aspects - grips, direction of movement I can emphasize to stay on the right side of judges?

Cool

Awsome

More of Kathy with judo for bjj, please.

For bent over opponent : as soon as your opponent grabs your back and you feel it's bad you can go forward hug her and take her down (if you're good enough and can feel it). For the upright one : you can grab his back and control him It's just a matter of who's got who. It depends on how fast you react and your reflex and how good you are Every stance has a counter to it Bent over disadvantage : back grabbed Uprights stance disadvantage : hugged and taken down

Can this technique be performed as an effective counter to a single leg or double leg takedown?

does it work?

What should you do in the same situation but no gi.

More Judo pls!!!!

Is a head lock or other version legal in wrestling?

Thank you for the video, Mr. Kesting. I know it was the purpose of demonstration but even in Judo nobody stands up with their back arches backward that much lol.

I had a lady friend at jiu jitsu show me this awhile back. She is much smaller than I am and had no problem doing the technique. I am 190 lbs and she is maybe 135ish. She said she has hit this in competition and also said she baits giving up the the single leg.

Excelente - how do we avoid the unsuspecting crouched opponent’s head from slamming into the mat?

I agree, please do more instructional lessons with Kathy. She is awesome.

ok but demonstration should be the other way, can stephan get under hubble if she's crouched over and do a sumi gaeshi. I'm big and tall if i'm doing bjj even in my weight class the other guy is probably shorter so if he's crouched over maybe i can do a sumi gaeshi or maybe i can't. but thank you for the lesson anyway

Tawara Gaeshi works from those starting positions, too.

This is why having the takedown skills and grappling skills go hand in hand

Whats stopping the opponent from posting their hands on the floor?

37 years oh my god

My reaction when I saw the first throw omw to jj class... "GODDAM"

My bread and butter counter to single leg takedowns. Sometimes I’ll bait people with a single leg just to do it.

Sumi gaishi!!!!

👍

These techniques are legit, but one thing I've had issues with is that posture break snap down initiations of judo and bits of bjj. I almost never pull them off other than a sneaky arm drag, and likewise I've been able to stop them mostly. My body just does not 'give' like that and the jedi mind trick stuff is just too readable. I must be missing something, very willing to be wrong on this.

Also a great way to get blast doubled.

How do you do it without grabbing the GI ?

How tall is he

Isn't this head-outside-version of sumi geashi illegal in IBJJF comp ? Referring to the rules book: "Grab the opponents belt and throws him to the floor on his head when defending a single leg situation while his opponents head is on the outside of his body"

I do puter kepala silat throw on people who are crouching.

Doesn't work for the double leg take down but a nice move

I will never understand how people make sumi gaeshi look easy

Something for no gi?

Sumi gaeshi is me bread and butter.

You belt man, very high '-'

what about no gi?

Please forgive my language. But that was cool as shit!

Aver la colacha

So... Judo : "F-it I threw her I am done here." Jiu-Jitsu: "But wait, I am still conscious.. .the fight isn't over.."

More like Tomoe Nage

1st

In MMA it actually would be a great thing to spike their head into the ground

For self-defense, I'd kick.

Any move that requires your opponent to wear a gi to be effective is trash.
