If you want to improve even more this position that you "hate", then you should work on your leg positioning :) : - *Back leg* :The way you use your back leg is a common mistake, even sometimes in judo (though more common with people with a wrestling background). The *knee should touch the floor* to avoid the leg being caught (then you are rolled over), and the *feet should point backward* to prevent the opponent from sitting up. - *Front leg* : The front leg should be *extended* (not bent) to *prevent your opponent from bridging* . Cheers
@@user-md2fm7ik2z You are welcome. I do not mean to promote a different channel but here is the best video I have seen out there on the fundamental mechanics of kesa gatame: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9kcVWg6FMu0.html It is the way I was taught as a judo kid in the EU and I am always baffled that such basics are missing in 99% internet instructional videos.
I'm so mount and back attack oriented I feel like I have really under-utilized this position in my game. Thank you for sharing! It's given me a lot to think about.
