O Soto Gari in Kenka Yotsu has to be the most dangerous technique for Uke, excluding goddamn Tani Otoshi of course. Thank You for taking the Time to explain that you need to reajust after hooking the leg. So it starts as a O Soto Otoshi, and then ends in a O Soto Gari Great video :) As for Utsuri Goshi, it was well explained and well done
Yeah, it's not good for uke's knees if you power through on that angle...making that adjustment in direction is critical!! Glad you liked this video Mohamed!
I'm 6'2 and love Utsuri Goshi as well...it's definitely not a "one size fits all" kind of thing...for me, potentially being able to do any throw, regardless of body type, is one of the great things about Judo.
Absolutely not Russell. If done correctly, there should be no pressure on your opponents knee. The knee should bend exactly as it is supposed to. If you do come in and put sideways pressure on the knee, you're not doing this technique and instead doing something very different.
@@TheJudoWayofLife You say "if done correctly" but at 06:16 the attacking leg is perpendicular to the uke's standing rear leg and you then proceed to drop your weight. That is guaranteed destruction of the uke's anterior and medial cruciate ligaments and probable severe bone bruising as well. I agree it should be safe if done correctly but the demonstration is flawed.
