Set Up Your Ippon Seoi Nage Easily With These Simple Steps! 

This is exactly the sort of lesson I was hoping for....not many people can pull off standing seoi nage at any level especially yours and I've seen you do it more than once! Thanks for sharing these type of lessons for me are the most important

This is by far the best channel for Judo on RU-vid! Thanks for the great content!

Man I love all your DVDs but I was wondering can you make a judo selfdefense for the street please that would be wonderful.

✊🏅🇩🇿🙏

Absolutely love how Travis breaks down the techniques and how clearly he explains things, spot on!

I highly recommend Travis’ series “mastering Iplon seoi nage”

Hey Travis, what do you think of taller guys doing seoi nage? Should we not attempt it against smaller opponents? Also, I really wanted to make a highlights video of your judo. Know anywhere where I can get footage of your tournaments?

I’ve been binging your content for a few days now, really appreciate your approach to the standup game. I’ve been doing bjj for around 15 years and have always been attracted to throws, but it wasn’t until Brian Olson opened a school 40 minutes away that it reminded me how awesome judo can be. Thanks again for all your work.

One thing that I've noticed that doesn't seem to get touched on a lot is how to use the jacket to move your opponent. Everyone talks about pushing and pulling and I kind of get that, but I think this (and another one of your other videos) is the only one that really talks about how hand placement really matters outside of just "Guard the collar grab the collar"

Thanks, Travis! I just got the course, and it looks really good. I have a question that I've always wanted to ask (and which I'm guessing won't be covered in the course). If you're in normal regular right-handed shizen-tai (i.e. both players are symmetrically holding a right handed stance with the right foot forward), and your opponent is expecting a right-handed seoi, he's often thinking about defending against that right-handed seoi. He's often not thinking as much about being thrown with a left throw. Since you already have your right hand gripping his lapel, can you just throw a left-handed seoi from there? I see it every so often at lower levels. I don't think I see it much internationally, though I distinctly remember Hifumi Abe doing a similar change of direction into...maybe sode? I think he's done it more than once. He goes one way and then ends up going the other. I watched the first fifteen minutes of your Seoi course, and it looks like it would be harder to get uke to "punch back" or for tori to "fill the space" if uke's right foot is forward. The distance you need to travel is also greater. But can it still work? If not, is there a way to set it up so that it works? I'm just wondering if it's good to have a threat on both sides, or whether that left throw mostly only works on lower-level opponents.

Eastern Block players 😂😂😂 Prime Badass Travis Stevens right there

And what is with Theo left seoinage from your Partner?

what du you do if somebody kommes vrom over the top and grips your back form underneath the armpit

ME TOOOOOO!!!! I LOOVE HIME😘🤩😍🥰😘😘😘💋💋❤❤💖💓

Love judofanatics

This is actually amazing. I don’t think I would have understood it a few years ago.

Dont knows why but this video came out with extra low volume for me. Usually it's just a little low, but I could hardly hear you on this one. Besides that, excellently presented content. Do you believe ippon seoi nage is a good throw for most body types? Taller or shorter players etc.

Seriously great content. Loving it lately, really helping

This is the best!! I have in my dojo "an esatern bloc" fella who does exactly same motion to throw a mean georgian grip. Thank Mr. Stevens this is gold.

🙏👊

I will for sure try this in my randori thanks Travis

the throwing you do is a bit wrong. Try using the hand that goes under there arm on the shoulder. make sure to try this please it helped me alot

👍

Looks like it would work well from double lapel for old guys like me who need to play a bit of defense to slow down the kids.

What a wonderful lecture!

This dude's the man so cool 😎

Thank you 👍

Many thanks for the details in this excellent video! This can really kill the high grip while having strong shoulder control for ippon seoi nage. As a right handed player, I have also tried to use this grip to set up ippon seoi nage, but I found that I would not be able to do other techniques like right side morote seoi nage, tai otoshi, etc, which I could only perform with a standard sleeve and lapel grip. Wish to know how you would set up other techniques with this grip? Or would you prefer attacking the left instead? I also wish to if you would use drop seoi in BJJ, or you would prefer other takedown techniques with lower chance of having your back taken? Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much
