I used to watch these videos years ago the technique were more believable and less basic. I don’t feel the videos are that helpful anymore. However I appreciate what I’ve learned over the years. I want to thank you guys for your teaching.

You’re a well built fella. I’m struggling to see this work with a 10 stone guy trying to cut through you with sufficient impact to take you down .

It's not the impact that does it. It's a combination of throwing them off balance and using your own body weight and momentum to drive them down. Azu is pretty big, but if you tiled him back at an awkward angle and put 10 stone on his shoulder, he'd go down too. Also they don't really touch on it in the videos, but not every technique will work on every person every time. That's why you learn multiple techniques that technically address the same situation.

@Serenityinside Take an (introductory) Aikido class, and experience technique over power. I (90kg and 1.80m) as a beginner regularly get thrown around like a rag doll by my sensei. She's a 55kg, 1.50m pensioner.

@@clivearmitage Exactly. I'm short but stocky. Been training off and on for years, but I started Hapkido when I was in high school (and in good shape, 5'5" (165cm) and 180lb (82ish kg) with little fat). I was paired with a girl who was a little shorter than me and weighed probably 40 to 50kg, practicing a technique that we used to counter wrist grabs. The technique probably has a name in another martial art, but our school didn't really focus on the traditional names of techniques. So someone grabs your wrist while it's at your side, you bring your hands up to guard your face, identify the person grabbing you (could be a friend just trying to get your attention or whatever), step back and pivot your hips while you extend your arm, basically pulling them off balance and grabbing their wrist in turn, which leads into a plethora of other techniques. Anyway, we trained with resistance, especially against techniques that were set ups and there was no risk of injury. So I let her do it a few times, and my instructor walked by and said, "don't give it to her." So I didn't. She tried it, and I didn't move. After a couple of tries, she took a deep breath and really snapped it out, engaged her hips and used her body movement. I about landed on my face, and it's not even a throwing technique. The lesson? Yes, size matters in a fight. Anyone who says size isn't important has never been in a fight. But proper application of technique will beat size and strength 9 times out of 10.

Clive is making some good points, most of what you see has to do with a few things working together at the same time

all about momentum

And flow and balance

Another point about the footwork which I have been focusing on lately is the importance of remaining on balance at all times. A person falling will naturally grapple for something to hold on to and that's gonna be you in this case. Even if you execute a tidy sumi otoshi you need your feet and your centre of gravity to be positioned so that can't take you down with them. It's easy to put your momentum into a movement ASSUMING you will end up in a certain place, but if something happens in the middle while you're off-balance, you're screwed.

Fantastic point 👍🏽

This is an old technique that may need more explanation What you are doing is leaning into the other person on just one of their shoulders and when you do they feel off balance and try to step back a little to get balanced again and when they do that, they trip over your leg/foot in back of them. So with your foot behind them just that nudge by you will cause them to fall backwards And they go down. You don’t need a lot of strength.

Kinda, but also as they start to fall, you step "through" them so they fall sideways rather than backwards. The combination of not being able to put their leg back (as you said) and the fact the falling sideways is hugely discombobulating makes for an effective technique

I'm confused .. So how does this technique (the name in the video doesn't sound familiar) differ from the technique of irimi nage (the entering throw) shown in earlier videos?

Where is Andre?

Enough of the slow dance. Let’s mix it up. Show us that
