Fantastic. IMO, this type of Judo instruction is really lacking. 99.99% of the time you will see instructors provide a "recipe" for a technique. "Do this, then this, then he falls." Next to never does the instruction get into the principles of why and how the technique works. Without that, a true understanding of the technique is not conveyed. Thank you for your efforts in growing judo.

And this example you used, its kinda weird for senseis that do that, because its totally contrary on what judo is, since the principle of judo is to understand how and why a technique work, so we can use it in a more efficient way.

@@TravisStevensgrappling He's so right. For some reason Judo seems incapable of speaking about it's own principles and meta game the way bjj does, at least at the recreational level and on the internet. The best you can google is a generic description of of various country's Judo, ie "Georgians use wrestling". can't wait to get on the mats again and have this in mind, and when i'm moving my opponent about i have an actual purpose to visualise beyond just shaking the other guy until instinct tells me i should go for something

This guy deserves a raise. Best judo guy on KZread for sure

Great teaching tools Travis! Keep em coming! I'm still working on my Moroto Sieo Nage you worked with us on a few months ago here in TN. I got my black belt a couple of weeks before your seminar and have now started teaching our lower belts including my youngest son. Your videos have been good for me to reference to being a new teacher. Thank you sir!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. While I’m not a judoka myself, you’re videos/tutorials have helped me be a good uke for my son. Thanks again.

Thanks for the video ! I liked the use of the belts to show the positioning of tori. A couple of remarks for tori: 1) There might be a first slight/strong pull of the right hand forward to induce uke reaction backward precisely to create the opportunity for osoto gari, else the move is telegraphed and lives him opened for a counter. 2) Tori left arm needs to move a lot more in a curve motion moving to the back and finish with uke's arm towards his own belt. 3) Tori's left should be less "opened" to his left, but rather "closed" to his right inducing uke's fall in his 12th hour (using the clock positioning) 4) attention on tori's hips to actually give a whiplash on uke forcing the backward fall, using that kinetic energy more efficiently.

Thank you. I was never taught this throw, but the deep dive you've presented with such detail and precision makes me think I can give it go now.

This is great in depth stuff...Thanks!!

Excellent instruction! Thank you 🙏

This is so well thought out. Great details! Thanks very much.

Excellent break down and illustration!!

Great video. Many thanks Travis.

Great. Wish I had this kind of training.

Thank you Travis, nobody explains it quite the way you do. And I've tried it out in uchi komi, feels very natural indeed. Can't wait for my next randori 😁

Thank you Travis.

Beautiful explanation. Perfect.

Thanks Travis!

This is so helpful, thank you !

Hello Prof/Sensei! This addresses my specific frustration with Judo. I've trained a traditional Jujitsu for some time, and can mostly execute the throws well in kata form. Translating it into randori is another story though. I'm experiencing something akin to having the perfect comeback 10 mins too late. This quadrant concept makes a lot of sense to me and I'm glad I found your channel! Thank you sir!

This helps a lot, thank you.

You just blew my mind with this quadrant tool you laid out. For the longest time I've struggled to understand how o soto worked. And why it wasn't working for me. But seeing this from the different angles you laid out explains so so much. Thank you for your time and knowledge. Also, your over hand grip escape technique worked flawlessly today for me against my sensei!. Granted he is 42 now, but still a high level international player at his prime. Felt totally hopeless when he got that top grip on me. But escaped 3 times today! Again, thank you.

Thanks! I plan to take my first class soon. If you wanted to do the throw on the opposite side, do you need to change your grip? Or does it only work on that side with the standard grip?

This is great - really useful. I've been able to execute O Soto but it's been hit and miss. I've realised my foot position/quadrant has been wrong and I've been focusing too much on directing diagonally. Thanks.

So true.

This is why I kept arguing that O Soto is not useless technique. Some coaches here saying O Soto is useless and can never be applied in competitions and there's only 1 direction to throw it. I beg to differ. Many Olympic and World champions use O Soto. In fact, O Soto is one of the most versatile waza in judo.

When entering osoto the correct way dose it matter if I play around with pulling out or down with the sleeve hand?

Awesome explanation. This throw is basically executed incorrectly by roundabout 99% of all judokas, in my opinion. They all fail to to do the side step and come in sideways, instead of stepping forward after first taking that side step.

Professor, do you think where you're looking at the finish is important? Do you look down at the floor, his butt, or to the diagonally to the left?
