Man thank you so much. I'm judoka from Serbia and i started judo at 16 now im 19, learned pretty much nothing from my club because i started in oldest group where they we're more focused on randori and conditioning so i had to learn by my self pretty much. Now im so in love with sport and its my life, im giving all of my self to it because i wanna become a champion one day. I have like 100+ papers where i written down every single thing u said and all the tips. You are the best man, much respect and thank you again. I wish to meet you one day. 🥋🙏

Finally...someone doing a real Tai-Otoshi. So many Judo players try to simply block uke’s leg and popping it to make the throw happen. Travis says “drop” in this video and you can see his weight dropping as he throws...it’s literally what makes the throw work and why the throw is call Tai Otoshi (Body Drop). Beautiful technique.

Love the "swaying/rocking"...such a subtle movement with a profound effect.

It will be a game changer if you can learn to do it.

Tai otoshi is one of the most devastating throws in judo. Not as spectacular as others, but if you're thrown with this your whole body is smashed at once. And that, on a padded surface. Just thinking what this can be on concrete is scary.

Love this Korean-looking Taio from you; the ways you get yourself into position for it are so great and practical to boot.

Great video. My coach just showed this last week and your video gave me a little different perspective and I cannot wait to get back to randori. Btw, my daughter (little less than one year in judo) finally ippon'd a girl she could never throw in an in house shiai match with this throw. Thanks for the tutorial!

Coach Travis, your chanel and your instruction is awesome. Thank you. God bless. Jai Ram! 🙏🙂

I used to do this all the time in competition, especially if uke is inexperienced enough to take a lapel grip before going for the sleeve or elbow grip immediately after the referee calls "Hajime". Very few people ever expect an attack when they are the one with a grip. I always did it more as a Seoi Otoshi though.

@TravisStevensgrappling

Yes it can be done as a Seoi Otoshi. I just find people can jump to the other side a lot and you can over shoot the throw. But I still do both just depends on the situation.

Great how u explain the swaying. I've done aikido for 17yrs and this sway or using centre is a major principal. I do traditional ju jitsu also and bringing this feeling really helps when training with stronger partners. It saves u getting fatigued by using strength all the time.

My sensei keeps telling me to get way below the other person's belt, however, I see in your videos that you sometimes are not squatting that much to pick up the other person. Thanks and greetings from Spain.

Thank you. I usually default to either uchimata or seoi (if i'm posting on the shoulder) as far as forward throws go. Definitely need to give tai otoshi a go. This looks like a great opportunity to throw it

Travis, I've got two questions. 1. With the driving hand, are you slicing across the bicep or do you have more of a palm push with it? 2. A lot of us learned tai otoshi with the footwork where your end position has your feet turned sideways with one leg bent and the weight more on that leg. You, Jimmy and Neil Adams all do it as more of a deep squat with both feet facing forwards. Any thoughts on that? I was taught that was dangerous on the knees.

great thank you .what is your bread n butter throw

When trying à (right) shoulder throw sometimes uke defends advancing and his right leg to the right and to the front . Then is a good moment for trying tai otoshi.

We're still in quarantine. I can't wait to try this tai otoshi in randori.

Really like the emphasis of the use of body! However, when practicing this throw, I often have trouble with my right hand. I pushed my partner’s crook of the elbow but my sensei told me not to. He told me to simply rest my arm on the opponent’s crook of elbow and add some downward pressure. While some other people told me to grab the sleeve. Wish to know how you use your right hand when doing this throw. Thanks a lot!

When I first arrived at the Kodokan as a boy I saw a young Japanese kid win 5 points in a row during a monthly grading contest. They were so fast and so beautiful and also he went left and right. I was too weak and skinny to be any good at this throw but looking back I wish I had tried to master it. While at the Kodokan I read an article by a Japanese master who said you had to practice Taiotoshi 240000 times each side. He made a taiotoshi machine - i.e. a post in the ground with rubberd belts and after a few years he said he could really throw with taiotoshi. I don't remember his name. I am old now and it was long ago.

The body rocking + the pull of the sleeve is more than enough. If someone is sitting super heavy then you can always add a cross grip for added pull but it's not really needed.

Its a lot harder because you have to cover such a big distance. Even for a heavy weight it's almost impossible to do. You really need to have the collar or Tricep grip to pull off that throw. Even Muneta as a heavy weight throw this version of Tai Otoshi as a heavy weight.

I get lost easy in Judo forum! I am armchair in BJJ. I bought some video and I know some of the language and techniques. Most of the Judo I see is so high level it baffles me. Do you know of a good Judo video I can get to learn basics? I'd really like to get into it! I practice Silat, Escrima, Tai Chi and Bagua. I have been practicing martial arts for 35 years!

Yeah , sorry. I had a typo there. It meant to say "If you turn the corner while pulling sleeve across and your opponent WON'T square back up to you, what your response would be?". What I'm mean is the set up you explain in 2:35 of the video. You've got a sleeve grip and you force uke into sort of arm drag position where he has to square back up to you. I compete in bjj and you won't always get a logical reaction from your opponent in tachi waza there. They also got lower stance so getting the second grip over the top is much easier and less risky than in judo.
