I cannot tell you how much help this is to me ! I was working on finding "my own judo" this year, and I ended up working on a lot of maki komi techniques. This Yoko Guruma solves a big problem I was having. It complements my set of techniques beautifully, and makes me really happy. Thank you a lot.
@@welcomematstevescott I tried it yesterday, but I couldn't drag Uke down while holding to the arm. It will need some trials and errors from my part first. I will try untill I succeed though. For now I need to understand where to apply pressure while falling. Cheers
@@welcomematstevescott Very much so. My personal tokui-waza and I've gotten international black belts twice my size and triple my weight with it. A great equalizer. Don't know why more judoka don't use it but it just makes me all the more special for having mastered it. Like the different grips used here. First one is also good for Yoko Wakare as well.
I imagine we have. When we do cover a topic (or technique) more than once, we always try to give a bit different perspective or modification than what was done in another video.
Thanks! Quick, perhaps dumb, question: what if he is constantly recapturing (gripping hard on) your right side and thereby trammeling your ability capture that left (or right as the case may be) arm? That's the trouble I have. In your experience, is it simply a matter of footwork (out circling to the left) or continually breaking his right grip, or a combination of lightning fast, short order grip break and tskuri/kuzushi? Hope that question makes sense, sir.
I would say that the answer to your question is yes-all of what you describe play a part in gaining and keeping control. This is where good old-fashioned hand fighting or grip fighting comes into play. We often drill on just working on gaining control and keeping control in grip fighting drills. You may have had experience in these types of hand fighting drills in Muay Thai. The hand/grip fighting also entails working on movement/footwork. So, in a very real sense, you are indeed constantly capturing and recapturing your opponent's hand and arm in an effort to control him long enough to make the attack. My advice is to work a lot on hand/grip fighting drills with your training partners. Make it much like what we call "grip randori" where the immediate goal is to out-grip your partner. Hope this is helpful.
It is a sneaky & great move ! Thank you for sharing this technique.
Thanks.

Finally, Yoko Guruma.
Sure enough-this is an under-rated and under-appreciated throw.

Fabulous. One of my recent high percentage go-to’s in both judo and bjj.
👍
Could have sworn you did this previously. Thanks, though.
