Seoi-otoshi* [fixed]

[@singaporejudo4349]

Thanks.

[@cortx2lh]

Isn't it a tai otoshi??

[@TeamFortress2rl]

Uke's arm is held similar to an Ippon Seoi Nage and Tori's legs work like a Tai Otoshi. So the result is this Seoi Otoshi :)

[@cortx2lh]

Yeah. I knew this as a variation of Tai Otoshi. Always called it a "one armed tai otoshi". And i thought that in seoi otoshi you needed to bring your leg far behind, not across the uke. But thanks, anyway.

'Seoi' means carried on the back. When you wear a backpack, that is 'seoi'. Seoi nage is so called because you lift uke onto your back like a sack. Seoi otoshi is the same technique except that you drop onto your knees and pull uke straight over rather than lifting. Most examples of 'drop seoi nage' are actually seoi otoshi. The 'Korean style' one-armed tai otoshi that you mentioned practicing does NOT involve contact with tori's back and shoulder, and looks like this: ua-cam.com/video/cBMmXIdkYwE/v-deo.html. But here sensei Young makes it clear that there SHOULD be contact with tori's back, so maybe this is different to the typical Korean tai otoshi, and should, indeed, be thought of as 'seoi'. Meh.
