Thank you Jongler! We've been trying to capture Riki sensei's teachings for about to years now. I'm hoping to get the production value up so the video quality and audio quality don't detract from the quality of his teaching, but it's an uphill battle!
I have always had a bit of difficulty getting comfortable with this throw. I wish this video had been available long ago, it would have spared me so much anguish. Thank you. I hope you can also provide videos soon on Osoto-otoshi, Ogoshi, and Koshi-guruma. Thank you!!!
Thanks Jun! Osoto-otoshi is in the works, as well as a few other kata videos. My ultimate goal is to have a video for every technique in the gokyo-no-waza (plus shime-waza and kansetsu-waza), but that might be too audacious. Time will tell...stay tuned!
I love this channel! Riki Sensei's teaching are so grounded in fundamentals, but while being entertaining, insightful, and acknowledging of the complexity of judo. I hope I get the chance to visit the dojo someday!
One of my favorites! Great video! Informative and educational as always. We're very fortunate you share knowledge and experience with world. Arigatō Riki Sensei!
Question for Sensei: my teacher is a young Olympian and he performs Tai-Otoshi with the leg going directly to the side, and not back (as I commented earlier on the similarity of Zinkuchadachi stance). I have seen a Japanese olympian (retired) perform this with the leg going back as you teach it here. I like the step back more because it is like a wedge that drives the leg into a position of immobility. Just a curiosity on my part.
@@OldJudoGuy The leg going directly to the side is susceptible to injury of the ACL when it fails. Tai Otoshi is a Tewaza, the leg going back helps the hands with added power to the Kuzushi.
This really is top quality. The technique too, but the message at the end is gold.

Yup!! Such great teaching. I wish my classes are like this
Powerful wise voice
Crispy throws, The footage angles are so sweet.
We are fortunate to have great judoka!
Great instructions, great video angle, creamy slowmos, crispy audio! Fantastic!!
Thank you, we're glad you enjoyed it!
Really like the thoughts on the last minute. Every dojo should be like that!
It is fun to see videos of judo trows when you haven't done judo since I'm 11. I'm trying to learn it again
Thank you, and welcome back! It's a lifelong endeavor :) More videos coming soon!

Please more videos like this 👍👍👍🔥

Thanks Reginald! I will love tai-otoshi someday if it kills me.
Great details. Using the tatami grid system helps.
Thank you Kevin!
It’s interesting to see the kihon no kata here is essentially a zenkuchadachi stance from karate circles
My favorite is the slow motion! 🥋

His method look`s better for a no gi aplication.
All these throws existed before judogis were invented, you've got lots of options!
ANTON GEESINK DID IT BEST !
So true!
