- The most essential component to throwing an opponent is to learn how to test, gauge and break their balance, creating imbalance in them, without sacrificing your own. In this clip you get an essential introduction to Kuzushi--the art of breaking balance, along with a simple solo exercise that will supercharge your skills.

Fabulous breakdown. On another note, while an absolute understanding of kuzushi is mandatory, in more dynamic situations it is less of a factor... a charging opponent has no structure. Or in a reverse embrace, breaking balance generally requires you to sacrifice your own posture (sutemi) in order to throw your opponent... Bind, Throw yourself, Reconstitute your balance as the weight passes. In my experience the most essential component in throwing is Commitment, absolute devotion to the task.
Kuzushi is always present. In a general sense it’s just a question of who provides it. A charging opponent is doing it to himself. A drunk opponent lives in that state. An icy environment does it equitably to both parties constantly. I understand what you’re saying but for me it’s a question of learning the principle to forget the principle. I advocate making it the first step in everything until it doesn’t need to be thought of.
Excellent breakdown and explication as always. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Spirittkdaus thank you for watching
Thanks for some beautiful tips
Thanks for watching.
I loved the little “systema story lesson”. It’s hard to find anything about the systems roots anywhere.

Kevin Secours Nice! Can’t believe I missed it. haha
That's because it's a complete fraud
@@scarred10 Eat a snickers. haha
@@ricksterdrummer2170he is right. It’s just marketing BS starting from black belt magazine and TRS in the early 90s
This is sexy. It looks like something that you might see in a 1970s Hong Kong Kung Fu movie. Judo is fun and practical as well. It's admirable that Jigoro Kano wanted Judo to be available to anyone and thus the Judo Federation puts a fixed price on training. Good stuff.
But Kano also didnt wanted to get a competition sport.
@@Gieszkanne Indeed.
Thanks for this,Sir
Check out Nick Lowry's series on kuzushi in judo and aikido on the Kaze Uta Budo Kai channel. Dynamite stuff. Thanks for spreading the secret to the Russian arts!
I read that the taekwondo association has revoked Putin’s black belt. Does that mean that Putin is now a white belt? Just kidding.
These videos are absolute gold. You have done good by not just calling yourself a systema guy… you are a real martial artist and great teacher. Awesome drill by the way.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Great drills; I might try it with a high weight resistance band. And maybe a tree someone doesn't mind me wrapping a mattress around, haha
You might want to take a look at this variation m.ua-cam.com/video/9GXV13Ox4kc/v-deo.html
Would you use the same principles for Ashi Waza techniques or freestyle and Greco roman wrestling grips and take downs?
Is it the same way in establishing Kuzushi then Tsukuri followed by the completion of the technique (Kake) because sometimes you don't have to have grips to get to a sweeping single as you could do it from a duck under or just being fast and explosive to be at the side of them before they have a chance to defend... Would you be going straight into Tsukuri then Kake with that? Is that ok to do or should you always try to establish Kuzushi first?
Thanks
Imbalance can occur through deception, baiting, breathwork etc. It just takes practice and it’s usually easiest to start physically so you can feel it . Thanks why in our approach we address eyeliner, hearing and overall attention near the end once the physical components are mastered
@@Combatprofessor so in your methodology your looking at it more holistically? Not just a literal physical but all the poker tells of the human body. That's an interesting way of looking at it.. sound exhausting too.
Are you doing most of this with using prevail vision (obviously not the sound of their breath part)?
Daniel Andrews it’s pretty simple. We teach one component per level and only add the next once the first is manifesting consistently in performance. You might enjoy m.facebook.com/groups/462273807501155?view=permalink&id=1027633887631808
Kevin you are a genius. Excellent work.
Peter Angelo very kind. Thanks for watching.
This is good stuff. 🙏
Thanks for watching.
Good lesson. Subscribed.
Nice Video. Kevin Secours. 👍
Learning and understanding kuzushi has elevated my practice exponentially.
Very insightful, thank you!
Thanks for watching
@@Combatprofessor you're welcome!👍
I think in Judo/Jiu Jitsu are to much throws that rely on brute force like you demonstrated here. This ripping and tearing thing is rather hard not "Ju". I think a lot this is caused by competition and randori. Because your partner expected a throw knows how te be thrown and work against it. A throw should come in disguise not expected otherwise it didnt make much sense at least to me. Maybe thats why Kano was against competition.
I disagree. Kuzushi is generally very brutal in a real fight, in fact it includes hitting to disrupt the structure and nervous system. The soft aiki ideals rarely manifest in real violence in my experience. This is the difference between ideology and reality.
@@Combatprofessor In MMA or in general full contact fights where kicks punches and throws are allowed you can see more effortless throws. Not because they get partially knocked out but just because the fight is faster more fluid not as rigid as Judo/Wrestling fights.
@@Gieszkanne real fights. Street fights .
@@Combatprofessor They are even more fluid wild and unpredictable!
@@Gieszkanne yes and rougher and more brutal not more gentle and subtle
Good explaining and examples
Thanks for watching.
I had black belt in karate long time ago, when i was training Judo with our national team I used to tell them about the power of using hips and if it exist in Judo....none of them understand or utilize it....no winder they didn't do good in tournaments....🤣🤣
Emad Darawsheh that’s too bad. It was one of the first things I learned in jujitsu . That’s why I always say it’s not about good styles, it’s about good teachers
@@Combatprofessor
I do agree with you bro
National level judo player that didn't use hips...? What? What kind of a National team did you have? Were they all white belts??
