Wow. Hearing the practical application, fundamentals and tips on adjustments then finishing with some historical context was well worth the watch. This kind of sensei and instruction is a rarity!
Thanks so much Ross! We totally agree, that's why we had to start filming. Please help us spread the word so Riki sensei's teachings can reach more people!
@@RikiDojoUSA I sent this to our facebook Judo group as I taught it in our BJJ class. I wanted to see if our head Judo instructor had anything to say about it. he liked the points and the class went very good. again, thank you.
I wasn´t running rugby tackle type but I was advancing with the far leg like in wrestling so thanks for the tips to correct this as I taught it the other day badly. Does the shoulder push ? Things that happen when you have to cover sempai haha.
I find my self getting lower back pain when doing this if I don’t follow through, or stand straight up after dropping my level. It’s when I stay bent over post reap, something I’m doing doesn’t feel right. Is there something anyone can suggest? Edit: I think I’m not dropping low enough initially. Just did some filming and can see what might be the issue.
One of the most practical and devastating throws in Judo---much misunderstood and maligned by those who mistakenly think it's a power tackle. There is actually a lot of finesse and technical nuance to this waza. Too many people forget that it is a KARI, reaping, move. I could never understand the IJF's reasoning for banning this and other leg grab throws: because they look too much like wrestling? Is that for real??? Incidentally, I have a question you might be able to help me with. One of my students recently began cross training in BJJ. Last week he got to randori starting from the standing position and threw his opponent (more than once, I think) with Harai-goshi. At that point he was admonished by the instructor that BJJ does not allow throws that slam a person hard on his back, Harai-goshi included. I know next to nothing about BJJ so could anyone there clue me in if this is legitimate or not?
@@RikiDojoUSA Thank you very much, that is all I need to know. I do not follow Bjj since from what I know it is simply a ripoff of the Kosen Judo tradition which focuses mainly on Newaza. The techniques that Bjj practitioners claim as their own already existed as part of Judo decades before Bjj even existed. I suppose I'm one of those purists who regard Bjj as meaning "Basically Just Judo". Forgive me; that is perhaps not a charitable attitude, but there it is. 🥋🙏
Riki sensei always tells us that everything in judo came from (Japanese) jujitsu and that there's nothing new under the sun, just stuff people forgot about!
I'm a BJJ practioner. Slams are not legal. But any Judo thrown are considered a slam. Actualy BJJ nowadays are not more a tough marial ART. Like are in the past.
Great video!!! Love hearing my Cornhuskers getting a shout out!! This waza has a very hard impact, extremely powerful!
Thanks Mike! One might say you left your mark!

Fantastic!! Thank you
You are very welcome!
Very good instruction. Many Judoka, even instructors, miss the instruction of the step back instead of step in.
Thanks a bunch!
I love your channel very much - I find the instruction of technique so practical and wise. I always learn something new.
Thanks Jonathan, we really appreciate you saying so!
Thank you, Excellent details.

Bel video 👍👍👌👌 ciao
Grazie!
I have seen many Judoka do a shooting variation of the Morote Gari back in the 90’s and 2000’s when leg grabs were still legal.
Hopefully they'll come roaring back!
@@RikiDojoUSA There is a good chance.

Sure thing! The shoulder can push if you don't want to push with your head.

Bend your knees, not your back. Try dropping to one knee . The key is using your hands to reap behind the knees, a Kari action.
@@RikiDojoUSA thank you, I was definitely bending into the shoulder bump too hard.

Thanks Jun! Regarding BJJ rules...I can feel Riki sensei shaking his head from here.
