Judo tutorial on body mechanics, weight, transferring weight, and balance.




This is a judo move called the Tai Otoshi, when I was a lot randoris (judo competition) this was one of my favourite moves simply because I thought it was explosive, easy to maneuver into, it requires a lot of attention areas.

This is a great instructional video on body mechanics, weight, pivoting, transferring body weight, balance.


Compare the image and the video. There's more of a gap between the two fighters. I wouldn't consider this an accurate representation of the move above.

p.s. Bent Knee - safety reasons. If your leg is straight, and your opponent lands on your leg, that's it.

Man I just freakin' love Judo!
