Helps if they are moving forward a touch of aiki always assists such matters. You can use an underhook even 2 hands on their forward arm at least Koreans can.

I have been practicing and trying (and failing ) Tai-otoshi alot in Randori and Shiai.<br />Luckily our club filmed many of the fights and as I read your instructions and analyze my randori, I can specify alot of my mistakes in them! <br />By reading your instruction, It should save me at least 1 year to discover all the mistakes I made on my own (lol). I hope I can sucecssfully execute Tai-Otoshi in next 3 months :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676932401991706779.post-91290162237137878382013-02-15T15:41:35.829+00:002013-02-15T15:41:35.829+00:00Beginner, yes it is.

In the "tai otoshi-look where you throw" video at roughly seconds 12 and 23 and in the "de ashi barai tai otoshi" video at around second 29 it looks like tori's tsurite elbow is actually against uke's chest. Not blatantly across as in morete seoi but it surely is not inserted in the arm pit. What am I missing here??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676932401991706779.post-53264388012640832302011-08-08T07:30:32.666+01:002011-08-08T07:30:32.666+01:00My problem with this throw (well, ONE of my proble...My problem with this throw (well, ONE of my problems) concerns where to place my right foot in regards to the initial step. If I step into the point of the triangle, I end up "blocking" uke (i.e., standing in front of the person I'm trying to throw), so it was suggested for me to step to uke's left side (i.e., slightly to the outside of him), and then form the right angle with my feet, and then stick my right leg out and back and throw him over it. <br /><br />Does this advice make sense? It's certainly not what Adams does, who seems to take his initial right step directly in front of uke and yet not in any way get "stuck" or "block" himself. Indeed, I would go as far as to say Mr. Adams seems to have a better grasp on the throw than I do lol..<br /><br />Also, I've been told to "pull" (hikite) and "push" tsurite uke toward the side of the room, even though I'm ostensibly throwing him forward (in front of me). In other words- aim to throw uke not to his front, but to his right side, even though he'll END UP being thrown to his front.<br /><br />Is this sound advice as well?<br /><br />I hope my questions are clear...<br /><br />Anyway- wonderful as always.

I know what you mean about internal weight shift, though I suspect it'll take a damned long time before I can actually get that to work in randori. Still, you've given me a lot more to think about and work on, cheers :)Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676932401991706779.post-48332360770596437292011-05-14T00:03:28.329+01:002011-05-14T00:03:28.329+01:00Hi John, glad you found the post useful.
You don&...Hi John, glad you found the post useful.<br /><br />You don't have to get 70/30, 50/50 and of course anything in between, works just fine. Its only when more than 50% of your weight goes over the 'non throwing over leg' i.e for a right hander the left leg.<br /><br />50/50 can win you a world championship and olympic silver... lol.<br /><br />Also 70/30 isn't meant as an exact percentage its a guide figure. <br /><br />To get a majority of your weight on the throwing over leg i.e for a right hander the right leg. <br /><br />It starts with 3 toe kuzushi, if you break balance that way to be able to do that balance break you have to internally shift your weight over your right leg. <br /><br />Also, as outlined in the article, head positioning looking at the mat in front of your right foot will also help shift the weight.<br /><br />On top of that and more difficult to describe is the 'internal weight shift'. Don't really know how to explain it but you kind of move your weight without moving, if you know what I mean. Not sure how to explain that better, sorry.<br /><br />That any help?<br /><br />As I said if you can't manage it just go for 50/50 the key message is never have more than 50% on the non throwing over leg.nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135132113588185814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676932401991706779.post-36417075022044788822011-05-13T20:19:55.871+01:002011-05-13T20:19:55.871+01:00Hey, thank you very much for this indepth analysis...Hey, thank you very much for this indepth analysis of tai otoshi - very useful. I do have a question for you though, how do I get 70% of my weight onto the outstretched leg? My torso is far more over the other leg and consequently my weight shifts to that leg as well. I'll be talking to my sensei about it at the next session but if you've got some kind of tip then that'd be useful as you clearly know a lot about this throw! <br />Thanks,<br />JohnJohnnoreply@blogger.com
