Hey, all. I have been thinking about my favorite throw. One of the black belts at the club was telling us mudansha that we should take the waza that we're the best at and "make it our own." So I'm going to start studying this one more carefully.
Uki waza is my favorite throw. I have been thinking about it a lot and was wondering if anybody had any insights or tips on the attack?
Seems to me that it works best when someone is giving you their forward momentum, but you could also step to your right front corner and then drop.
Also, it seems to me that if the opponent's weight is not on their front leg as you drop, they won't go.
And that trapping the foot with the leg you drop is good but not necessary.
Also, one should practice it so that if the throw goes off you immediately roll onto the opponent's chest or side in a hold like tate shiho gatame?
Any thoughts? Tips? Anecdotes?
