Judo Technique - Throw: Ko Soto Gake

[beziko]

Where did You find this black belt, in a pack of crisps?

[IOWNYOURTURFNOW95]

these to r big anywayz so y do thy need 2 learn judo lmao

[salvorhardim]

this is the worst ko soto gake had i ever seen. Stop to teach this, please! Learn before teach!!!

[humouralgerien]

n'importe quoi... 

[navyteccs]

lol u wouldnt have to fall with him when u get yur foot behind him just push him and he will fall

[Kanawanu]

im training mma and we're calling this a bearhug throw probably its from wrestling,and i personally watch judo on line but have never trained it and to some extent am successful in putting it into training and been throwing a lot of guys and finishing them with weird subs all over the place+ most of the subs are fail attempts of eddy bravos,but for sure to do this throw from my xp you need to be as tight to other guys body and use hips,and squeeze legs not tripping do that and get reversed...

[MustafaTekforce]

wrong throw

[javicid009]

fletoosssss

[judoclubmasevaux]

It's not Ko Soto Gake, it's Yoko Gake...

[pianoSpleen]

This is a very unusual kosotogari in my opinion... but all of these comments seem to forget that unexpected techniques and variations are how you win competitions.

[paladyn93]

It's similiar to vingativa - capoeira takedown technique.

[JasonProducer1]

what are these guys doing you guys fail im yellow belt and that throw sucks ass and its agay variation of what is apretty descent throw

[BakaYaru13]

That's a gari, not gaki, and since when is ko soto gari a sacrifice throw?

[Practice9Perfection]

I dont know that good judo to judge this, but it seems you lack technique...

[TheWarrior816]

wouldn't this throw be dangerous for you on concrete? i think so...

[gregorde]

Apparently, I fight just like Josh (although not as well). It's a great competition technique.

[micirv20]

What is the significance of the blue gi in judo? Thanks.

[guitargod01lovesBJJ]

like ko-uchi

[guitargod01lovesBJJ]

thank you for the explanation.

when i use that throw against colored-belt opponents (brown-black), i get countered with a powerful uchi mata.

in my opinion, it's safer to use throws that clip the opponent's leg FROM THE INSIDE.

well that's just my opinion.

[CliffVictory]

Everybody seems to like to criticize on Youtube;and leave negative comments? Why not just take from the technique what you can, a little positve feedback would be nice. In other words if you have nothing nice to say dont say nothing at all.

[btarrives]

What?

[avestak]

Not to discourage him but not the best tecnique out there. Compare that to the way Japanies do it, or Russians, two diffrent style and you will see what I mean. Also, its easy to throw an opponent when s/he is standing relaxed than in real randori!

[hakuboshi1]

all i have to do is... LOL

[bentleysuper8]

This should be re-titled kosoto-makikomi.

and for the record, Devilforce is a moron. If I had a nickel for everytime some yellow belt said "well all i have to do is...." I'd be able to pay off the National Debt.

[Hector2028]

all i have to do is.. lol. its easier said then done. you know that.

[UltimaXG2]

If he leaned forward, wouldn't he just wind up in a narrower stance and be doubly fucked?

[delvilforce]

you are suppose to pull the left side of your to the back also, otherwise you open so much chance for an opponent to get away.

As for a getting away from that attack all i have to do is lean forward that's all. as soon as i've leaned forward, I can easily attempt an encounter throw back.

[UltimaXG2]

If you lean forward, your stance gets narrower, so you'd actually be even more fucked.

[tsneds01]

I have seen quit a few top competitiors perform the throw in this manner. Serguei Kosmynin of the former Soviet Union is one example,David Bodavelli of the former Soviet Union is another. In modern day judo Mansur Isaev of Russia uses this technique quite successfully.

[bentleysuper8]

How the hell is that not real judo? I've been doing judo for over 30 years and if someone gets thrown on their back, good chance it's judo. The sport is evolving. Japan doesn't win all the medals anymore.

[SmartGuyMan]

Yeah the SPORT is evolving but I can see why those who practice traditional martial art stule judo would say this isn't proper judo.

[Spartacus217]

And of course Henry the horse dances the waltz.....

[Dschi]

thank you so much first reasonable person i see in this thread ^^... you guys should think more then just believe what a o calles expert tells you. this is not common sense

[Dschi]

and i tell you that this is not judo ^^

[oscaxrlan]

I believe it is considering that the instructor is a certified judo coach, referee, as well as and international competitor with medals.

this came up as one of the first entries in a google search on him.

what are your judo credentials again?

[Dschi]

my credentials dont matter and his ones dont impress me eighther i just see that this technique is a waist of power. fact which makes it unefficient so it does not obey the principles of good judo

[SafaFenoner]

Dschi is right. He's modifying the technique to such an extend that it's not really Judo. If a mathematics teacher teaches you how to skip rope, would you consider his teaching "mathematics" just because he's qualified to teach so? Kosoto Gake is never a sacrifice throw and he didn't even touch on the key points of a good Kosoto Gake.

At best, it is "an application" of modified Kosoto Gake.

[metalordie69]

dude thay guy is my teacher

[38Martin38]

dude that's not real judo, you should change your teacher :D

[Dschi]

i've got two critical points to tell. First: this is nos ko soto gake. as tori falls down with the uke this could merely be a yoko gake, but as uke falls backwards and not to the side this throw doesn't even exist.

Second: wheres the kuzushi? how will you break the ukes balacne with this movement? an more or less intelligent judoka wouldn't lose his balance with this type of mouvement as it is much to difficult to hook the leg which leads to an unefficient use and waist of power

[Reiflexx]

oh hellz yeah this works. I catch guys with this ALL the time in randori. It's a great counter for a weak

Uchi Mata, Hane Goshi, and most Goshi throws. If you countering one of these throws there's no need to to make a big effort to hook the leg cuz it already there. The nice thing is, if they keep fighting for the throw, you can keep diving and go for the far leg for a Tani Otoshi...either way they end up on their ass.

[tsneds01]

My Sensei here in Japan also teaches this exact same technique,have any of the critics actually tried these throws in randori or shiai?

[Hector2028]

some of the critics dont understand the difference between kata and rangori.. in kata everything is pretty.. rangori.. not so much. :)  Its a great vid..

[tsneds01]

Exactly,the way things look in Kata is rarely seen in randori or shiai. And I have been living and training in Japan for the last 3 years,it is the same here.

[Hector2028]

its funny. from my experience kata perfect throws only work until your about green belt. then. .you figure out everyone knows what you know. after green. if you dont have these variations your not going to be execute anything. lol Variations are a must for any judoka. !

[MrKodokan]

you mean randori

[Hector2028]

thanks webster :)

[tsneds01]

Another great video. Reminds me of the bear hug ko soto World Champion Nakamura used to perform in the mid 90s.

[resnick66]

until this morning i didnt know these were up and people were responding. thanks for the comedy.

[michaelkottler]

This is a modern variation of Ko Soto Gake in which Uke's leg is not hooked but rather, Uke is 'tripped' over Tori's posted leg as Tori sacrifices his standing position to make the throw. It is quite similar to Tani Otoshi, like a cross between Tani Otoshi and Ko Soto Gake, or a Tani Otoshi where Tori's foot posts behind Uke's near leg instead of extending behind the opponents far foot/leg. This variation has been utilized effectively in tournaments, and this video offers a good demonstration.

[xxxnicexxx00]

ling bang babipanggang?

[LDYthai]

no offence but i thought in ko soto gake it wasent a sacrafice throw also you break their balance so they fall easy.

[eddie2593]

1 step.

Tani otoshi!!!

if you actually did judo for 22 years as you claim you have you would of known that........

[derm0ntti]

@eddie2593 i thought Tani otoshi was a counter. I am only starting Judoka, But my 8th dan sensai showed us how to use it when someone goes for a Toshi like throw or even ippon`s. Maybe im wrong

[JudoNoSeito]

@derm0ntti Tani Otoshi can be both. If the opponent pushes hard it can be thrown as an attack. But it is a wonderful counter for almost any hip throw.

[reprezents]

Oh man, this might be even worse that ouchi-gari.

This is not a sacrifice throw, and you are using your own body weight to compensate for your lack of kusushi.

Dude, seriously, stop posting this stuff, people will think that is proper technique.

The only thing your blackbelt seems to be good for is holding up your pants.

[wicombatsports]

As posted on the other video thread, i'd like to let me know Josh Resnick's (video instructor) credentials:

[wicombatsports]

Here's his credentials:

-22 years in judo. Currently a yodan- 4th degree.

-USA Judo Certified Continental Coach and National Referee.

-Ranked in the top-5 of USA Judo at 66kg and 73kg from 1997 to 2004.

-International medals from the US Open, Canadian Open, and Pan-American Circuit Events.

-Represented the USA in European, Asian, and Pan-American competitions and events.

-Alumni of the San Jose State University Judo Team in San Jose, CA.

[retardno002]

what does san jose do with judo? if you would have been a student in japan for 22 years... now that's another story but no this... this is just a great way to break your leg (the one that hooks the opponent's leg).

[mickeyford]

What the hell does it matter WHERE you train?

You can learn from a great teacher ANYWHERE.

[judonerd]

what does sj state have to do with judo?!?!?! its where american judo, the governing bodies of american judo, and the olympic weight class system was born. look up your history. sjs is one of the most prestigious places to study judo in america.

[wicombatsports]

^^^^^^ agreed

[basedeal]

who the fuck are you who speaks as if you were some authority in judo?

[eddie2593]

haha!!

SHUT U UP!!

[wicombatsports]

basedeal... who are you talking about?

Josh never claims he's an authority... although his accomplishments are impressive.

[wicombatsports]

pshhh,

false.

Josh will toss you on ur head in 10 seconds.... Don't be a dick!

[swampertkid]

@wicombatsports it would take you 10 seconds to do a half-second throw, DAMN YOUR DUMB, i don't know this guy, but i have 4 black belts and will tell you straight up, gi or no, he'd knock you out with your own "10 second throw" 'cept he would do it to where he uses proper technique and skill instead of size to throw

Good day,

"The Octagon Ace" Ryan Lee Wade

[maofas]

@swampertkid Lol, 4 black belts in kiddie TKD maybe.

[mmaninjitsu]

@maofas you are an idiot

I trained with swampertkid for a couple years and he would have you on your ass so fast you'd need to breakfall when he does an armbar

[Nebuchanezher]

@reprezents Black belt or any other belt is only good for holding up your pants, anyone thinking otherwise is just kidding themselves

[chucknorriss]

@reprezents

uhhhhhh..... obviously you don't do judo. These techniques work at a super high level in international events. If you notice in even OSOTO GARI by yamshita he will go down with his opponents. There is nothing wrong with using your body weight as an added momentum or driving with your body weight.

[judokapavel]

@reprezents Totally agree. Ko soto gake does not belong into the self-sacrifice throws group, you show it as a self-sacrifice technique. You do not say a single word about the principles of the technique. Full support to variations development, but you should not name a video "judo technique: ko soto gake" and than show this weird mixture.

[JudoNoSeito]

@reprezents Right on. That is bad technique. Sure it worked but it's just plain bad judo. Looks more like a Tani Otoshi only worse...

[baccili]

Not exactly. You must see Kenji Susuky, against Timenov, in olimpiadas 2004.
