@judomachine So are you saying its not as good as a traditional double leg?
-
No more morote gari in Judo in this times. Thats good 'cause with the morote gari Judo looks like wrestling, and Judo beauty is focused in throws like uchi-mata, ipon seogue nage and stuff like that
-
morote gari basically = a blast double leg, it kinda seems like these people should just learn wrestling. I try to say this in the least offensive way possible, as even I want this dvd for a better morote gari
-

Is sprawling made harder buy the fact of being avble to grab the pants?
-

i have won a great amounts of fights with morote gari.. fuckin new rules :/
@jade3liphant i wrestled in college and morote gari an the traditional double leg are different. VERY different. things that look similar are not the same. i didnt take offense to you comment as i am aware that the eyes can only see what the mind can comprehend. ;) to you it looks like a blast double because quite honestly, thats what you see. however it is not.

There is no such thing as an infallible technique. Don't inject survivor bias into the equation. Remember, you are talking about someone that ACTUALLY made the Olympic Team. I could use the same argument for the person that did NOT make the Olympic Team. Had they used Morote Gari, they could have possibly made the team. That argument isn't sound which is why I don't say that any technique will "MAKE YOU AN OLYMPIAN". I just show you the best ones out there to give you a good bang for your buck.

YES!! I will show you how anyone can do Morote Gari based upon the setup. That is a big misconception with Morote Gari. It's like saying that you can't do uchimata because you are short. Muneta does uchimata with no problem. Its all in how you set it up. But quite on honestly, I probably wouldn't encourage Teddy Riner to do Morote Gari, but he could definitely do it. And he does fight people who are his height and/or close to it.
