wtf....this dont is yama arashi,this is a joke?

[Momoyama79]

@bffx I'm sorry, what language is that? Google translate doesn't recognise it.

[rushfan000]

this isnt even close to yama arashi

[Momoyama79]

@rushfan000 Some folks on here disagree. I must depend on what you think "yama arashi" is.

[gianluca3975]

if this is Yama Arashi, I'm a flying donkey!!!!!

[mamoruVSdaeho]

i don't think that is yama arasi

[Momoyama79]

@TheJohnnysantos Thanks for that. If it's still not right that may be because we aren't actually very good at it. We only posted on YouTube as a central place for discussion on this throw on a forum, not to show off or teach the technique. I'm starting to take my YouTube channel much more seriously (hence some of the recent instructional videos) so may well re-film this at some point.

@CadetGormanMSCC you saw the watered down judo version...this is an offshoot of the Jujitsu version of the throw...still not right though...but a case could be made that he is trying not to kill the Uke...

[TheJohnnysantos]

@bffx this is a variation of the Original Jujitsu Yama Arashi which was in fact a fatal technique...in the original, when done properly the opponents arm is broken and before that fact registers in the brain...they land on their head and break their neck...The Judo version is considerably different since judo was created to be a sport...in essence they took alot of the Fatal stuff out of jujitsu, added a point system and some rules and thats where ya got Judo...so yeah...

Well I have been coaching for a few years now.

and in my opinion this is something else.

Yama arashi:- is fundementaly a transition from a two handed defensive stance (one grip on sleeve other on same side lapel) into a fast seonagi style throw, the arashi part is meant to be sweeping the ankle from the front to rear

[RacoonBurglar]

we should ask our jujutsu friends about this throw. they have more connections to it than us

@Momoyama79 my sensei is Roy Nanjo. He is a USA national judo coach. He's beaten the Korean national champion along with many others. And yama arashi is his favorite technique. He teaches it like the way you see it in most of these youtube videos. The only part that slightly resembles yama arashi in this video is where the right foot ends up in the tsukuri. This version of the throw seems much more harmful than good. because its very easily countered (as there is no kuzushi whatsoever)
