hips are the most important in judo, know thw concept of "hara"???
-
just curious, but in what ways is this exercise useful?
-
nice exercise....I didnt like the bending of the knee that was weird....your sweep should be coming from the hip.

facilitates the rotation of the body via the opening and closing ofthe hip action and minimizes extraneous body weight shift

many people think so but i find it is not so-- the power in the sweep is actually much more focused from the knee down-- the big muscles of the hip and butt are the last to engage in the the sweep when it is is done efficiently..... experiment -- try to sweep a weighted leg with the hip and butt as usual , then try it again with pointing toes, flexing ankle and the bend of the knee -- what do you notice?
