  • thanks for the feedback!

  • 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?

  • 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.
