[SARAHBBRIGHT]

that seems to throw ever so hard!

[glassman530]

very useful, thank you

[Ownedyou]

REALLY excessive description... Focus on throw basics before going in to potential mistakes and how opponent counters it.

[MrKotaro100]

thanks i was looking for this for a long time

[Pogenkohl]

very good explanation. i use sumi otoshi and uki otoshi very often in randori and they really work when you have good timing. you must break uke's balance, so that he has his weight on one foot and then throw with a whiplike pull and a push in a direction where he is weak.

btw this is still the best instruction i have ever seen on throws of this principle :-)

A friend asked me to look here, and the person who noted that the judo sumi otoshi is much like the aikido kuki nage is correct. Actually, one who tries sumi like this video will have a hard time in scoring: this is straight line, and aikido is circular. The trick of throwing with sumi in randori is to induce him to move around the point of the circle you represent. When he moves clockwise - to your left and around you, you throw to his right corner. Sorry - not enough space here to explain.

you cant get a better explanation then this....again as a baseline teaching. Of course the only way you can adjust this to your own repetoire is trial and error during randori. Great job on video

[Derukugi2]

Can someone highlight the difference between this and kuki-nage?

One of the things I was saying about this throw is using it in combination with Ouchi and Kouchi. Like all backwards throws when your opponent thinks that they have avoided the sweep they will usually try and use your forward momentum for a reversal. The dropping motion of Sumi O protects you from the reversal and more often then not their own momentum from their attempted reversal is carrying them right towards the corner all youve got to do is rise and push.
