Or anyone!

How does he make this throw work?

What is he doing with his foot to capture his opponent's foot?

Seems like he's using a combination of capturing the foot & pressing down on his partner towards the captured foot to make it hard for him to step back and escape when he uses his forward step with the left foot to push him off balance.

And he lifts the guy as he sweeps.

Cool throw.

Tim do you think this would be a hard throw to pull off on someone of equal size or larger or is it still mostly a matter of timing .

Sweet throw!
Jake

I'll try it tonight, thanks for sharing.

seems like the leg trap is the key

Seems like his size is the key.

How would one get this throw no gi? I get something similar every now and then, but my timing and setup are off I am sure. I try to time my students stepping with the sweep, and concern myself little with grips. Or simply have one hand at the nape of the neck, and the other turn their arm a bit.
Thanks

Jake,

The way I came upon this is through my study of Sasae Tsuri-Komi Ashi or a "post": http://youtube.com/watch?v=HVeE2mcOin0. It's a basic throw. But my focus is no-gi and clinch. For the last couple weeks, I've been teaching my police officers and MMA fighters this tactic.

First I teach them from an extended range, wrist grab, then double bicep, then collar and elbow, then from the Muay thai plum and lastly from the over and under.

I haven't gotten this unique throw down yet, but I'm trying it from all the same grips as Sasai.

I think it would work against someone larger, but because of the lifting component, I think it would be quite a bit easier to execute if you could grab the cloth.

It will be interesting to see what Backarcher comes up with no-gi.

i've seen some adapt closer underhooks (think wizzer) and posting up under the arm-pit.

as far as his basic version and variation;

the basic idea is drawn from these concepts;

most notably;
http://www.judoinfo.com/images/animations/blue/haraitsurikomiashi.htm

much of his lift comes not from his huge weight advantage, but the manipulation of reaction;
he pulls the elbow in and down, and draws the opponent forward and down. Naturally, uke attempts to regain his posture by pulling up and back. This motion is amplified by the lifting on the jacket and the retreating foot is followed and swept.

Without magnificent timing, excellent grips and good strength, this would be tough to apply in randori, but against a more 'spazzy' opponent, this might work well, as you need uke's help to throw him. Typically, reactionary, physical or new practitioners can be thrown with set ups such as these.

Have to disagree, Jason.

I'm not anyone special but I drilled it and was able to pull it off live. It's now an element of my foot tactic toolbox.

It's not as difficult as it seems.

My BJJ coach is 150 compared to my 230, and he can lift and throw me with ease with these types of throws.
Jake

These throws are not "lifting" throws. They are simple post and sweeps.

Wow...230lbs?

You are solid!

""Typically, reactionary, physical or new practitioners can be thrown with set ups such as these.""

were some of my exact words. you're success merely indicates that you've developed the kind of timing and sensitivity to balance that comes with years on the mat.

As an aggressive offensive technique I had trouble with this, but not when I set it up like he did.

I have a tendency to 'rest' my foot on top of my opponents if they are too evasive ( i train at a college club often, with lots of new white belts who are afraid to engage ) in order to simply keep them in range. When they pull their foot out from underneath mine they are easy pray for this throw.

I however would not suggest this technique for someone without grappling experience, as I feel timing and sensitivity are pre-requisite to success.

in summation, I think we DO agree backarcher- though i will say this; of all the millions of judo comp videos out there, you will have trouble finding a good video of this throw (it's how old? scores koka/yuko) where as more approachable techniques that rely less on the mistakes of your opponents; Uchimata, seoi nage... there are HUNDREDS of videos of these.

you're original question was 'how does this work'? i just hope that my first response, with links and mechanics was helpful.

BA-
By "lifting" I mean the little uprooting action (sort of like shaking out a rug) that this guys did. Is there a technical name for it?
Thanks
Jake

I would venture a guess that this falls under Kazushi?
Jake

Here's what I do for no-gi kuzushi, if anyone's still interested.

Many wrestlers are intent on pulling your head down. While they are doing this, keep your head up, and bring your hips as close to your oppt's body as possible, which should also bring them directly under your shoulders. Moving forward also shift's your opponent's balance, and the rest of the throw is simply timing.
