Favourite throw

[dingyuan]

you think it's easy to execute? in competition? I've found that in competition, it's rather hard to pull off - almost impossible - unless you do it in an unorthodox manner, such as angling across them and attacking the opposite leg, as opposed to the normal straight forward variation.

 

Yeah, you are right, the big outer rip looks cool but it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to use it in real life or in competition.

Go to Chinese Martial art, you will find a topic there.

the only way i can throw someone down with O SOTO GARI is to quickly pull them to towards me so there only balancing on 1 leg.

 

Other than that its impossible for me to pull off. people just move too quickly otherwise

If you really think about it most throws have to be done in a somewhat unorthodox method with the possible exception of seoi nage and tai otoshi. I'm talking about in live randori with someone who knows what they are doing of course. They certainly don't look as beautiful as they do when demonstrating on uke.

Harai Goshi, O Soto Gari, and Kata Guruma are three of my favorites.

[Fu Man]

Osoto Gari, Ippon Seoi Nage and Tai Otoshi are my favorite throws.

Arm drag ---> tani otoshi. I don't consider it a throw but it's my favorite way of taking someone down.

[GhostlySykanRyu]

Can't pick just one...

Morote Seoi Nage

O Soto Guruma

Tai Otoshi

Tomoe Nage

Sede Tsurikomi Goshi

I don't know if this counts, but a good double leg take down; if you get it deep enough and fast enough, makes a great throw right on to their back.
