Judo question

[STR33T GUY]

Why don’t you see single and double leg take-downs in Judo? Not that I’m complaining, I’m just curious.

[Gumbi]

In judo, the idea is to get a perfect throw to get a full point and win the match (pinning can do this as well).

 

There are lesser points given out for throws/takedowns which do not meet the criteria for a perfectly executed throw. One of them is that your opponent HAS to land on his back.

 

Doubles and singles are relatively easy to turn out of and land on your stomach, and I believe that if you grab a leg for a single, you've only got so much time to execute a move before you have to release the grip.

 

Although I think the European style of Judo is pretty interesting- they use alot of pickups and when they dump their opponent, they do so on his back.

Judo has the double leg, it's called morote gari.

[SevenStar]

as he said, judo's morote gari is a double leg. kuchiki taioshi may be viewed as a type of single leg, but you don't shoot for it. When someone attempts certain sweeps, you can use your leg to lift theirs. catch that leg in your arm and sweep them. Actually, I guess it would be more of a leg pick than a single leg.

 

gumbi is right also. european guys are notorious for use of pickups, as are russians. I use them alot, but that's because they suit my body type.

[Gunyo Kogusoku]

Kodokan Judo have several leg pick ups.

 

Morote Gari - Double handed reap (A shoot)

 

Kuchiki Taoshi - Dropping the dead tree (single leg with a chest push, done standing)

 

Kata Ashi Dori - Single leg takedown (Another shoot)

 

Sukui Nage - Scooping throw (Done by entering from the side)

 

Kibisu Gaeshi - Step reverse (A technique where you grab the opponent's ankle and push on his knee or thigh while dropping to your knee.)

 

There are more variations, but these are the ones used most commonly.

Thanks for posting back guys.

 

Judo sounds better than I thought and I thought that it was good to begin with.

you dont see these in the matches often because these are also the easiest throws to counter

[SevenStar]

single and double leg aren't necessarily easy to counter.

 

as for kuchiki taioshi, I don't attack with it - I only use it as a counter.

[Kreisi]

well i don't either attack with kuchiki taioshi. i also use it mostly as a counter.
