Wastelander Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Well, I have trained in judo, not BJJ, but the BJJ people that I have grappled with have a tendency to grab me and pull guard or immediately shoot for double- or single-leg takedowns. When they don't get those, they tend to have a rather bent-over posture that lines them up perfectly for a side-step uchi-mata or a tai otoshi. As I said, though, I don't train in BJJ and I don't grapple with BJJ people on a regular basis, so take my advice on this with a grain of salt. If a side-step uchi-mata or a tai otoshi will work for you, then use it, and if not, don't .

Wastelander Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Ushi mata would be and tai otoshi but what is the side step? Normally, when you do uchi-mata, your body is in front of the person you are throwing. When you do tai otoshi, your body is slightly to the side of the person you are throwing. A side-step uchi-mata is, basically, doing an uchi-mata from the same place you would do a tai otoshi. There is a little more to it than that when it comes to how you use your arms, but it works well on bent-over people. It should land you in their half-guard.

Double Leg2. Tai Otoshi3. Duck under and spin down 4. Single Leg5. Uchi mataIt was a good mix of judo moves and wrestling moves "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
