- A low risk, high reward throw for competition. Key points: getting a solid over under position, pushing in and getting your opponent to push back, dropping your butt down and to the side (not straight back!), and placing the back of your knee on top of your opponent's foot - although you can also block with your foot a la sasae tsurikomi ashi.

Nice! Always fun practicing sacrifice throws. I always get launched with Tomoe Nage 😂 I like Yoko Wakare variation
Nice video, but I'm struggling to see how the clip from your comp was only a wazari! Nice technique!
Grindgodgrind thanks! It was fast but only one of his shoulders hit the mat, so a good call by the ref. Fortunately this technique leaves you in a great position for a pin, so I was able to finish the match.
Yeah, I see it now. I've never wrestled, but I am a big fan of the Georgian/Mongolian/Kazakh/etc judoka who often utilize that kind of grip strategy. I'll give it a shot!
It's not called yoko otoshi or yoko wakare. That's an uki waza because you are throwing your opponent forward. And yoko wakare is a different kind of sacrifice throw, generally with both of your feet together, not split apart like that
All those things you wrote are true
I know this is adapted to judo, but I'm not quite sure why the judo adaptation drops the butt in a seated position and goes for a trip with the leg. Why is this preferable to loading the opponent up onto your hips and arching your back--the way Cary Kolat shows since you referenced him.
I don't see an advantage to doing it the way that you're saying, but I don't know the rules of judo very well. However, it seems to me that it would be difficult to score an ippon with the way you're doing it, where it would be very possible to score an ippon the way that Kolat shows.
There's lots of ways to finish it, the way you describe would be good too. I've found this way - more of a sacrifice throw - to be effective and low effort.
Its like drop sesae right?
yup, very much!
Looks more like uki waza
Nice work Jonah but LOL at the guy walking across the mat with a water bottle. Do you normally allow students to walk on the mats with water? Water + Foam = Bad Results
Judo Chop Suey Podcast haha true but this was after class, and also as you can see the mats go all the way to the wall so there's no other way to go.
I can't lie man, the lateral drop isn't really a "low risk" throw 😅
How do you figure? Do you mean for wrestling or judo?
The judoka clearly stated, it is essential that the opponent pushes back on tori in order to execute a yoko otoshi (lateral drop). He finished by stating if the opponent doesn't push back then this throw will not work. That's how it is a low risk throw
@@moefinesse9878 it's a high risk throw
Yeah aren’t most if not all sacrifice throws high risk?
the technique you demonstrated is called uki waza and not yoko otoshi nor yoko wakare. Also, very similar to the principle of uki waza of nage no kata.
absolutely it is closest to a uki waza + a foot block. Yoko otoshi throws someone to his sides, not forward like shown in your video, also it looks more like a lateral tani otoshi than what the west would call a "lateral" drop even though yoko otoshi literally translates to side/lateral drop. Yoko wakare has the tori place his feet way outside next to uke's feet.
edit: uki waza is the best judo term for a western lateral drop, although yoko guruma would also fit the description
