if you want to practice correct tai otoshi: insist on breaking the balance then drop suddenly your body, at the same time turn and use your hands/arms to guide the throw. with maximum pull and off balance there should be no contact between your leg and the partner's. this is the ideal tai otoshi, in practice (randori or shiai) you will need to hit/sweep your opponent's shin with your calf so he's only standing in one leg with no possible resistance and your turn will throw him. also in practice you will add makikomi that is will turn a lot almost looking at the roof to roll on the opponent/mat
Another excellent video, subscribed.
Real black belts with knowledge and sense. I'm impressed, as many black belts don't have this forethought.
thank you for the kind words
