Fantastic. IMO, this type of Judo instruction is really lacking. 99.99% of the time you will see instructors provide a "recipe" for a technique. "Do this, then this, then he falls." Next to never does the instruction get into the principles of why and how the technique works. Without that, a true understanding of the technique is not conveyed. Thank you for your efforts in growing judo.
@@TravisStevensgrappling You are much appreciated! Ive been training for 4.5 years now, tried various coachs, but they dont give the details like you do. I have learnt more from your videos than anyone in person and anyone online
And this example you used, its kinda weird for senseis that do that, because its totally contrary on what judo is, since the principle of judo is to understand how and why a technique work, so we can use it in a more efficient way.
@@TravisStevensgrappling He's so right. For some reason Judo seems incapable of speaking about it's own principles and meta game the way bjj does, at least at the recreational level and on the internet. The best you can google is a generic description of of various country's Judo, ie "Georgians use wrestling". can't wait to get on the mats again and have this in mind, and when i'm moving my opponent about i have an actual purpose to visualise beyond just shaking the other guy until instinct tells me i should go for something
Thanks for the video ! I liked the use of the belts to show the positioning of tori. A couple of remarks for tori: 1) There might be a first slight/strong pull of the right hand forward to induce uke reaction backward precisely to create the opportunity for osoto gari, else the move is telegraphed and lives him opened for a counter. 2) Tori left arm needs to move a lot more in a curve motion moving to the back and finish with uke's arm towards his own belt. 3) Tori's left should be less "opened" to his left, but rather "closed" to his right inducing uke's fall in his 12th hour (using the clock positioning) 4) attention on tori's hips to actually give a whiplash on uke forcing the backward fall, using that kinetic energy more efficiently.
Great teaching tools Travis! Keep em coming! I'm still working on my Moroto Sieo Nage you worked with us on a few months ago here in TN. I got my black belt a couple of weeks before your seminar and have now started teaching our lower belts including my youngest son. Your videos have been good for me to reference to being a new teacher. Thank you sir!
You just blew my mind with this quadrant tool you laid out. For the longest time I've struggled to understand how o soto worked. And why it wasn't working for me. But seeing this from the different angles you laid out explains so so much. Thank you for your time and knowledge. Also, your over hand grip escape technique worked flawlessly today for me against my sensei!. Granted he is 42 now, but still a high level international player at his prime. Felt totally hopeless when he got that top grip on me. But escaped 3 times today! Again, thank you.
As a BJJ guy, I really appreciate these detailed breakdowns of the fundamental Judo throws. It doesn't take a ton of advanced Judo to win most BJJ standups, fundamentals done well go a long way.
Wow, i had no idea how much this quadrant explanation can make so much sense!! Now I understand why I couldn't get my momentum to throw.... Thank you so much
Hello Prof/Sensei! This addresses my specific frustration with Judo. I've trained a traditional Jujitsu for some time, and can mostly execute the throws well in kata form. Translating it into randori is another story though. I'm experiencing something akin to having the perfect comeback 10 mins too late. This quadrant concept makes a lot of sense to me and I'm glad I found your channel! Thank you sir!
Thank you Travis, nobody explains it quite the way you do. And I've tried it out in uchi komi, feels very natural indeed. Can't wait for my next randori 😁
Oh wow. Sensational sensational sensational!!! I always feel like sometimes my osoto uchikomi is buttery and smooth in the right direction but sometimes its awkwardly angled. This really cleared it up perfectly can't wait to practice! Thank you
Your video is awesome! Event hough English is not my mother language but it's easy to understand and very useful! Thank you for teaching various things!
Awesome! Thank you! Make sure you checkout the memberships on USAJudo.com it's a platform that Jimmy and I run. A membership will get you access to all the American Judo System instructionals.
I'm not sure what you mean by far away from Japanese style. They teach it in japan the same way. Some competitors have variations of it but the basic principles are the same.
After starting Shotokan karate 20 years ago, it’s crazy to think that this throw is one of the REAL applications for all the “stepping in straight punches” we learned in the first 5 kata
Love to the videos. Me and my daughter started Judo last year (I've done BJJ but am a late starter for Judo). Daughter loves it and it is make her better at wrestling.
This is great - really useful. I've been able to execute O Soto but it's been hit and miss. I've realised my foot position/quadrant has been wrong and I've been focusing too much on directing diagonally. Thanks.
Thanks! I plan to take my first class soon. If you wanted to do the throw on the opposite side, do you need to change your grip? Or does it only work on that side with the standard grip?
Hey Travis that explanation was great. Would this be the same for Osoto Otoshi? Or do I go in more of a 45 degree angle to my left (his right quadrant) rather than straight behind him?
Phenomenal tutorial. So many instructors just show moves so it's nice to see someone breaking down the principles behind them, especially from a high-level perspective.
Very great, thank you. But can you explain the osotogari from ono please? The backstep and so... it give a Video Judo study ono osotogari, it was great, but i want it learn... can you help me? Thank you
isn't funny how the more time we spend coaching the more comfortable we are with moving ukes feet by slapping them gently with ours. It doesn't even register anymore :P p.s. this is an awesome lesson on basics
This is why I kept arguing that O Soto is not useless technique. Some coaches here saying O Soto is useless and can never be applied in competitions and there's only 1 direction to throw it. I beg to differ. Many Olympic and World champions use O Soto. In fact, O Soto is one of the most versatile waza in judo.
I think everyone is different! As a coach you're going to want all the cues and keep giving them to your students because you don't know which one will resonate with your athlete.
This guy deserves a raise. Best judo guy on RUclips for sure
He is simply a great judoka, in the Olympics he beat the invincible Georgian No. 1 at the time, he was undefeated

Thank you that means a lot. And I'm really glad you picked up on the understanding of the technique not just the steps.
You are 100% right

That's great. I'm glad you got it to work! With time and a few months of dedicated practice it will only get stronger.
I've seen a lot of Japanese tutorials use these kinds of diagrams (with tape on the mat). But well, they're in Japanese...
Thank you. I was never taught this throw, but the deep dive you've presented with such detail and precision makes me think I can give it go now.
As a BJJ guy, I really appreciate these detailed breakdowns of the fundamental Judo throws. It doesn't take a ton of advanced Judo to win most BJJ standups, fundamentals done well go a long way.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. While I’m not a judoka myself, you’re videos/tutorials have helped me be a good uke for my son. Thanks again.

Great. Wish I had this kind of training.
I couldnt for the life of me get osoto gari in randori, this has made it much clearer. Giving it a go tonight!
I’ve executed osoto Gari many times, but I believe my osoto gari will get even better after watching this video. Thank you Sensei @TravisStevens
Probably the best way to learn most throws. This is the gold dust I've been looking for.
Awesome!!!
love the grid explanation helps a lot
Excellent visual explanation. It would be good to show this quadrant system for other throws too. Thanks for the amazing instruction.
Excellent break down and illustration!!
Brilliant use of footwork for the Osoto Gari. Thanks, Travis.
Glad you liked it!
Really clear way to describe it using the qudrants
I learned way much more from this channel than in my judo club, thank you sir, greetings from Indonesia
Oh wow. Sensational sensational sensational!!! I always feel like sometimes my osoto uchikomi is buttery and smooth in the right direction but sometimes its awkwardly angled. This really cleared it up perfectly can't wait to practice! Thank you

Very interesting! Very scientific explanations! Thanks Travis!
You're, welcome Adi!
This is extremely helpful thanks champ 🙏🏾🥋
No problem!! I'm glad you find it helpful!
After starting Shotokan karate 20 years ago, it’s crazy to think that this throw is one of the REAL applications for all the “stepping in straight punches” we learned in the first 5 kata
Could you give an example with harai goshi or uchimata?
Yes I can add that to the list of things to shoot!
Love to the videos. Me and my daughter started Judo last year (I've done BJJ but am a late starter for Judo). Daughter loves it and it is make her better at wrestling.
That is awesome! Judo really helps kids who wrestle. Judo gives them better body awareness.
Brilliant !!! Travis Steven's!!!
Thank you.

WOW so good explained
Awesome, Professor! Thanks so much. Could you please do a video for tall guys against shorter opponents? 🤙🏻🥋😃💪🏻
I can try.
Perfect video, wish I could give a megalike
Awesome stuff!
This is so helpful, thank you !
Just awesome!
super! thank you !
Nice. Good on position and kuzushi.
Thank You!
Belt diagram.. I love it!
Thank you
Thank you.
Thanks, this is very cool!
I’m glad you like it!
Excelent coach
Oss sensei, muchas gracias.
Wow thankyou sir
Very good video
Hey travis what is your favorite throw or throws? I have recently started judo and noticed some throws just feel better for my body than others.
Thank you 👍
The STO (Space Tornado Ogawa)!
Hi Travis please can you upload a video of you doing randori with Rian Russo?
Thanks! I plan to take my first class soon. If you wanted to do the throw on the opposite side, do you need to change your grip? Or does it only work on that side with the standard grip?
Hey Travis that explanation was great. Would this be the same for Osoto Otoshi? Or do I go in more of a 45 degree angle to my left (his right quadrant) rather than straight behind him?
Perfect. love it.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. I truly hope it helps you learn.
@@TravisStevensgrappling a lot.perfect.
Phenomenal tutorial.
So many instructors just show moves so it's nice to see someone breaking down the principles behind them, especially from a high-level perspective.
I SUBSCRIBED U
very useful
Very great, thank you.
But can you explain the osotogari from ono please?
The backstep and so... it give a Video Judo study ono osotogari, it was great, but i want it learn... can you help me?
Thank you
isn't funny how the more time we spend coaching the more comfortable we are with moving ukes feet by slapping them gently with ours. It doesn't even register anymore :P
p.s. this is an awesome lesson on basics
So true.
When entering osoto the correct way dose it matter if I play around with pulling out or down with the sleeve hand?
The angle of the pull changes the balance point.
@@TravisStevensgrappling is one better then the other or is it good to play with different angles?
Bravo
Ty 🙏🙏🇬🇷
Are dropping techniques dangerous for the knees, drop seois specifically ?
Yes they are. Do not do them on randori on full speed. You better squat first so you don't fall from that high
This is why I kept arguing that O Soto is not useless technique.
Some coaches here saying O Soto is useless and can never be applied in competitions and there's only 1 direction to throw it.
I beg to differ. Many Olympic and World champions use O Soto. In fact, O Soto is one of the most versatile waza in judo.
Professor, do you think where you're looking at the finish is important? Do you look down at the floor, his butt, or to the diagonally to the left?
I think everyone is different! As a coach you're going to want all the cues and keep giving them to your students because you don't know which one will resonate with your athlete.
look at their head to follow up with an armbar - don't let go of the sleeve grip.
as a beginner, i feel like i just albert einsteined so thank you so very much!
