As somebody whose main throw is yoko wakare (although a pretty different variation from the one shown in the video, involving a lot more spin), that's absolutely not true. In the rare cases that my yoko wakare gets blocked, I just land on stomach. It's never once been countered in a way that resulted in me conceding a score. It's probably the safest throw I have ever tried executing.
This counter throw is sick.
Hello, does someone remember the name of the first throw in the video ?
yokowakari is very dangerous on the tori...better do ude gaeshi for self-defense ...is better..
