definitely. there are 8 directions of offbalance, try to become proficient in one technique for each direction. kazushi is everything.


but that wasn't so great because it was judo and rear mount doesn't count for anything.
unless you can get the tap before you guys get stood back up.

Uchi comi (spelling?)

I only did ogoshi to try to get good at it. We could have done more throws during this practice if we wanted to. To improve my ogoshi I need to: Pull while stepping, remember to look at my watch (left hand) so that I'm pulling high enough, step both legs streight in between their legs, get low-my butt should be on their thigh. Then we did 10 actual throws.
It should be on the outside of the thigh for this throw. Don't forget to get your hip outside of them.
