Throws and groundwork transitions

Learnt at a club

Ready when: First falls, throws and holds, with a coach (b4) done.

Before you look for a club

What the coach teaches

The big outer reap once the falls are solid, then the small and big inner reaps; the lifting-pulling hip throw and the shoulder throw; repetition on a still partner, then moving 1 or 2 steps; throw-to-hold transitions; holding and escaping under set conditions; grips (kumi-kata).

At home, safe only

Judo games at home: tail tag and the mirror (b1) to Bowing, the belt and the words (b3); the mirror game.

Ask the club

The grading syllabus used and the order of throws.

What you can see from the side

The thrower stands firm and pulls the sleeve so the partner lands safely.

Self-check what the coach confirms

The instructor passes the grade's throws.

Stop and get a coach when

A hard fall or a partner mismatch in size.
