Throwing Progression

Today in kid’s class we took a look at the new requirements and just went down the line with throws.  We started with Randori position – that was simple, then moved to the push pull game, O Soto Gari and finally finished with a double leg takedown.

While the position was simple enough for the students, everything else is (as all techniques are) a work in progress.  The goal is to start the grappling section of tournaments from standup so that students can throw one another.  We’re not there yet, but it is good to know where the ship is heading.
