The purpose of this CZcams channel is to pass on the original, traditional, authentic Kodokan Judo that Riki sensei loves so much. Riki sensei's students maintain this CZcams channel (and are responsible for any errors), but you can find more of his thoughts at the Riki Judo Dojo Facebook page: / riki-judo-dojo-usa-194... 18
Oh man, this is the best channel I've found by far. Great info, great stories, great personality. Thank you Sensei, domo arrigato.
Thanks so much, John! We've all gotten so much from Riki sensei's teachings, and this channel is a passion project to preserve them for posterity. Please help us share!
I agree John!
Very good information explained well. People either forget pushing with the entry foot or are never taught that.
I learned to add to the kuzushi by doing a double hammer curl with uke to help them over while applying the other foot as a fulcrum. You don't have to enter as deep dynamically if you can use uke's forward movement(assuming they are moving forward).
Kuzushi is as always extremely important. I will never forget the first time I attempted Tomoe nage. I was 5' 7" 140# and my partner was 6' 10" 300#. I grabbed both lapels and put my foot in his stomach and learned back. He just stood there with me hanging off of him looking stupid. Sensei was right there and told me to stay like that. He then stopped the whole class and told them that THIS is why kuzushi is so important!😂
It can't be over-emphasized!
Another amazing video! Thanks
Thank you Jake, we truly do appreciate the support!
A great video to show the waza. I really appreciate the knowledge around what the Uke should be doing during the technique. Thank you for another great video
Thanks Michael!
Great demonstration and technique.
Thanks Kevin!
👌👌👍👍👏👏
Thanks Lucas, we really do appreciate the support!
Thank you for the lesson, sensei. The explanation of the finer points of the waza, how to be a good uke, and historical background are greatly appreciated.
Thanks for watching, please help us spread Riki sensei's teachings far and wide!
Thank you for the instruction! I recently took up Judo again and this was one of my favoriete throws back then 10 years ago. Havent had the opertunity to practise it yet since its always a bit crowded but will surley do when i get an oppertunity!
We appreciate the support!
Bonsoir messieurs super technique merci pour la vidéo bonne courage
Merci beaucoup!
I love, love, love your channel. This video could not come at a more opportune time for me - I have been struggling with tomoe nage (judo, hiza, and atemi kubi) for MONTHS.
We've been taking videos of each other trying to work it out, and even though I can throw OKish, it doesn't feel right yet. I'm now pretty certain that my uke is not coming with me, and I see from this video that your uke are further forward and over the top of you. You don't talk about lifting/pulling uke (so that his shoulders remain over yours) although it shows Kashiwazaki doing so at 0:44, and other instructional videos do - is this what to do if uke resists?
Cheers, Jonathan
Thanks so much Jonathan! We really do appreciate the support. The channel has come a long way for sure, and there's still lots of videos planned!
I don't want to put words in Riki sensei's mouth, but he's always telling us that you have to adapt your judo to fit your needs (the bowl analogy). Could it be that you're not dropping straight down enough, and going too far to the rear? Uke will have a much tougher time resisting when you're directly under him or her.
Maybe it's time for a backup plan? Riki sensei always encourages us to chain together as many techniques as we can remember. Perhaps you can start with a technique that's likely to get uke leaning forward already, and have tomoe-nage ready if the first one fails? Maybe your uke isn't very comfortable with the ukemi and is hesitating? Good luck!
@@RikiDojoUSA Thank you very much - such a prompt and very helpful reply. I know that I was guilty of not dropping correctly, but have pretty much fixed that, more or less. My usual training partner is a little hesitant, so I think I need to be a little more authoritative with kazushi.
Again, I just love the training vibe your dojo has - you have a wonderful leader in Riki sensei. Until next time, J.
I admit Tomoe-mage is not one of my favorite throws-I have always been iffy about the sutemi-waza because they involve knowingly placing myself in a vulnerable position on the ground. That said I do hugely appreciate Riki-sensei’s description of the jujutsu-era version of Tomoenage. While I myself may not favor it, I have students who probably will. So I owe it to them to be knowledgeable about the history and proper methodology of the waza so I may be able to pass it on. This video helps to do exactly that. Domo arigatou!🥋🙏
Thank you Jun, glad to hear it!
Regarding Riki-sensei’s concluding comments: at the risk of betraying my shameful ignorance, may I know the actual correct English translation for the word “JU”?🥋🙏
Flexible!
@@RikiDojoUSA Got it! Many, many thanks.🥋🙂
