Toshihiko Koga teaches Tai-otoshi method [English subtitles] 古賀稔彦が教える体落【#11】JUDO

体落 / Tai-otoshi
相四つ / Aiyotsu (Same grip used by both person)
古賀稔彦 / Toshihiko Koga

One leg is extended outward and is used as the fulcrum over which to topple the opponent.
The use of the Tsurite (Lifting hand) is of particular importance in this Waza. Tori (Player executing technique) Tsurite (Lifting hand) grasps Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) lapel area, and then lifts Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) with elbow extended outward. As the lift is applied, Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) heels lift off the floor, making him easier to pull. Although the Tai-otoshi is frequently used in both men’s and women’s competition, it is also known as a Choshi-waza (Timing technique) where light-footed motion is critical, and is therefore most often seen in contests between two small-statured combatants.
