Cheng Osoto (27/8/17)



Cheng Xunzhao of China shocked everyone at Rio 2016 with his osoto-gari done from an ippon-seoi-nage grip, throwing Iliadis (GRE), Toth (HUN) and Nyman (SWE) with this technique. Actually this technique has been around for ages and is something ippon-seoi-nage specialists use from time to time but it was Cheng's successful use of it at Rio 2016 and later at the 2017 Paris Grand Slam that really popularized it. We worked on this technique during Sunday's training session.
