Techniques for recreational players (Tachi-Waza)

There are supposed to be 67 Throws of Kodokan Judo. However, many of the throws are variations of the same basic throw and some throws are almost never seen in competition or randori. So, I've weeded out quite a few of them.

Below are the throwing techniques that I will be teaching the absolute beginners:

Ippon-Seoi-Nage
Deashi-Barai
Ouchi-Gari
Osoto-Gari
Ogoshi
Tani-Otoshi

If they stay in judo long enough to get past those first six techniques, the next six I will teach (in the medium term) are:

Morote-Seoi-Nage
Sasae-Tsuri-Komi-Ashi
Kouchi-Gari
Kosoto-Gari
Koshi-Guruma
Tomoe-Nage

And if they hang around long enough to master the first 12 techniques, they will get to learn the more difficult throws:

Tai-Otoshi
Uchimata
Sode-Tsuri-Komi-Goshi
Harai-Goshi
Ura-Nage
Sumi-Gaeshi
