In judo, we all know what hold-downs (osaekomi) are and they are easy enough to learn and remember. The harder thing is to get into the hold down in the first place. When an opponent is in a turtle position, how do you roll them? Today, we will go through five competition-oriented turnovers.
Pinewood Roll
This is called the Pinewood Roll as it was popularized by the Pinewood Judo Club in the UK. In the clip below, we see Georgina Singleton, who trained at that club, doing a class example of the Pinewood Roll.
Funakubo Roll
Somewhat similar to the Pinewood Roll is the Funakubo Roll, named after Haruka Funakubo who is known for using it extensively in both domestic and international competitions. In this clip we see her using it in the recent 2018 Zagreb Grand Prix.
Matsumoto Roll
Although the Matsumoto Roll -- named after Olympic and double World Champion Kaori Matsumoto -- may at first glance look almost identical to the Funakubo Roll, the gripping situation is completely different. No one does it like Matsumoto.
Huizinga Roll
Olympic Champion Mark Huizinga is good at sankaku but when he can't get the yoko-sankaku on the head, he goes for the arm instead. His variation, now copied by many international athletes, is widely known as the Huizinga Roll.
Paischer Roll
Like Huizinga, Olympic Silver medallist Ludwig Paischer is good at sankaku but when he can't get the head, he goes for the arm. His roll is somewhat different from Huizinga's even though it involves using his legs to sankaku the arm as well.
