| Example of kenka-yotsu |
Yesterday, I taught four types of osoto-gari:
a) 3-step osoto
b) Ippon-osoto
c) Tenri-grip osoto
d) Osoto-makikomi
The first two (a) and (b) are done from a kenka-yotsu (opposite stance) situation and the last two are done from an ai-yotsu (similar stance) situation.
It's very important when teaching judo to emphasize what variations of a technique can be used in what situations. A technique that works well in a kenka-yotsu situation usually will not work well (or not work at all) in an ai-yotsu situation.
This is something I think about for every throw I teach.
