I've attended a few Judo lessons now, enough to know that I really enjoy the sport, but not nearly enough to really start developing some throws. So I was really pleased with today's lesson as I had the opportunity to work on one particular throw, Morote Seoi Nage.
To my surprise I actually took the mechanics of the throw rather well. Morote Seoi Nage translates to 'two arm shoulder throw', the below video was a good find as not only does it illustrate the throw, it also provides some really useful hints and tips.
Now the one problem I did have with this throw is due to my height, I'm 6"2 and the throw works best if you place your hips below your opponents. Most of the guys in the class are not as tall as me, so this does present a problem, but I'm sure I'll have lots of fun trying to figure out how to pull it off!
