No-Gi Tani-Otoshi - Break your opponents Balance & not his Leg

The Tani-Otoshi is one of the first Takedowns I teach for No-Gi and Self Defense. However, it is also a very dangerous move if applied in a wrong way. I don’t watch those videos, but I know YouTube is full of videos showing how people badly injure their legs from the Tani-Otoshi. In this video I will teach you the details about the No-Gi Version of this Takedown and I will also explain how to prevent injuries when taking someone down.

I saw a judoka teaching this in kids class completely fuck up the knee of his teen uke. Love that you cover that aspect in this video.
