never really tired this throw till we went over it in judo last night...it looks like the uke could land in side control? thoughts? what make this throw work?
being good at it is what makes it work. i hate to sound that way.. but really, what makes it work is the same that makes any throw work.. good timing, positioning, kuzushi and follow-through.
I saw a guy at the Nationals in Mastersage group around 50 do this to his opponent and almost 'killed' him. The suddeness and no really way to breakfall will shake you up. I see beginners do a version of this all the time. But theirs is more like uki waza
