Craig Fallon – Seoi Otoshi – Arms and legs | SUPERSTAR JUDO

in this clip we look at Craig Fallon's arm and leg movement for his C atashi Fallon has two different sleeve grip variations depending on the positioning of his opponent if the opponent is close to him these are his preferred grips and Kazushi after his lapel feed his right hand cups his opponent's elbow pushing down and then pulling in this movement right is key to breaking the opponent's balance and creating the opportunity for the CEO Tashi you if however there's a bigger gap between Fallon and the opponent this is the sleeve grip he opts for this time he's under the elbow and gripping the jacket he pulls outwards on the sleeve to break balance and then pulls down as he steps in with the SIA Tashi in addition to speed of attack from lapel feed Fallon's leg movement is the other big surprise element to his sea atashi his two-step movement is designed to bring the opponent's with him before he attacks but he never quite completes the second step with his left foot just as he's about to complete the second step his left steps straight across for the sea atashi with his knee coming down to the mat at the same time as he's doing this he pivots on his right foot jumping in and coming down to a right angle this leaves him in a strong position where he can drive upwards from his left foot and finish the throw
