From Russia with 2 on 1's

This week we'll work the russian back grip, and the 2 on 1 a little.

Both are 'unorthodox' grips that you cannot hold for long without an attack in the IJF, but are perfectly legal in other forms of grappling, namely Sambo...

Here's Harai MakiKomi, as easy one to set up from the Russian back grip:



And here's Yoko Wakare, or the 'Arm Throw' or 'Arm Spin' in Folkstyle:


This Wednesday we'll work on how to set up these grips and these throws, amongst others...

See you there!

Also notice that uke's breakfall is practically non-existent in the first video (he dangerously tries to post his arm).
