If this were judo, you'd have a point. No Jitsu ashi guruma is done face to face. http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/what-is-jitsu/techniques/throws/full-list/osotootoshi-major-outer-drop.php#comment-22 Thu, 08 May 2008 21:41:18 +0000 http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/what-is-jitsu/techniques/throws/full-list/osotootoshi-major-outer-drop.php#comment-22 The nage no kata remains the same as in judo since that's the original "guidance book". But the throw entries are different, typically from a punch, so the throws themselves are typically modified either slightly or a lot (although sometimes not at all). And various instructors teach the throws slightly differently, according to preference, tradition and more. I've seen upwards of four different ashi gurumas for example. There's the British Jiu Jitsu Association to which all Jiu Jitsu styles in the UK affiliate (that I know of), but each style teaches the throws differently and with its own variations. The World Jiu Jitsu Federation, for example, straightens legs midway through throws when we keep ours bent - but that's a minor difference. http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/what-is-jitsu/techniques/throws/full-list/osotootoshi-major-outer-drop.php#comment-21 Thu, 08 May 2008 15:23:12 +0000 http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/what-is-jitsu/techniques/throws/full-list/osotootoshi-major-outer-drop.php#comment-21 Hi, where do you get your throw classifications from. I see names that I recognise and the nage no kata looks throw for throw the same as that of Judo, but many of the techniques appear to be different.For example your videos of Osoto otoshi appear to be what I would know as Osoto gari. Gari being to reap. Otoshi would be to drop and is usually seen with the action foot placed on the ground. Is there a global governing body for Jitsu? Or a Japanese umbrella organisation that issues rank/ guidance? http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/who-are-we/club-instructors/mat-phillips.php#comment-20 Thu, 08 May 2008 15:10:34 +0000 http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/who-are-we/club-instructors/mat-phillips.php#comment-20 Friend, thats no ashi guruma I've ever seen. Ashi guruma is foot or ankle wheel. You made contact with your hips/back/shoulder etc. Your throw was a dodgy Seoi nage. Ashi guruma is carried out face to face. http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/who-are-we/club-instructors/#comment-19 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:26:50 +0000 http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/who-are-we/club-instructors/#comment-19 You pay for each session you attend.

I'll update the gradings with the right schedule - thanks for that - and the regional courses suggestion is a good idea, so I'll add that in when I have a moment. Thanks for taking the time to look through it all: much appreciated! http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/suggestions.php#comment-7 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 11:29:33 +0000 http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/suggestions.php#comment-7 Hi Rob, haven't been through the whole thing yet, but here are a couple of things I spotted. The photos with the belts - the purple belt is missing, I suspect that's because you found this photo somewhere. Gradings are every 3 months not every 4 months. Do you want to mention the various type of regional courses run in London?

Known as the inner thigh (obvious) the tori must remember to keep their sweeping leg up for about 2-3 seconds, otherwise they become entangled with the uke and lose their balance. http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/what-is-jitsu/techniques/throws/full-list/kataguruma-shoulder-wheel.php#comment-4 Tue, 02 Jul 2002 02:21:22 +0000 http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/what-is-jitsu/techniques/throws/full-list/kataguruma-shoulder-wheel.php#comment-4 Kata Garuma. The B**tard mother of all throws. Essentially should be done with a straight back and the movement of the hips from one side to another. Realistically, most people decide to bend their backs and lob them onto the floor. Found in the Te Waza (third set) of Naga no Kata where uke has to roll out of the technique. This basically requires Tori to bend their knees and to release the sleeve grip so that uke can roll clear thus creating embu. A throw hated by many and loved by so few. LIKE THIS THROW? TRY TE GARUMA/URA NAGE/ SOTO MAKIKOME
