Judo bros, i want your opinion on this. I, like many beginner judokas had trouble with making osoto work. Even after learning more practical ways to do it lik focusing on head control with a clothesline/chin push and trowing diagonally and planting my right fott instead of sweeping before rotating/squatting like osoto otoshi i still didn't feel very secure while doing it because it leaves you open while you're following with your trailing/reaping leg if opponent is pushing back. I've even tried to do it without a reaping leg like sumi otoshi as a safer attack, although i'm not strong enough to make powerful sudden jerking motion to make it work.And then i stumbled on a collar and elbow wrestling video and noticed a certain way they do a throw in that direction. It's called twist over the knee and it's sort of like sumi otoshi except you step around them instead of behind them and block their knee with yours while pulling them back and to the side. When i tried it it struck me as a very intuitive motion that i've actually already done before against some left handed guys without realizing it. It also worked well for me as a "grinding" type of throw where even if i don't immediately get it i can still drag the opponent into it if i maintain my footing and position. I've found out the same throw also exists in other wrestling styles, including backhold, mongolian and okinawan belt wrestling. Here's a video demonstrating it:www.youtube.com/watch?v=300RhmgoE3II've also found that it's useful as a setup throw to get the opponent off balance for other throws similar to a kouchi gari that attacks the opponent's front foot squaring them up, the throw that i also struggled with. A typical competition style osoto without stepping forward with the left leg doesn't help with that and is more of a makikomi type of throw.So my question is, why isn't this throw more common in judo? Is there any reason we hardly see it done? Have you ever done or experienced it?
