15-minute run, eight pull-ups. Also took some falls for the guy, so he could work on his tai otoshi.
Hardwood floors are hard, and that’s a fast throw. You just get whipped over a leg, unlike something like ippon seoinage, in which you at least get the time in which it takes to be hauled over a shoulder to react. So, maybe I should get a mat for home, if he doesn’t quit in a month.
I found it weird that they were teaching tai otoshi to kids because it’s mechanically trickier than seoinage or o-goshi or any other the other heavy body contact throws. People that can do it seem like wizards because there’s so little body contact. Just wrist, lapel, and shins.
Now that I think about it, low body contact throws are a good fit for classes in which all of the kids are different sizes. And they all seemed to get it.
