Kaeshi-waza: Mongolia’s 2009 World Champion Tsagaanbaatar Khashbaatar leads an all-star cast in this ground-breaking coaching book on judo’s counter-attacks
About this ebook
Khashbaatar deliberately provokes his opponents into attacking with Ashi-waza so that he can turn their techniques against them. His Ko-uchi-gaeshi and O-uchi-sukashi are two of the most unusual and spectacular techniques ever seen in judo.
Khashbaatar is joined by Great Britain’s Euan Burton, who teaches O-soto-gaeshi, and Udo Quellmalz, who prefers Ko-soto-gaeshi.
Germany’s Ole Bischof and Mongolia’s Amartuvshin Dashdavaa reveal their amazing ‘Russian arm’ Kaeshi-waza, with Japan’s Toshihiko Koga and France’s Dimitri Dragin showing how to counter Drop-seoi-nage with either Ura-nage or Sumi-gaeshi.
Uchi-mata counter-attacks are presented by Burton, Korea’s Ki-young Jeon, Japan’s Kosei Inoue, and Mark Huizinga of the Netherlands – whose Uchi-mata-sukashi sequence concludes the book.
Throwing descriptions and tuition are accompanied by incredible photographic sequences, with the key technical moments highlighted. Many of the images are shown for the first time and come from Fighting Films’ vast photograph archive.
Fighting Films has been closely working alongside the world’s greatest judoka for over 30 years. Throwing for Ippon is the first project where all of this international technical expertise is compiled in one place.
Presented by Superstar Judo, Fighting Films’ online coaching subscription site, the techniques can also be viewed in video format by clicking on a QR code at either the start or end of each book. The author is Fighting Films partner Danny Hicks, who was IJF TV Director from 2009-2017.
This guide is an essential for all judoka. Whether you just want to learn the basics of a throw or be inspired by numerous different variations from the world’s best, Throwing for Ippon reveals the techniques that are proven to work at the very highest level.
