Current Class Concept: De ashi barai
This month we will be focusing on de ashi and it's timing, moving in various directions as well as how we can use it to set up other throws and takedowns. For example, de ashi barai to the single leg, o soto gari, or any turn throw. I think this is a fitting way to wrap up the year since we can use de ashi to set up the many techniques we have learned throughout the year!
Video Study
In this highlight of Fabio Basile, you can observe how he combines de ashi and his kata guruma and other turn throws while moving laterally.
Check out Keiji Suzuki, the current Japanese national team coach, hitting a legendary combination ending with a de ashi barai.
Right vs left, or Kenka Yotsu, de ashi by Angelica Delgado.
The above three study examples are only a few of many, many out there. I encourage you to look for more!
