The big clue is in how the legs move; the leg sweeps/ steps backward. In brush knee you step forward, how can it possibly map onto osoto gari - well, it doesn't. Not really, but that's never stopped people making this stuff up as they go along..
Maarten, just learn the English names.
Wouldn't you say that using a Japanese name and telling me to learn English names in one post is setting double standards???
no I wouldn't, and if I have to explain myself you're simply not worth the bother.
here the empty flower is ...
discussion about throws as the application for long TJ form/s/ I found always extremely funny -attitude from young days , probably.
Simple - you never get it doing the form.
Learning here is done by heavy work with the partners, form you can use for polishing , entrancing spiritual level etc.
Don`t know how it is done in tradition of SC /John?/, `cause I came from judo, were after basic body training / 6 - 12 months/ you`re starting partner work with all that jazz. Some schools starts even earlier - just when the greenhorns grabs the break falls basic .
back to the topic,:
Lokin` on the Maarten body build - you shoud go for all kind of sweps/hooks - inner, outer , big ones like :
O soto gari
, Uchi mate, Harai and Hane goshi. You may find Tai O toshi /throw by lowering the body/ handy too.
