Sasae-tsurikomi-ashi, Hiza-guruma & Harai-tsurikomi-ashi: One of the world’s leading technical coaches – former French European Champion Darcel Yandzi - leads an all-star cast in this ground-breaking coaching book on three of judo’s most spectacular Ashi waza
About this ebook
One of France’s leading technical coaches, Darcel Yandzi, shows how Sasae-tsurikomi-ashi can form the basis to a judoka’s Tachi-waza, as he reveals variations that work alongside Harai-goshi, O-soto-gari and Sumi-gaeshi.
Learn how Germany’s Udo Quellmalz uses Hiza-guruma as a defensive weapon and Harai-tsurikomi-ashi as an offensive one, whilst USA’s Kayla Harrison, Great Britain’s Winston Gordon and Japan’s Keiji Suzuki all incorporate Sasae-tsurikomi-ashi into some of their most potent combinations. Finally, don’t miss the highly unorthodox Inside Sasae-tsurikomi-ashi from France’s Dimitri Dragin.
