Seoi-nage: Japan’s Olympic and triple World Champion Toshihiko Koga leads an all-star cast in this ground-breaking coaching book on one of judo’s most spectacular throws
Acerca de este libro electrónico
Koga is joined by nine other experts in Seoi-nage, many of which were inspired by him. Classical Ippon seoi nage comes from USA’s Kayla Harrison and Georgia’s Varlam Liparteliani, whilst France’s Dimitri Dragin demonstrates an unusual side-entry and Mark Huizinga of The Netherlands reveals his off-the-grip technique.
Drop Seoi-nage, which has a lot more success in competition than its standing counterpart, is presented by Korea’s Ki-Young Jeon, Japan’s Kosei Inoue, Germany’s Ole Bischof, France’s Lucie Décosse, Mongolia’s Tumurkhuleg Davaadorj and Dragin. Don’t miss the numerous ways Jeon sets up his Seoi-nage or the very unusual grips and angles of attack used by Bischof.
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.
