NAGEKOMI”. Practice the day before the All-Japan Judo Championships
The Hane goshi is slowly becoming my favourite throw. Maybe it's the inescapable nature of its execution. Maybe it's the tactile nature of the leg extension and the uke sliding off it like a sack of potatoes.
My tokui waza used to be the Tai otoshi because it was easily hidden as a plan B move. But now I want to pivot to this. Yesterday my sensei told me the harai goshi was the preferred throw of middleweight to heavyweight judoka. I agree but inside I was like I really like Hane goshi more.
