In this video, Matt goes over Left vs. Right Gripping, and shows how to control the favoured inside lapel grip that is great for setting up various attacks such as Seoi Nage, Kosoto Gake, Kouchi Gari etc..:
- Basic Concepts
- Inside control – set lapel hand, and then reach for the sleeve.
- If power gripping, pull opponent in (not keeping them at an arm’sdistance).
- Note: Keep your head on the outside of their body.
