Exactly which technique are you referring to, Geoff san ? In the YouTube videos you show several techniques, among which te-guruma and utsuri-goshi. Present day IJF rules, refereeing attitudes and less open technical judo unfortunately have decreased the occurrence of such techniques in major competitions.

Slightly embarrassed to say I do not know the name, but it was the first and last slow motion clip, i know the rules have changed and must say that I am disappointed that ground work seems to be discouraged no days, but surely the throws are still allowed??

"Te-guruma", in the old days in the West mostly referred to as "second form of Sukui-nage", yes, has been mostly killed by current IJF rules. This technique particularly came up in the second half to late 1970s, shortly before Morote-gari became popular too.

What "current IJF rules" would "kill" the use of a Defensive/Counter "Te Guruma"? When is "Morote Gari" ever even attempted in any Judo tournament?Cichorei Kano wrote:"Te-guruma", in the old days in the West mostly referred to as "second form of Sukui-nage", yes, has been mostly killed by current IJF rules.

"Mostly been killed" as a lot of people that do te guruma would sometimes grab lower than the belt, or during the final, "turning" stage of the throw may grab the pants to assist in completing the throw. The example shown in the clip would obviously not be a problem under current rules.aspenrebel wrote:What "current IJF rules" would "kill" the use of a Defensive/Counter "Te Guruma"?

Morote gari was extremely popular, especially by eastern european judoka and those with strong wrestling backgrounds (like Dr Rhadi Furguson of the USA) until the IJF started outlawing "leg-grab" techniques.
I assume from your post you may be a younger judoka and thus did not follow much competition in the 80's and 90's?
Forgive me if I am wrong about you but your post lends to that assumption.

Should've been "Who is Robert 'Van' De Walle ? What is a jûdô'gi' ? What 'is' a tatami ?"Cichorei Kano wrote:Who is Robert Van De Walle ? What is a jûdôgi ?
