Nice stuff. Never really thought of doing uchi komi without the gi.
 

I don't really know. Maybe I just don't know where to start or something haha. I tried once during wrestling practice, it just didn't felt right at the time, maybe I wasn't doing it at collar tie and elbow grip like ronda and manny which from what i see, gives better movement.
 
The Uchikomi stuff was aite.

I was more impressed with her left body hook. That shit comes out fasaast!
 
Ippon - win
Nage - throw
Gari - reap
Gake - hook
O - big (major)
Ko - small (minor)
Soto - outer
Uchi - inner
Otoshi - drop
Guruma - wheel
Ashi - leg
K/goshi - hip

I left out a few terms you'll encounter once or twice, but most judo throws are a combination of these terms. It sounds difficult, but it's really just the same ten-fifteen words
 
Jesus christ that other dude cracking up was annoying as shit. Ronda should have armbarred him.

Just made a few addenda, if you don't mind. I'm a judo player too, not to mention I also speak/read/write Japanese. Hope you don't mind.

we almost do it like an aikido demo.:icon_chee

like a shark tank but with no-gi judo. guy in the middle gets to throw 4 guys repeatedly for a minute. like a throw every 3 seconds.
 
Ippon doesn't mean "win" it means "one point". One point wins a judo match.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ippon

(Individual Sports & Recreations / Judo & Karate) Judo Karate a winning point awarded in a sparring competition for a perfectly executed technique
[Japanese, literally: one point]

i'm no weabo, but the "ippon"used in ippon seoi nage might have a different connotation than the literal "one point".
 
You can win by one point (ippon-gachi), you can win by compounding a half-point with penalties (sogo-gachi), you can win by default if your opponent is a no-show (fusen-gachi), withdraws (:eek::eek::eek::eek:n-gachi) or is injured (fusho-gachi), etc etc.

So ippon means one point aka a full point or in the case of ippon seionage as you pointed out one arm. There may well be other homonyms as Japanese is full of them.
 
Does it really matter what ippon means?

The fact that it translates as one point doesn't mean it doesn't represent a win. Semantics make learning shit harder.
