Ronda and Manny doing Uchi Komis (NO GI)

[Saenchai]

We should talk more about how awesome Ronda's boxing and judo...

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: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.

thanks professor. never played judo before. But I digress - good news! I'm starting a collection for fucks. When I get some together, I'll give them all give to you.

i'm no weabo, but the "ippon"used in ippon seoi nage might have a different connotation than the literal "one point".

It does. And not just connotation, but denotation: "ippon" in the context of "ippon seoinage" means "single arm". The suffix "-hon" is a counter for long objects (including limbs) as well as a counter for points. That's why the other common variation of seoinage is "morote seoinage" -- "dual-handed shoulder throw".

An English equivalent would be the "four points position": the points have nothing to do with the scoreboard, but rather the number of points of contact on the ground.

Does anyone know what the movement she does @ 19:18 is, or a tutorial on it?

It's a side shrimp. Twist your hips and move your arms in the opposite direction so your whole body moves sideways.

On an unrelated note, how come in these promos we always see grapplers working primarily on their striking?

Because if you are an elite grappler with shitty striking and you are going into an MMA match with someone who is a striker and has shitty grappling you should probably spend most of your time striking. I'm sure Rhonda thinks that as this promo makes her fight camp seem like a boxing camp.
