Most difficult throw in judo. I hope I can learn it one day. Supposedly it takes no effort if done correctly. I feel retarded when I try it though lol
Not even close, but it still took me a long time to get it. Every instructor I ever had taught it differently, and they were all accomplished, so I didn't know which was "right".
As far as over rotating when throwing goes, it really IS about the rules. In BJJ I don't care how hard my opponent lands, or whether or not their back touches, etc. As soon as their feet leave the mat, I'm thinking about transitioning. In Judo, as soon as their feet leave the mat, I'm thinking about keeping them from turning out or otherwise avoiding the throw, so my drive continues until the conclusion of the throw. It takes some adjustment, but it's not terribly difficult.
