Hi All.
I'm really struggling to do turning in throws in Randori / Shia. Throws like sieo-nage I just cannot do. This is for two reasons:
1) Fear: It is intimidating to commit, especially when you keep getting countered.
2) Lack of kuzushi. I find it really hard to unbalance my partner and get a good pull.
My forward facing throws have got better and I am beginning to use a couple of combinations which seem to be working well. (For instance sieo-nage into ko-uchi gake).
I try to practice good turning in throws in uchi comi, and that has been getting easier.
It is just in Randori that I never do them, for the above reasons. I also often fight bigger people, which makes it harder if I'm not fully committed.
I CAN do drop throws and have thrown larger people with that. I've just stopped doing them as I think they are destroying my standing throws (kept flopping by habit) and I want me knees to work.
I'm 68kg, and short. Most of my partners are in the 80's.
Any advice as to what I should do?
Thanks!
(I'm a green belt, so still somewhat novice).
