Hi everyone! Let’s continue deep diving into Deashi-Barai, this week I have for you two superb visual resources to give to your judoka, to help them learn two combinations.

First up, a fairly easy combination suitable for intermediates: Deashi-Barai into Kouchi-Gari. Then a more complex combination for advanced judoka: Deashi-Barai into Uchimata.

Visual Resources for you to download

Below, you can download two teaching cards to help your judoka learn how to do these combinations with step by step illustrated instruction.

Teaching Cards

  1. Deashi-Barai into Kouchi-Gari Teaching Card

  2. Deashi-Barai into Uchimata Teaching Card

Why do Teaching Cards help kids learn?

  • Visual Learning. Many children learn visually, and being able to see each step of the technique helps them visualise the technique in the mind’s eye, comprehend the stages and understand the full throw quickly and easily.

  • Study in your own time. These cards allow each child to study slowly, after class, at their own pace. They act as reminders, reinforcing what you are teaching during the class.

  • Progress and Development. The cards allow judoka to mark their own progress, ticking the throw as they learn how to do the basics.

Even More Resources for Deashi-Barai

This judo library continues to grow! For more on Deashi-Barai take a look at these two previous posts (you will need a paid subscription to access or download resources)

Two Combinations to Teach

1: Deashi-Barai into Kouchi-Gari

  • Create movement with deashi-barai. Force your partner to react by stepping off and backwards. Use this backward movement to your advantage. Follow up with kouchi-gari on the opposite side.

  • Ashi-waza skills. This combination can be extended into an ashi-waza circuit that perpetuates. For example if uke steps off the kouchi-gari then they open themselves up to deashi-barai again. And so on…

  • Mat Drills. A good warm-up is to train this ashi-waza circuit with uke walking backwards and tori attacking one foot after the other for the length of the tatami.
