Kouchi-Gari
An essential judo throw
Let’s continue with the KK+ Technical resources, with one of the essentials, a throw no doubt you will be teaching this term at some point: Kouchi-Gari
Kouchi-Gari. How will you teach it this term? A direct attack? As part of a combination?
It’s so versatile. Kouchi-Gari crops up all over the Koka Kids library, and here are resources you might like to use to teach this technique in combination:
1. Kouchi-Gari into Ippon Seoinage
Or what about…
2. Kouchi-Gari into De-Ashi Barai
Or simply, as a direct attack. As usual this week, you can download a step-by-step tutorial card to give out, or put up poster-style in your dojo. Plus there is a certificate to award once your judoka have mastered this technique.
