Self Defense from Outside Position: Backward Takedown

Video Transcript

"Okay, now we're going to show you a take-down that involves throwing your partner into the opposite direction. Instead of them ending up on their face, they're going to end up on their back. Very, very similar to an Asado Ghari. There are some variations to it. It is not quite an outer reaping leg throw. But, again, she throws her punch, you block, you maintain to the outside of the body. From here, her right leg is forward, I stick my right leg behind hers, I'd be able to get a firm plant, and actually take my right arm and give, sort of like a clothes line towards her neck. It's a pretty dirty technique. So, let's try it again. I'll show you how we get set up from here. Now you don't want to plant your leg here, and then throw your strike because keep in mind, we're in the same position. She could throw me just as easily as I could throw her. So it's all about off balance and loosening up techniques. So, actually I really need to come in with this clothes line or you can just use it as a push for training with a partner and everything, keeping in mind, safety. As you are practicing safety, you can grab to the back of the Gi, take your right hand and grab the collar, and then execute the take down from there. Now keep in mind, once you take the person down, there's also strikes that can be added in to that. So that is your take down, involving somewhat of a variation of Asado Ghari, from an outside position."
