video explanation
i know a lot of you guys understand what youre looking at here but for those new to the concepts
this is a textbook example of basic judo pull/push/pull unbalancing (kazushi = unbalancing in japanese)
when the video starts she is in a left foot lead
with her right hand she has firmly grabbed his shirt between the shoulder and the collar area of his left side
its hard to see it but the first thing she does is actually to pull him as she takes a step back with her left foot
but its not simply a pull
what she REALLY does is to drop her hips, her ENTIRE center of gravity, backwards and down, very quickly
just enough to affect his posture
he resists her pull by pulling himself backwards, away from her
as soon as he starts to resist her pull, she then uses her hips and her entire center of balance to push him in the direction that he is going
so, she pulls him, he pulls back away from her, as he pulls back she uses his own momentum and really pushes him forward very strongly
she has her hips as her focal point here
shes not using just upper body strength to push him, shes using her "center" from a wide base, which results in a very strong push
this push makes him even more off balance and it puts space between them, which she will use in just a second lol
to keep from falling backwards because of this push, he braces himself on his back (right) leg
this bracing of his leg actually shifts his body weight towards her all at once for just a second
as soon as his body weight moves in her direction she pulls him forward (towards her) again and drops down, filling that space that she opened, and executing the technique
again
she pulls to get the sequence started
when she pulls, he pulls away
when he pulls away, she pushes
when she pushes him, he pushes back
when he pushes back, she pulls him again and uses the momentum of his push to throw him over her
PERFECT!
People are complicated.
