a one grip de ashi barai- Does it really work?

[mrbicrevise]

Quick question for any judo/jitsu students who know their stuff: Has a single grip (maybe high sleeve or lapel grip) de ashi barai ever worked for you in randori or competition (when your opponent is resisting you)?

[MrPoopy]

I dunno about one handed. I guess it could work one handed if you timed it just right.

My judo instructor did it to me quite a bit when I first started. I stopped crossing my feet so much and took a wider stance.

As an aside; Mr. Poopy, What IS that avatar of yours supposed to be? I've been trying to figure it out for days.

[MrPoopy]

It's not related to my nick.

It's Mother Brain from the original 8bit NES game Metroid.

Metroid is one of my favorite series of games.

It is a great randori or competition opener.

When you come in gripping grab a left handed mid lapel grip and jerk them to you. Someholy shit batmanholy shit batmanholy shit batmanes you can pick up the leg with your left foot or get a clean sweep.
