Techniques for Gradings
Some pictures used to show kids the techniques are so bad, I can't even understand what is going on.
Here's the lunchboxes I draw for my kid to help her learn the technique names:
Ippon Seoi Nage - Orange Belt
One arm, back carry throw.
The important thing here is teaching the body position which allows you to "carry" Uke on your back. Otherwise it ends up as a hip throw.
Morote Seoi Nage - Yellow Belt
Two handed back carry throw
It's in the name. You carry them on your back, not your hip.
Taiotoshi - Yellow Belt
Body Drop
So, so, so important that the arms stay in front of the body. Kids get so caught up in remembering where their feet go, they forget this is a hand technique.
Ogoshi - Yellow Belt
Major hip throw.
The arm goes all the way around the waist and Tori makes a full turn. Getting your belt below theirs is the key.
Șase Tsuri Komi Ashi - Yellow Belt
Propping drawing ankle throw
Hard name for kids to remember.
This teaches a fundamental idea of moving out of the way of your opponents force, putting in a block and then "wheeling them around", rather than trying to lift them.
Tsuri Goshi - Yellow Belt
Lifting Hip Throw
Gripping on to the belt, over Uke's shoulder, around their waist or even at the front. Using the gripping hand to lift
