Tewaza Essentials



These days tewaza (hand techniques) is the smallest category of techniques in judo. After the IJF banned leg grabs, many hand techniques were considered illegal (e.g. morote-gari, kuchiki-daoshi, te-guruma, kata-guruma and so on). What's left are the following:

Ippon-seoi-nage
Morote-seoi-nage
Tai-otoshi
Seoi-otoshi (ippon & morote grips)
Uchimata sukashi

*Note, technically there are other hand techniques like sumi-otoshi and uki-otoshi which are so rarely seen in competition that I have not included them.
