A Tai-Otoshi Counter That Simply Works: Ko-Soto-Gake
The beauty of this Tai-Otoshi counter throw is that Ko-Soto-Gake simple and it works. So many counters that I've seen presented over the years leave me in a state of amazement. I have difficulty believing that people have such vivid imaginations.

I don't mean that to sound derogatory in any way. I am genuinely impressed that people can come up with such elaborate techniques.
I'm also not saying that these elaborate Judo throws don't work; most of them probably do. But they hardly fulfil that "maximum efficiency for minimum effort" category.
I'm not a person who likes complicated. Not only that but I find the simpler a throw the more likely you are going to be able to practice it to the point it is both effective and efficient.
This video gives a very clear view of one of the most popular judo throws, Tai-O-Toshi being countered by a much less popular Judo throw Ko-Soto-Gake.
Random thought on Life, Judo Olympics, Judo Self Defense, The Art or Judo Kata, Judo An International Sport. Things that inspire or annoy me or things that I just had to write down.
