Takedowns for BJJ: Seionage/Shoulder Throw (in competition, breakdown, various grips in live training)

As per usual, opens with a clip of me hitting it in JiuJitsu competition (proof of concept under the JiuJitsu ruleset) then breakdown of the Ippon/Lapel version while standing then me utilizing various grips in live training while both standing and kneeling.

It's important to differentiate between practicing the move, hitting it live in Judo or other rulesets, and hitting the move successfully in rulesets with leg grabs. Modern Judo bans leg grabs so the posture and obstacles to hitting it in JiuJitsu are considerably different than Sambo or Judo rules.

It's easy for someone who's competed at a high level in wrestling, Sambo, or Judo to theorize about throws in JiuJitsu or submission grappling when they're not operating with the option of an opponent to sit, jump guard, attack a flying submission or look for a choke et cetera. It's a very different set of circumstances within which to operate. That's why anything I teach is something I've hit in JiuJitsu competition, MMA, or submission grappling competition.
