General Training Thoughts on my Seoi Nage?

This was at a judo for BJJ type of class but I’ve recently switched over to a Judo gym since I realized I enjoy it much more. I’ve discovered Seoi Nage throws are my favorite but I can’t say they come easy to me. Just wanted to share.

I don’t get why you’re going to your knees, can you explain why?

its fine, seoi is my main throw and that happens sometimes, esp when throwing into a crash pad. You're likely trying to aim uke forward so they land on the mat, and it causes you to off balance yourself forward and fall to your knee.
