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.

Try to do it as one smooth motion, don't stop/freeze the movement in the middle. Maintain your balance.
Also your arms look very passive. Pull up and towards yourself while you're turning in to get your opponent on their toes. Then you drop down to get "under" them, and keep your arms engaged as you rotate.
