Thoughts on my Seoi Nage?

[u/One_Walrus8690]

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.

DO NOT TRY TO FIND THE CRASHMAT

You create bad habit by doing so. Essentially you interrupt your own throw flow.

Either have some one who push the mat while you throw your uke, or just do it on regular mat. You don’t aim the mat, you just do your throw, either let a third person help to protect uke or trust your uke’s breakfall.

I found standing at an angle towards the crash pad helps to keep close... but I still don't like them anyway. All my technique goes bad.
