What are the best Judo throws without a Gi and set ups?

I%26#039;ve found that throwing someone without a Gi is difficult when you are accustom to using the Gi. It isn%26#039;t an easy transition. What Judo throws work the best without a Gi?|||Ipon seonegi is perfect for it is a one arm throw and you would only need to grab your opponants wrist. Do it as a drop throw and it is more effective for competition. Also any of the Ogoshi (hip throws) because you will often find yourself in a clinch with your opponant and as long as you have their arms tied up you can turn in and throw them. Harai ogoshi, Tai otoshi, uchi mata all very effective without a gi. Also Osoto Gari would work well and it is the first throw tought to white belts. I%26#039;d even try the Makikomi throws as they are all one armed throws and you would only need to control your oppoants right wrist with your left hand and your right hand doesn%26#039;t hold onto anything. If you don%26#039;t know them as some dojos don%26#039;t like to teach them as they are potentialy dangerous. They are similar to ipon but your arm goes over theirs rather than under and you go down on top of them. There are 3 or 4 techniques of this style of throw. Oh and don%26#039;t forget Kata Garuma which is a firemans carry in wrestling.





13 years of Judo training|||The principles for any throw still hold true even if you aren%26#039;t using a gi. You just need to find a different way to achieve kazushi (off balancing).





O-goshi and Uke-goshi almost don%26#039;t use the gi much to begin with. From that, if you use an underhook/ behind the back grip, you can do harai-ogoshi.





Ippon seionage is also effective without the gi. There is a taiotoshi variation where you use two hands on one arm that doesn%26#039;t require the gi.





As far as ashiwaza, Osotogari, and Oushigari are effective. I also used to use kosoto, kouchi, and sasae on my wrestlers.





All of these throws and more can be effective without a judogi. What it is going to depend on is what you are good at and what your opponent is built like. This is a question that I had as a white belt and for a long time going up the ranks. Somewhere along the line, I got good enough to convert the principles of a throw even without the gi.





Good luck, train hard, have fun.|||All of them should work with the possible exception of lapel throws. The first throw I learned so it%26#039;s easiest for me was the shoulder roll. It%26#039;s a basic throw used in many fighting styles. You bring the arm over you or you may even be in a headlock. You step into the opponent and roll their weight over you. You fall as well, but on top of them and if done well you land an elbow in the drop as well.





There%26#039;s a saying that if all you train with is in a dojo and gi all you will be able to do is fight in a dojo with those wearing gis. Try mixing up your training a little more. My dojo has street weeks where we all wear normal street clothes (minus shoes of course) to prepare for different outfits. Also getting used to how our clothes move is a good idea as well. You%26#039;re not going to throw many kicks if you%26#039;re wearing a dress or tight jeans and you wont be doing crazy throws in a nice suit.|||i cant spell it but its osotogari!


basically be aware of your body possitioning and hold and see if you can use an open hand push instead of a grip . with osoto you can do an arm across the entire body while you step around and trip the leg...


also simple foot sweeps you can do with out grabbing too.





instead of a grab to the gi you can also sub a grab to the nape of the neck too or the armpit!





I am fortunate to have a good mma school that teaches judo for mma and he tells you ways of using it on the street without a gi..|||Karo Parisyan has a great instructional on no gi judo throws, hes the most succesfful judo fighter to transition into MMA. he uses variations of osotogari, ippon seoi nage, ogoshi, uchi mata, harai goshi and incidentally those are all the best to transition into no gi. some sacrifice throws work too but you should practice and see which do and dont. in general most judo throws will work its just about changing your handle, rather than sleeve you control wrist, tricep and shoulders/waist. as long as u have control to get your kuzushi you will have many throws at your disposal. i would also recomend looking into that instructional dvd series by parisyan.|||actually u can use majority of the throws even without the gi. it%26#039;s just a matter of knowing where to hold your opponent.holding the wrists is like a complete control of the sleeves,u can throw a ippon seoi nage by grabbing the arm(with morote seoinage it depends though). u can even use the makikomi form on your opponent even if he doesn%26#039;t have much clothing.adjusting is just all in the mind...





oh yeah,a nice throw that%26#039;s good to use is the morote gari... :D
