Osotogari Throw stopped cold... then go to?

Today lets look at a few options from failed osotogari throw.

First a little shameless plug: Until the end of this month all videos at www.learn-jiu-jitsu-online.com are 50% off! If you like these techniques then check our instructional videos (all in 720p HD).

There is also a great video series on Ground Self-defence which bridges the gap between sport grappling and real street self defence, 15 videos for just $5.00. Only until the end of the month so check it out now!


As you know by now, I a big believer in options. You have to know where you can go from where you are and the only way for that to happen is to play with chaining techniques together. It really doesn't matter what style of jiu-jitsu or martial art you do, there is only so much that they can teach you.

At some point you need to start taking what you have been taught and play with it outside the box. Try different positions or a a follow up to a failed technique. We need to do this on the mat because sometimes things seem good on paper but don't work in the application. So get out there play with what you know, open your mind and expand your knowledge.

So... where can we go if our osotogari (major outer reaping) throw doesn't work. I mean you step in to kick their leg out and.... thud their leg don't move. Well S@*t! Where do you go from there?

The videos below will give you a few options but remember these are only a small amount of the possible responses. Have a look what would YOU do as a follow up?
