Huizinga is joined by USA’s Kayla Harrison, Georgia’s Varlam Liparteliani, Germany’s Udo Quellmalz and Great Britain’s Colin Oates, who each show a different way of escaping from the leg-trap position and moving directly into Osaekomi. GB’s Craig Fallon and Germany’s Ole Bischof perform their signature Ne-waza rolls. Between 2005 - 2007 ‘The Fallon Roll’ was one of the most feared techniques in men’s judo. Learn everything there is to know from Fallon, as he takes you step-by-step through each of his seven variations, which includes armlock and strangle alternatives. Fast transition from standing into Osaekomi is brought to you by GB’s Euan Burton, alongside Bischof. Don’t miss Burton’s very impressive Crocodile Roll. A number of different arm-rolls are taught by Liparteliani and Oates, with Osaekomi-waza combinations coming from Quellmalz and GB’s Winston Gordon.
