Many of our members, including valued alumni Karim Nader and Edward Espinoza, regard this as their favorite throw. At the $25 mark, we want to commemorate the throw that many of us know and love. It is a throw taught to beginners, but which also makes incredible appearances at higher levels of Judo.
Translated to "major/large hip throw" this is one of the first throws a Judoka will learn and even effective at high levels. Its stability, power, and foundation is some of the best in all throws, and we would like to dedicate this level to our alumnus and former coach, Chris Trieu
Translated to "body drop", Tai-otoshi represents the grace and technique of Judo. Widely used by Olympic level Judoka due to its reliability and versatility, we would like to commemorate this level to our former president Omar Melhelm.
This tier is in honor of Matt Machado, former president and current baller. Called "shoulder throw" in English, this throw is one of the most widely seen in both Judo and pop culture. Traditional Seoi-nage implies a "morote" (double arm) grip, but variations include "ippon" (single arm) and "eri" (collar).
Known as "major inner reap", Ouchi-gari is a fundamental sweep that every Judoka should know. Vital for setting up combos and finishing them, we would like to dedicate this level to our former sensei, Tim Webb. Just like this throw, he was, and still is, vital to all aspects of our club
