Mastering Seoi Nage is a 7-part instructional dedicated to all-things Seoi Nage. If you have tuned in for a Travis Steven instructional you know he means business. Travis covers a wide array of concepts that pertain to the Ippon Seoi Nage including drills, variations, and complimentary throws that are crucial to your overall Seoi Nage success. Travis even dedicates several sections to Two Handed Shoulder throws!

 

Part 1 covers your basic entries and principles of the Ippon Seoi Nage. Here Travis lays the groundwork for landing the seoi nage. He expands upon this foundation and covers uchikomi drills. Uchikomi is repetitive practice designed to focus on specific aspects of a technique. Ippon Seoi Nage is a technique that benefits from repetitive practice. Travis demonstrates uchikomi for multiple phases of Ippon Seoi Nage.

Part 2 focuses on attacking seoi nage against both left lead and right lead stances. This variable is one that can be hard to adjust to. Travis gives you options off attack regardless of how your opponent is standing. For an added bonus, he adds in the kneeling variation of Seoi Nage, Seoi Otoshi. Mastering the Seoi Otoshi will help you advance to part 3 where Travis starts to introduce the Drop Seoi Nage. The Drop Seoi Nage is an immensely powerful technique that relies on superb timing. Travis shows you how to not rely on athleticism but instead proper grips and footwork!

 

As an added bonus Travis covers some supporting throws in part 4. By having multiple avenues of attack you keep your opponent guessing! Never stop attacking with throws like Ko Soto Gari, Koshi Garuma, Maki Komi, and Yoko Tomo Nage. Each throw exploits a reaction to the Seoi Nage threat. With Mastering Seoi Nage you learn to continuously attack and threaten throws from all angles!

 

The last THREE sections are dedicated to Two Handed Shoulder throws! Cover techniques like Morote Seoi Nage and Sode Tsuri komi Goshi to give yourself a systematic approach to launching the opposition!
