Leigh’s throwing system for Jiu Jitsu is based on a simple gripping strategy and rolling takedowns that resemble guard sweeps. The intention is that Jiu Jitsu players will be able to utilise familiar skills to get a collar grip and turn someone over from underneath.
This variation of Sumi Gaeshi is a strong option for Jiu Jitsu players as the throw involves sitting into a variation of Butterfly Guard and using similar mechanics to a seated sweep. The footwork to initiate the throw provides a massive amount of momentum, and the grip heavily dominates Uke’s posture, making this throw close to unstoppable. The application within the throwing system is that Tori had the collar grip, and Uke has reached under the arm. There is an option to take the back, but Uke has turned to defend, opening them up for an entry from the front instead.
