Vlad Koulikov adds another must-have instructional to his BJJFanatics catalogue with The Classic Tomoe Nage, a jam packed series dedicated to this classic technique! You’ll learn essential concepts and fundamentals of tomoe nage, as well as advanced setups and follow-through submissions!
Tomoe nage is a perfect low-risk option that can lead directly to dominant positions and even fight ending submissions. Another reason why tomoe nage is such a safe option is that even if things don’t go perfect you will still be in a good position and ready to attack from a variety of guards. Vlad even covers a section in the instructional dedicated to using a variation of butterfly guard to keep you on the attack off of a failed tomoe nage.
With Tomoe nage setups are everything. Kuzushi (off balancing) and grips will aid in effective tomoe nage setups, thankfully Vlad shares his favorite ways to obtain grips and utilize them. This will help you create the perfect scenario to make tomoe nage easier to apply, even against larger/more experienced opponents.
As an added bonus Vlad covers how to transition directly from multiple tomoe nage variations into fight ending armbars! The Classic Tomoe Nage is a perfect addition for anyone looking to get underneath their opponents for low-risk/high-reward techniques they can use in EVERY match!
