Morote-Seoi-Nage is one of our top ten judo throws, that we consider all judoka should learn. It is a British Judo Association requirement for 8th Mon (orange belt).
You learn how to do a full 180 degree entry, correctly lift your partner on your back, and rotate to finish the throw. As you progress you can learn how to attack both from a standing position and from a drop knee position with this versatile attack.
When you counter any throw, don’t forget you can do so also counter with ne-waza. Of course ne-waza counters will work only with throws where the attacker ends up on the tatami. Because of this a drop knee Morote Seoi-Nage is wide open for groundwork counters.
