For more tips: Go to page 28 of Learn Groundwork 20 Judo Turnovers

Level: Beginners and upwards

The Reach Over is a turnover to use when your partner tries to block you by laying flat on their stomach. Reach over their head and under their far arm. Now use that arm to lever uke onto their back by moving around uke’s head and levering the arm upwards.

Next Turnover: Once you’ve got the hang of the Reach Over – try the Shoulder Roll

For advanced judoka: Be ready to try this turnover if you throw your partner and they turn out of the throw and land on their stomach, be quick to follow up into groundwork.
