Welcome to our YouTube channel where we explore various techniques in the world of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). In this video, we will be diving into the world of Japanese Jiu Jitsu with a focus on the modern technique called “Soto Makikomi,” also known as the “Outer Winding Takedown.”
Soto Makikomi is a highly effective and versatile technique that can be employed in both self-defense situations and sport BJJ competitions. This technique falls under the category of takedowns and is primarily used to bring your opponent to the ground and gain a dominant position.
The term “Soto Makikomi” translates to “Outer Winding” in English and perfectly describes the mechanics of this technique. When executed correctly, the practitioner uses their body to wrap around their opponent’s body, effectively trapping them and taking them down to the ground.
To perform this technique, the practitioner starts by establishing a strong grip on their opponent’s lapel and sleeve. This grip is crucial as it allows for control and manipulation of their opponent’s movement. With a firm grip in place, the practitioner steps to the outside of their opponent’s body, positioning themselves in a favorable angle to execute the takedown.
As the practitioner steps to the outside, they use their body and momentum to wind around their opponent, effectively pulling them off-balance and bringing them to the ground. The takedown is completed by sweeping the opponent’s leg or legs and driving them to the mat. The result is a powerful and fluid motion that leaves the opponent vulnerable and the practitioner in a dominant position.
It is important to note that while Soto Makikomi is a highly effective technique, it requires proper timing, body positioning, and control. Therefore, it is essential to practice this technique under the guidance of a qualified instructor to ensure safety and maximize its effectiveness.
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner, this video will provide you with valuable insights and step-by-step instructions on how to execute the Soto Makikomi technique effectively.
