throwing mechanics

posting this here as a place-saver, I have a flood of research to catch up on here...

Been ruminating over a a number of conflicting/congruent concepts. Much of it is my own method, frequently unencumbered by thought process. Buyer beware:

Throwing or power generation that puts the the hips ahead of the upper body reminds me of wave-punching, which from a Russian perspective, started with stick/knife fighting work but elaborated into something very different.

@24 sec or so, Arkadiy's posture "consolidates" right as the actual push is delivered. It's a compression shove that is more like a one-inch punch than a proper store/release IMO

This is kind of a big problem as timing must be impeccable in order to have maximum delivery. (important note: [B]do not[/B] mess with Arkadiy, IS or no, he is a very dangerous man:devil:)

another push action, but with less wave/segmentation:

@:34 Katanishi-san points out the transfer action. His movements are much more hip2hand and he also shows changing levels, not as much a IS getting under, but as close as I've seen any Judoka manage.

my man Chen Yu at work:

Chen Yu is different in that there is no timing issues with his mechanics, everything "arrives" at the point of contact. Also is isn't just store/release, but store/release/store/release etc in as much of a loop as he needs to sustain.
