How Do You Perform A Body Drop In Judo?
If you’re ever confronted by an attacker who is blocking your escape path, a body drop will leave you the option of escaping or placing the attacker in a vulnerable position for a strike. Grab the attacker’s wrists or sleeves as you face the attacker. Step back with the right foot and pull the attacker forward with your whole body. The attacker will be forced to step forward with the left foot. Loosen your right-hand grip, but don’t let go. Pull the attacker toward you and up with the left hand, forcing the attacker’s right foot close to the left. Sweep the attacker’s legs with your left foot in the direction where the attacker is placing the right foot down. As you sweep, pull down hard with your left hand.
