All from O Goshi setups.

This coming Monday & Thursday sessions, Sensei Clive Douglas will be demonstrating how a strong understanding of O Goshi can create a pathway to multiple attacking options, combining effective gripping, movement, and Newaza transitions.

By focusing on the details of grip dominance, kuzushi, and positioning, students will explore how a single attack can lead to a chain of opportunities—both standing and on the ground.

One setup. Multiple options. Endless learning.

Come and join us for a session and add more value to your Judo 💪🥋
