Koga doesn't steps outside his opponents leg to he stays inside. His seoi is successful against people who are on a level very few people are on. If Koga ever did that against you you would not survive. Again he developed a solution to a problem facing him in competition at an elite level NOT BASIC JUDO. It's based on basic sound Judo but modified to help him at that level.

More importantly is looking at the first part of that video the first minute. Master that part and you will have more success than if you tried to replicate an elite level Judoka's modified version.

Well,
You see I was stupidly trying to see what mister Morton was coming from.
I was trying to see where the disconnections could come from. I realty though it was more a matter of explaining the same thing differently than an actual technicall difference.
Acccording to the video angle the 3rd leg explanation does make sense provided that you looked at it from the side and not from the front.

Given the thread mentioned by it is fake, I wonder if i have not been a twat to waste my time and yours on that very topic and I am sorry and profusely appologize for that.

1point2 confirmed his Judo rank is legit by placing a phone call.

I've been told that a good measurement for hip placement for Seoi Nage is to put your buttcrack on uke's thigh. Vulgar, but it works. Vince Tamura taught me that.

I've been taught about the same. The exact sentance used was "position yourself as if you wanted uke to **** you in the ass : your feet between his and your ass lower than his waist" for the classical version.

God bless non-mixed adult classes. The absurdity of NSFW judo...

I have never heard of a third leg either, although I would have suspected it was an American thing. I do ippon-seoi-nage and o-goshi about centered.
