Kicking the shin whilst performing a kouchi/ouchi does not help you. Kicking someone's ankle however makes them move which is a great setup for uchi-bomb.

Hmm, So, I'm supposed to do something after I kick the hell out of them. Interesting. I'll try that tomorrow.

Judo is the best guard pass.

Kicking is for sasae.

Proper Judo.

You know, it amuses me to have found this thread the day I come back from a Judo class. (MMA gym I was decided to close down, fortunately got some recommendations from Jujutsu teacher).
I wish the Judo club I'd found was more like this though. It was mostly kids with the instructor being around my size. Still, was able to work out and practice with the instructor after the formal class was over.

If you walked into that club as a noob you would get raped.

They'd chew you up, spit you out and not give it a second thought.

Clubs like that aren't for rec players, they're for elite fighters.
