Book excerpt: In this book, Ko-soto-gari, the world’s leading expert in Ashi-waza - Japanese double World and Olympic Champion Keiji Suzuki - gives a masterclass in his most significant technique. Suzuki’s Ko-soto-gari shot him to fame, as he used it to win the finals of both the 2003 World Championships and 2004 Olympic Games. Learn how Suzuki revolutionised Ko-soto-gari, turning it into his most dangerous throw. Suzuki is joined by Great Britain’s Winston Gordon and France’s Ugo Legrand, who specialise in Bearhug Ko-soto-gari, and Russia’s Kirill Denisov - who will risk everything for his jumping entry into Ko-soto-gari. Throwing descriptions and tuition are accompanied by incredible photographic sequences, with the key technical moments highlighted.
