Parts of Techniques
This section breaks down the parts of the common techniques in Judo and mentions them in their Japanese names.
Description: In this video Keith Morgan breaks down the common parts of all throws, the posture/stance, the step in, taking the balance from your opponent and finally the throw. In Japanese:
Tsukuri - entry and body position

These components work together instantaneously to throw the opponent. Kusushi can be done in eight different directions.
Description: The Claw Grip is a Judo grip used to control the opponent. It is used by holding the sleeve on the forearm in a clawlike grip. It is not necessarily a grip that can be used much in competition because it is considered defensive, but it could be used momentarily.
Description: The Lapel Grip in Judo is a very standard grip and used in many techniques. Height of your partner plays an important role in where on the lapel you decide to grip to initiate an effective technique.
Description: In Judo a good partner must be strong but relaxed, so that you can properly practice your technique. If your partner is all soft and does not put effort in, your techniques will feel wrong and your training will not benefit you.
