Whenever I see a standing ippon-seoi-nage I can’t help but be reminded of the late, great Koga and how indebted all of us are to him for inspiring us to do standing ippon-seoi-nage. It’s much easier to do a drop ippon-seoi-nage but the standing version is more dynamic and ultimately more satisfying when you can pull it off. It’s without question, my favorite throw.
