I wouldn’t say unexpected to anyone who has done judo but it is a good series
The way this throw is being shown is dangerous. Tai Otoshi is notorious for messing up knees in Judo. You really, really, really want to be sure you are not blocking your opponents knee as you pull him over. In this example, he is pressing the back of his leg into his opponents knee and lifting him over it. He is right on the knife’s edge of breaking that knee – just a little bit of unexpected forward movement would do it. The safe action is to drop your knee towards the mat, away from your opponents knee. This will get him to fall forward. After he is falling, after his foot has broken contact with the mat, THEN pop your leg back up into his leg. It will cause him to spin as he falls and the resulting fall will feel kind of like slipping on ice.
