Drop Seoi Nage

Drop seoi nage is a variation of the seoi nage throw in judo. Seoi nage, also known as "shoulder throw," is a throw that involves grabbing the opponent's collar with one hand and the belt or back of the pants with the other hand, and then lifting and throwing the opponent over the judoka's shoulder. Drop seoi nage is a variation of this throw in which the judoka drops down to a kneeling position as they throw the opponent, adding an extra element of surprise and power to the throw.

To execute drop seoi nage, the judoka must first establish a strong grip on the opponent's collar sleeve. From there, they lift the opponent off the ground and rotate their body, while simultaneously dropping down to a kneeling position. As they throw the opponent over their shoulder, they should aim to land them on their back or shoulder, while keeping their own balance and control.
