From Brazil based Weird Clothing Co. The product description says it’s made of a polyester twill fabric but who knows how durable these things really are. They’re selling for $77 BRL which is about $41 USD for you estrangeiros. Also, no idea whether or not you can order these outside of Brazil. These would be some siiiiiiick shorts to train no-gi in.
Sensei Leo White demonstrates the finer points of Osoto Gari – the large outer (outside) reap. Osoto means “outside” and gari is “to reap”. Osoto Gari is one of the first throws taught in Judo and is often used to move into other throwing techniques. Leo White is a 2-time Olympian and 18-time US National Champ.
The Osoto Gari is an excellent takedown to add to any BJJ player’s arsenal. The principle is to force your opponent’s weight onto one leg, then sweep it out from beneath them. There are a myriad of variations on throw execution, but this instructional shows important basic technique and the reasons for them.

Shigeyuki Uchiyama lost more than just the match after doctors stopped the fight due to part of his ear falling off during a takedown attempt that went into the ropes. Uchiyama was reportedly winning the fight until the ear injury. That is one of the more unfortunate fight stoppages I ever did hear… WHAT?
Fighters are no longer allowed to say “I left it all in there” after this. Also, if this doesn’t convince you guys to take care of your cauliflower ear before it gets bad, then nothing will. Pics are from Fanhouse.
Really graphic, eary images after the jump.
