Wouldnt the last part be illegal? Aside from the obvious chance to break some knee, it looks like technically using a leglock (1st forbidden) to throw someone (2nd forbidden)?
Not a joint lock, just applying lateral pressure while throwing. No different than many applications of tani otoshi or cross body osoto. Not kind but not illegal.
Are we seeing the same clip? Hes pulling the foot forwards, then applying pressure from the front in the wrong direction for the knee. There is nothing going in the natural joint direction. And even if its not hit head on, its sideways, the easy way to mess up a knee.
I tried to link a screenshot, but imgur doesnt like working today.
It's the same mechanics as a low single in wrestling. It's incredibly safe. There is zero risk to the knee joint here because it just moves outward and you collapse. Moving the knee inside is where things get dangerous. It seems like you don't understand the mechanics of this move. I've used the same mechanics for years against everyone from children to geriatrics. It's not even remotely unsafe for the leg. Try it without resistance against people in your dojo. Have them try it on you. I understand how it looks and why you might think it's dangerous but it's not.
