Tip 9- The bigger they are, the more they need to be moved.



When fighting in the All Japan Championships and later, on the International scene at over 100kg, Inoue found that bigger opponents were a lot more static than players in the U100kg category. This coupled with the fact that it is obviously harder to power up through the middle when throwing means that Inoue has to make sure he gets his opponents in this category moving a lot more before attacking. He has therefore developed little methods of getting a reaction in a certain direction from a heavier opponent. For example, he will often simply lift up a heavier opponents left leg with an Ouchi reap and then use whatever reaction he gets from his opponent against them, whether this means taking them backwards or forwards.
