Georgian grip advice

I have been quite liking the georgian grip for a while, but the only throw I knew how to do was hikikomi gaeshi, and beyond that I can only get the position from a regular over shoulder grip gets ducked giving me the georgian A position.

I want to build out my repetoire for the georgian grip, as I feel like its a very strong position to aim for and work from, so throws I should look into developping would be great to hear. I would also love advice for how to force the position more often, how do I seek the georgian grip to aim for these techniques. Finally I want some feedback on the "correct" body composition for georgian grip, I am a shorter lighter judoka, 62kg 5'8, so is this a system more used by heavy weights? Is it less applicable against people who outweigh me?

Thank you, any advice would be greatly appreciated, and either way its nice to have a chat on here! 😁

My first run in 8 months

The fastest 10k thing isnt fully accurate, but my PB is from before I got Strava at about 1:01.

Still, I really enjoyed it, a beautiful run across the beach front. I reckon its time to get back into it properly. Half marathon soon? Probably not, but we'll see.
