BJJ blue belt learns judo uchi mata (FULL class at CJ Judo ft. Sensei Chuck Jefferson)

[@endurojimmy3109]

Uchimata, up the middle and turn like hell. This was what my old coach said once. He was a two time olympian, and had the best Uchimata I have ever seen. He also said to me "a short arse like you should forget trying to throw taller guys with Uchimata, get under them and get your hips in with O goshi". Single best piece of advice I ever got. Choose the throws that suit your body type basically.

[@joshbeambjj]

Love that!

[@chefrobsen]

Pls tell Sensei Chuck, that he's doing an amazing job of teaching uchi mata this way. I learned so much I can use when teaching it myself. Very helpful!

[@joshbeambjj]

Will do! Thanks for watching

[@BinhtriVu]

That was an AMAZING class that Chuck taught. I loved how he broke down the fundamentals before adding the foot work, hands, fitting in, lifting, and finally finishing the throw. The Q & A sessions where the other students critique their teammates is also a very valuable learning tool for everyone involved. You're lucky to have such a good sensei to learn from. Enjoy the journey and thank you posting these videos.

[@joshbeambjj]

100%, Chuck is great. I honestly have no idea how a judo class is typically even run across different schools, and being a complete beginner, I felt like he guided us through the progression very well! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@Joseph981000]

I’d love to see more Judo videos from you! Judo deserves a lot more attention and there’s not as many judoka influencers compared to BJJ guys.

[@joshbeambjj]

thanks a lot! glad you're enjoying it. I'll definitely be making more!

[@moonrunrs]

What a great teacher and lesson! This is one of the best beginning Uchi Mata classes I've ever seen. I'm going to do these drills immediately.

[@joshbeambjj]

That’s awesome, thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful - Chuck is amazing!

[@Happycamper808]

Great coaching, Uchi mata is something ive never got the lightbulb moment like “oh i get it”. Really technical to pull off in competition. Great video man.

[@simonrcarson]

That was a great class. Thank you for sharing!

[@joshbeambjj]

Of course, thanks for watching!

[@jiujitsuismyoutlet]

Beautiful video. I love judo

[@iandavies6575]

Uchimata is the most difficult and technical throw to master

[@JudoLife]

Great lesson

[@minhquando100]

So the way I was first taught uchi mata was actually by doing hane goshi. The mechanics for hane goshi and uchi mata are pretty much 90% the same hence why in my judo club, we practiced the balance and control for uchi mata by practicing hane goshi. Once you can do hane goshi correctly, then we started teaching uchi mata variations that are distinctly uchi mata (e.g., Shohei Ono’s spinning variation, the one legged hop variation, etc). In fact, you may have realized it, but a lot of the throws you did in this class could technically be classified as hane goshi.

[@jasonrose6288]

Good video. I've always struggled with that lifting-style uchi mata.

[@joshbeambjj]

Glad you enjoyed, Chuck is awesome! Thanks for watching

[@Neutronb0mb]

Yo you got an AC joint injury too!? I just goofed mine 3 weeks ago. Also been thinking about hitting up the local judo gym to learn some

[@israelcanada8969]

I love your channel. Oss

[@joshbeambjj]

Ossss thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

[@pablogonzalez2009]

Looks more hane goshi but honestly they're kind of the same throw so it doesn't matter. Great tips from the coach tho.

[@joshbeambjj]

Interesting, didn’t know that! Is it about tori’s leg placement or what?

[@NoSavo_4980]

Yes! Similar kake (or execution). In Uchi Mata: Your leg reaps upward, between Uke's legs. Thigh against Uke's far leg thigh. In Hane Goshi: from my understanding, there is more hip commitent. This time your reaping leg stays close inside of Uke's far shin. I find Hane goshi best for when my opponent is in a defensive posture.

[@RussiaBot]

Please no more. You’re an npc cliché. Only you can choose to stop being one

[@joshbeambjj]

@RussiaBot huh? 😂

[@emperorjimmu9941]

​@@joshbeambjjthe difference is that uchi mata is a leg technique. You throw uke by lifting their right leg with your right leg, or straight up the middle In hane goshi, which is a hip throw, you load uke onto your hip and use your right leg to help lift their right leg But over time, uchi mata specialists would put their hips deeper and deeper underneath, to make sure they don't get countered with sukashi. This is because your technique in competition won't be perfect and obvious to a specific individual throw, and become more of a mixture of various similar looking techniques. Eventually their uchi mata molded into a hane goshi, but because they still saw themselves as an uchi mata thrower, they still called it uchi mata - even though the principle of the throw changes from a leg throw to a hip throw people learned this "hip style uchi mata" from them, and so uchi mata is slowly becoming a hip throw and hane goshi is slowly being forgotten about as people fail to understand the difference. Essentially, people started calling hane goshi "uchi mata" and then look at hane goshi and go "what's the point in that? It's just uchi mata". You'll occasionally hear uchi mata specialists like Kousei Inoue admit that their uchi mata is really hane goshi

[@andrewwiggin7433]

Judo is really hard

[@707Southpaw]

This is the throw to do against a wrestler in a judo gi.

[@joshbeambjj]

Why’s that?

[@707Southpaw]

@@joshbeambjj greco stance: hips are in front. Not good for Uchi Mata. Freestyle & Folkstlye the hips are trailing for a sprawl. Walk into Uchi Mata. Works on me.

[@joshbeambjj]

gotcha!

[@syn3rgyz]

5:41 that's because judo throws are task specific movements, and drills like these have low transfer effects, the time is better off used to practice the throw

[@jasonrose6288]

That's true. I think they are used to highlight concepts as opposed to directly develop transferrable skills.

[@syn3rgyz]

@@jasonrose6288so to make people feel like they are gaining a skill but not actually.

[@jasonrose6288]

@@syn3rgyz I think you are being overly cynical. There is learning the principles of a technique and then learning how to apply it. In my view, learning the concepts first gives you a reference point for when your technique is failing in randori or shiai. But, hey, there is undoubtedly more than one way to learn and teach technique. Ultimately, the beauty of judo is your technique either works or it doesn't.

[@syn3rgyz]

@@jasonrose6288not cynical just looking at the research and evidence. even at 8:26 the brown belt's best throw is uchimata and he does it differently. so what is the point of teaching it this way then? being able to demonstrate the mechanic of the throw like this in kata form is just a different skill but is in no way contributing factor to developing the skill to throw a resisting opponent in movement.

[@jasonrose6288]

​@@syn3rgyzI'm not so sure I agree. In judo, you learn basic templates for the various techniques. Then over time you develop your own version of the technique that suits your body shape, judo style, personality etc. Indeed, every high level judoka has their own, idiosyncratic version of uchi mata that they would likely have built on the foundations of that initial template. That's what makes judo a fascinating and constantly evolving art and sport. For a basic class, highlighting a classical approach to a technique with some simple if somewhat theoretical drills is probably a reasonable approach.
