Beautiful UCHIMATA 内股 by Genta Mikami (Inner thigh judo throw)

This video is about UCHIMATA in randori, by Genta Mikami
Make special note of the preparation kuzushi (breaking balance) and coming to the front to enter, and stabbing in set up, prior to the true entry. Watch his relaxed arms, and "FLOATING HIP," pendulum action entry.
Amazing TAISABAKI (footwork) with floating flexible hips and relaxed style.
I attended Dumbea Judo open in New Caledonia, and trained at a 3 day camp with Kansai area judoka Japanese judo team. It was great, with all the NCL judoka and Tokyo (Kansai) judoka to battle.

Scary thing about good judo players, you can't avoid their throws, even if you KNEW it was coming.

Yeah, with the gi for sure.

This is so beautiful and mesmerizing, I could watch this all day. He makes uke looks more compliant in randori (even though they are actually resisting) than I make my uke look during nage-komi. That first throw -- wow. He achieves stratospheric height on that one!

This is true, such fluidity of shifting hip fulcrum

Very nice🤙I could watch Uchi Mata all day

These are really the best uchimatas I've ever seen, hope to be as clean as he was with those throws.

very nice, sets up the line very well.

[@joserodriguez-ky5qj]

Beautiful serie of uchimata,fantastic...i am very excited when i doing uchimata and when i see a beatiful uchimata. Uchimata is the most beautiful technique of judo.

[@mrv1271]

The most popular for sure. The most beautiful one is harai goshi. My opinion.

[@wiedersassall8459]

So clean

[@craigthomson1778]

One of the best throws with somebody with strong legs . Great technique to use left handed but requires much practice .

[@JudoLife]

Absolutely

[@luxuryhomes8889]

dammm that form is crazy...

[@eduardotoledo2744]

im getting some ideas from his technique... lefty against right, he always keeps his sleeve hand near his hips making not much need of up pulling strenght... his collar hand force the head down twisting the wrist. and they are basically two steps uchimatas. ill try these on trayning hehe

[@JudoLife]

Yes its very efficient on strength. Long training sessions 3-4 hours a day for 8 years, and supplementary morning training help achieve this efficiency.

[@echsos]

What should the tsurite be doing in this particular version of Uchi Mata? I see him do the high elbow here and there but i'm unsure what kuzushi it should be generating, should the tsurite be trying to pull the Uke onto your body so that they can be properly loaded onto your side?

[@JudoLife]

Yes exactly It pulls in to your own chest to fix the connection (body seal 🦭) the hips fulcrum pendulum under.

[@echsos]

@@JudoLife Thank you for the clarification!

[@AdamMohamed-cq9fv]

can i do uchi mata/ harai goshi with classical tsurite upward pulling kuzushi? i see alot of people doing elbow up variations on these sweeping hip throws. please answer

[@JudoLife]

Of course you can, the important aspect here is floating hip subtle entry

[@AdamMohamed-cq9fv]

Pro Judo thank you for replying, i appreciate it alot

[@nicholaschen9545]

Most of his uke already have bent over. It is less efficient to pull them up again unless you are going for overkill.

[@JudoLife]

Exactly, its not personal, its just how we learn judo best, by getting thrown correctly and attempting best efforts at copying the actions.

[@anilarmitt8136]

Mastery. Absolutely ridiculous

[@JudoLife]

Whole dojo full of similar crazy good judoka. His floating hip taisabaki was special. He didn’t win the tournament, but beautiful movement. He lost to club mate from Tokyo.

everyone who passes through High School & University after 8 years of 3 hours judo mat training a day 6 or 7 days a week, and morning fitness etc has 2 or more belts like this. It is fantastic to visit and train a few months, loved my time there. JUDO HEAVEN

[@olaberglund5507]

How does he do this?!

[@JudoLife]

relaxed judo entry, minimum power in the arms, relaxed hips, explosive speed

[@libertarian_ramblings]

Easy.

[@elanreally3522]

Thousands of uchi komis. To the point of reflex, to the point of relaxation then finally, minimum effort and maximum efficiency. Before all this careful analysis of the technique and thousands of drills.

[@carolinahdz5912]

elan really

[@elanreally3522]

Yes, Carolina, Really. This type of perfection is 80% drills and 20% Randori. Many entries to Uchimata. I wish I could post the KZbin sites but it's like I have to work to find the best ones. This one ranks, if you study the kusuchi carefully among the top 10.

[@walkingcorpse1224]

Daaaaammmmmn!!! I wish I could do Uchi Matas like that!!! I would probably have to practice that move every day for two years just to get it like that. But it's kind of hard, I need someone to act as a dummy first. 😂

[@JudoLife]

More like 5 to 10 years with tense judoka or 1-2 years in Japan training with relaxed judoka. I am sure Genta trained junior High, then High School and then University Judo clubs, that's 6 or 7 days a week for 3-4 to 6 hours a day for 8 years, and just few days off each year.

[@walkingcorpse1224]

All about JUDO Ya I wish I could do that. I have the time, but just not the money to be going to two Dojos for 4 hours total a day. I gotta stick to one dojo for 2 hours a day.

[@JudoLife]

Best use of energy! Key principal in judo, so working it relentlessly for 2 hours, and in a smart way (I call it judo smart) will achieve a much improved result

[@walkingcorpse1224]

All about JUDO It's all I can do. I'm stuck with that type of schedule no matter what I do, unless the dojo I go to opens up two different hour slots.

[@JudoLife]

Yes and its not just about you, your partners too play a huge role in being relaxed and spending the hours training. Perhaps you can go early or get together with keen judoka and form a special small group At least do more uchikomi.

Good Judo

[@SHYAN]

Does judo hurt alot?

[@JudoLife]

Yes of course. But you toughen your body and develop a higher pain tolerance quickly

[@minhquando100]

SHYAN every throw hurts a lot. but through pain you build strength.

[@joaomartins9367]

Please, don't take them too seriously. They obviously didn't explain it correctly to you. Let's breakdown what you need to know: 1. In judo, you have to be sure that you're trainning with an acknowledged teacher/coach/sensei;shihan/whatever. So you are able to trust that he knows what he's doing; 2. You will learn how to fall, so you won't hurt yourself along the fights; 3. If you can fall, you're 99% certain that you won't get hurt as soon as you hit the ground; 4. Learn how to throw. The falling proccess itself may not hurt you, but doing a really (really, really) bad projection of some throw may hurt your partner. He won't get hurt if you throw him correctly and if he knows how to fall; 5. The worst setting will happen if you're a high level athelete -or if you're workingn on to it -is that you may have some injures in your knees or fingers, for example. But this happens in every sport that requires too move movement; 6. Plus, even being a hihg level athelete, if you take really good care of yourself - going to doctors regularly - you are free to go. Conclusion, try judo and check these points for yourself. If someone tells you that a throw ''hurt a lot'' he/she is either lying OR being a bad judoka that is not able to to fall correctly. In judo you don't focus on strength, you focus on intelligence, technique, strategies. People who think that only muscles will win are terribly wrong. This ''pain builds strength'' thing is just being said to make it sound badass. What real atheletes need to know is: HARD WORK and DEDICATION will make you great at what you do.

[@SHYAN]

Joao Martins Thank you very much!

The difference between 3 or 4 sessions of 2 hrs a week (the teenage judoka from NZ) and every day training athlete for 5 to 6 hours a day for 12 years, though the teenage years. (Junior High, High School and University in serious athletic program of Budo style Judo clubs in Japan)

[@huntsvilleadventurer]

Jay Ortiz you're right, you're right. Keep your training partners healthy!

[@killersalmon4359]

In Judo, randori (sparring) is split up into standing, and matwork. For standing, you try not to land on your opponent, to save them from wear, and tear. In a tournament, however, you would ride the other guy down, and land on top of them, and continue with matwork (if necessary). Some clubs will use a big crash pad (like 12+ inches of padding) to practice really drilling a throw, and landing on your opponent, but it's mainly done in drill form.

[@witbyy]

black belt +100kg vs green belt -66kg yep hes so good

[@JudoLife]

Its not that, it is the way he moves and uses break balance and hip in the attack. Don't you see the skill in his relaxed style? I certainly see talent, in his gentle yielding judo. He smashed all the black belts there too, by the way. He did not perform brilliantly in the shiai we had, but honestly his randori was fantastic. He launched me into tomorrow with his tomoenage, I bounced 3 times on landing, sooo fast, and sublime uchimata was unstoppable, yet this guy hardly ever competed (his first low level International) and was just a club member, but on the club team for team fights etc.

[@JudoLife]
