What's interesting is in the segmented demonstration, your sweeping leg kicks forward aggressively before sweeping back to complete the throw. However, when you demonstrate the complete throw, the sweeping leg doesn't chamber forward to that extent. It's not a criticism. I've been told to chamber my leg in that fashion when learning harai. Yet when I go to throw, I never do it in that way.

[@EfficientJudo]

When entering for the throw, the leg is already in a forward position from the entry step. You certainly don't need to move your leg forward before the sweeping action, it's more a product of showing the action of the leg while explaining the technique somewhat statically. What is important to show is that the leg action comes from the hip.

[@liamcage7208]

According to legend, Harai-goshi evolved out of uki-goshi and therefore it is only a a partial turn instead of a full o-goshi style turn. It was added to develop more power to the uki-goshi and to help prevent those who properly anticipated the throw from stepping around the hip. Ideally you would catch Both legs in the sweeping motion. When you watch your video (particularly you doing it in slow motion) that is exactly how you do it. You don't execute the throw from a full hip rotation but rather more of a uki-goshi entry. Just my 2 cents. I appreciate that this is a controversial and often debated perspective.

@@EfficientJudo you're welcome, I subscribed too, your demonstrations are very clear and concise, and your skill is apparent, peace

[@jedijudoka]

I notice how many judoka first step back before coming in for the throw. What is the reason for that? More momentum or improved lift on kuzushi?

[@EfficientJudo]

it's not something should do in a live scenario, as it just becomes a tell that your about yo attack. But when doing the techniques from a static position, it helps with momentum.

[@SoldierDrew]

They're stepping back while attached to uke in order to break uke posture and establish kuzushi before entering for a throw. It's more efficient to sink rather than step backward to break uke forward posture.

[@soldier3335]

He emphasizes the arm over the head range, but when he throws, its around mid chest. Hmm

[@EfficientJudo]

Good observation - typically when explaining and practising the movements you want to exaggerate them, because in reality, and especially with resistance, you won't get the perfect execution. If you aim for over the head, you'll at least get chest level. If you just aim for chest level, you won't even get there when resistance is applied. You'll also see in the slow motion that the initial pull is up high, and once the balance is broken and the execution occurs, tori then pulls across their chest to get uke onto their back.

[@soldier3335]

@@EfficientJudo thank you for the reply, I understand the concept, and in reality with an actual throw, the arm is pulled close chest. Great Channel, already subscribed

[@UpcomingJedi]

Are all the helpers in blue called Uki? Or does that mean 'guy who always let me throw him' ?

[@EfficientJudo]

Uke means 'receiver', as in the person receiving the technique. Tori means 'to pick up' or 'to choose' and is the person doing the technique. For clarity in our videos tori is always in white and uke is always in blue.

[@FATDUCK2525]

Good video 👍

[@EfficientJudo]

Thanks for watching!

[@Lukeclout]

I am wrong. Harare Goshi and Uchi Mata. Ones outside leg and ones insider leg throw but overall the momentum / technique of execution is similar.

[@EfficientJudo]

The difference is one is a hip throw and one is a Leg throw.

Can I practice my judo throws (f.e: harai goshi) with a cable or will I break it?

[@EfficientJudo]

Its common to use an uchi-komi band which is essentially a bicycle inner tube - so that it has elasticity - just search for 'uchi-komi band' and you'll see examples.

Thanks bro but Can I demonstrate it without anyone, meaning just myself

[@EfficientJudo]

@Wakathoshi you can mimic the motion, but without a training partner / opponent, it won't feel anything similar - balancing on one leg is easy, balancing yourself and someone else on that one leg isn't.

[@DS-te9nm]

what am i doing wrong when it feels like he lands sort of on my support leg? ive buckled my knee a couple times drilling this

[@EfficientJudo]

It sounds like you don't have your balance right and are pulling him over you in an almost lateral direction. My advice would be to practice using a O-goshi grip (around the back) and focus on being able to stand on one leg with the opponent supported, dont worry about throwing, focus on being balanced during the apex of the technique.

[@DS-te9nm]

[@jaredmoglia711]

I'm 6'5 would you say this throw is good for my size?

[@EfficientJudo]

Yes! Harai-goshi is a great throw for taller players, especially from a high collar grip, where you dominate the opponents posture, and as they try to recover you make your attack.

[@fenrir834]

@@EfficientJudo thanks for answering

[@muhammadfahryyogaswara6059]

What is the different harai goshi and Thai otoshi?

[@EfficientJudo]

Harai-goshi is a sweeping hip throw - uke is lifted off the ground with the hips. Tai-otoshi has no lifting whatsoever, it's a pure hand throw where tori drops 'otoshi' under uke and drives them over with only hand contact.

[@drutgat2]

Thanks, but in the actual throw you did not do the wrist rotation you describe for the sleeve hand, from 0.17 - 0.29. Does this mean that the rotation is optional?

[@EfficientJudo]

Thanks for watching! The action of the sleeve hand is very important to make space for tori to get their body in position for the throw. During the explanation the movement is exaggerated, against a resisting opponent it simply won't be possible to get such a large reaction. In the actual throw you can see we pull the sleeve hand high but once the body is in position it's no longer needed to make space - it job becomes to help keep connection between tori and uke, and help finish the throw with control. I hope that helps!

[@kartosha7163]

So basically it's similiar to Uchi-mata but the sweeping leg is going outside the legs and not in between?

[@EfficientJudo]

There are similarities - but classically uchi-mata is a pure leg technique, and harai-goshi is a hip technique. The similarities come because a lot of people like to do uchi-mata with a bit of hip action. Both done classically, they are quite different in feel.

[@jeegupopli1871]

What the meaning of a harai?

[@EfficientJudo]

Harai / Barai means sweeping - we put the translation in the corner of the demo videos.

[@sylvanacascade3775]

how is it different from ashi guruma

[@EfficientJudo]

Harai-goshi is sweeping hip, there is a lift of uke with the hip, and tori leg sweeps through uke. With Ashi-guruma the leg blocks uke and then they are wheeled over the outstretched leg, there is no hip lift or sweep. Ashi-guruma can be thought of like a hiza-guruma, but you use the other leg to block.

[@sylvanacascade3775]

@@EfficientJudo wow thank you. At first i just cant distinguish both since they have the same movement not until you guys said the inclusion of the hips. Thanks again
