Harai goshi judo throw in depth

Harai goshi by Shintaro Higashi.
Ai yotsu, or RvR and LvL:
Adjust position so that your lapel hand is higher than theirs. When your partner is standing in a neutral position, load the hip and take them straight over. Pull, load them onto the hip, block the shin, and rotate over the hip. In another variation you can skew your hips to the side and rotate your partner over your leg. In either version, it's very important to off balance your partner forward so as not to get countered. Kuzuchi is easiest when you're in a dominant position!
Kenka yotsu, or RvL:
A great way to set up a harai goshi is with a two-step uchi mata. To defend the uchi mata, partner will posture up and move away. Anticipate your partner's defense of the two step uchi mata and stick the leg across and attack the leg for harai. Some people might call this ashi guruma.
The most important thing is dominant position before attacking a big turn throw such as harai

the slow motion at the beginning is really helpful

[@marcusjones250]

I LOVE that uchi-mata style setup for harai - any time you can make someone stand on one leg, that's a fantastic time to put them through the floor!

[@rengoku9029]

Excellent instruction, clarifications, clear understanding, but most of all high quality and consistency as always. Thank you mentor

[@mrv1271]

Magic!!!! One of the most beautiful throws in judo.

[@WreckingKrew00]

I'VE been watching your videos for a short time now and I'm always impressed at how you explain the techniques. That was some excellent "slo mo" (slow motion). Keep up the good work . I will continue to watch.

[@DeLaKleve]

Love your videos! They’ve helped me a lot with my takedowns for bjj!

This move is so satasfying.The drop is so smooth if you know how to do it, and after your opponent is down you can do an arm bar, a crucifix and much more...

[@nenadzdravkovic950]

This is it!

[@SimonRealtor]

We were just learning these moves in class last week. Any chance you do a video on the diference between harai goshi, o guruma and ashi guruma? They look similar and looks like even you mixed them up too 😂 (although you did recognize ashi guruma). P. S. Thanks for the videos. Been very useful watching them.

[@vladmirlenin9749]

for all intents and practical purposes at our (probably) non-professional level, they are basically the same, ashi guruma is your foot at the bottom of ukes leg, near the ankle, harai is just below his knee and o guruma is your sweeping leg at his hip level,

[@kenkongermany7860]

To me the slowmo at the beginning and the throw at the end was Harai Goshi. (No Hane Goshi anywhere...). Most other were short Ashi Guruma Versions. To me the Harai Goshi leg pushes the outer leg a little back, then is a pivioting point for ukes weight resting partly on it. The intial bump to lift uke stems from the mittle of his tigh. Ashi Guruma is a barrage in the air for a te waza (no weight resting on it, altough the pivot is much more obvious). Often comes in play when uke tries to jump around a harai goshi or tai otoshi. Wich you can encourage with one sidestep with him right before the entry.

[@weakfrontkick]

How did you get 8 down votes lol Thats crazy I'm a karate guy and enjoyed the crap out of this video I really like how you get your calf on the outside of his knee and the camera work showed details like that very clearly great work sir OSU.

[@santostroncoso4174]

I do Jui Jitsu (year and a Half) it's a throw I've been constantly practicing on...so far I've gotten lucky with it twice ... The second time, I did it to a purple belt felt great that I got the throw but I ended up in his Guard some how 😂😂

[@josemiguelortizmartinez6531]

Please can you show us a little bit newaza tecnics please? Thank you !!sensei re !!

[@FranciscoEstrada1]

I don't understand why this is the only online video in the whole Internet were the GOSHI, from 'hara' goshi', is considered as a part of the explanation. I will base my harai goshi in this one. The rest of the videos only consider the sweep, the 'harai'.

[@shatrack]

For my support leg, should I be on my tip toes, or is it okay to be flat footed?

[@mauricematla1215]

Cool, some how Harai Goshi is the only Goshi waza trow that I can make work for me in randori. It just "fits" me better than te others.

[@avenuex3731]

Kuzushi is always most important.

[@rblokey]

Could you demonstrate harai goshi with a cross collar choke entry? We use that attack quite a bit in the aiki jujitsu school I attend. Ie we enter a standing cross collar choke and then Harai goshi. A number of our kata counter that. I would love to see you explain the addition of the choke. Thanks!

[@jestfullgremblim8002]

Thanks, my Harai Goshi lacks a LOT. I don't know, i've hit the ippon seoi nage more than this move.

[@larryzach7880]

Great stuff! love your videos. At the end you said some might call it Hane Goshi and they might but they would be wrong, you would be right. Your leg is still sweeping i.e. Harai Hane requires a more exaggerated bend/spring/lift from the support leg, also in Hane the throwing leg is bent to create a hip to knee platform that bounces Uke up then a strong kake rotation to unload. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, going to try to pass this stuff on to our students. Ji Ta Kyo Ei

[@pavluxaemelyanov1517]

Whould you please show a tgrow that go's when you get a grabbed from the backor the side and you grab that hand under yuor urmpit pull and do a step/sweep under the opponent.. Or if you did allredy talked about this one give me a link on it please -whould really appteciate...

[@tomwalker389]

Second variation on RvR is a like a high Tai-O.

[@EtherealWinterWind]

You've emphasised obtaining the dominant position for Harai. But probably a newbie question, but what should you do if do if you have the inferior position? Are there throws that are more "preferable' from an inferior position. I know the answer is probably don't let the opponent get the dominant position, but as you know that sometimes isn't possible or you've slipped up and you have to work from there.

[@user-ot4vr8qg5e]

I'm also a newbie, however if you are in inferior position since whatsoever reason, you should focus on escaping

[@user-ot4vr8qg5e]

Or else you could focus on opponents move and prepare a counter

[@HuyConWargaming]

If they have their right hand over your collar you can learn to time the entry and turn into the throw left to right.

for no gi harai or uchi mata to harai, do you suggest using a wizzer or underhook?

[@slobodanaleksic2514]

How does one even perform these techniques with an underhook? Wouldnt that turn out to be more lika O-goshi or Uki-goshi?

[@rye-bread5236]

If this is harai goshi what is the version (no gi) where you have under and overhook, you finish the same except you don't swing the leg? Like you just put your leg down and trip them over it? I don't know what it's called but i see it in mma all the time. Olympic judoka and soon to be PFL world champion mma lightweight, kayla Harrison uses it.

I'm not sure, but could it be Tai otoshi you are describing?

@@rye-bread5236 I am certain it will. You may also want to take a look at Kouchi gari and Ouchi gari for when you're clinching close to the net. Not that I'm an expert by any means, but they seem useful for those situations.

@@larsjrgensen9984 I have no idea what those names mean. I know seoi nage and uchi mata. Or as in wrestling we call it hook leg throw and shoulder throw. I'll check them out. As a wrestler and bjj practioner I've always admired judo.

[@kenji10p]

Isn’t the lower calf style harai goshi in this vid basically a tai otoshi? Love the vids man, thanks

[@mfp5585]

I think that is called ashi guruma. Tai o toshi keeps the foot on the ground. Ashi guruma with a high leg above the knees is called o guruma.

[@fullcontrol1519]

I think for a guruma you just step with left leg next to right and fast rotate , its similar but not the same . This is rotational harai goshi

[@YamatoXion]

Tai otoshi - you block the foot. Harai goshi - you reap the foot.

[@ForzaTerra89]

4:15 - dominant position first Can someone explain to me what that is?

[@brockstrong451]

Usually when he says "dominant position" both partners have a collar grip, but whoever has the higher grip is more "dominant"

[@guitarfan84]

What’s the difference between this harai and a tai otoshi?

[@kenkongermany7860]

There are a few. In Tai otoshi your lower leg gives his lower leg a little push right above it's foot. It there is leg contact at all. Tai otoshi is a standing barrage on the ground, like ashi guruma is in the air. The tai otoshi position when stretching the leg mainly is a power source for your grip standing sideways to him. On migi t.o. your right elbow could rest in his left armpit like in some tsuri goshi versions - to feel this priniple very clear.

[@vladmirlenin9749]

technically they're two very different thows, if you want to get all traditional tai otoshi is 'te-waza' which means 'hand techniques' that means the throw is all in your hands, and it is, your (blocking) leg, is only their to *block their leg from stepping over, their is leg/leg contact and a bit of a 'bump' midthrow but the whole throw happens in the hands, whereas in harai goshi is 'koshi-waza' or 'hip techniques' you actually are lifting the guy onto your hip to throw him and the leg sweeps up to block a high step around, but realy, he should be on your hip

[@kenanpalangic7539]

In my opinion 1:50 leans more towards O Guruma/Ashi Guruma and perhaps a version of Tai Otoshi. But anyway, a very informative presentation, thanks for sharing! 🙂

[@shreeoam8799]

Do you have any type of interaction with japanese judokas?

[@Shigashi84]

Yes sometimes. especially when i go train over there. But havent in a few years.
