It's been almost three years since our first harai-goshi video, and now we're better at editing. Riki sensei showed us how to do harai-goshi (払腰 - sweeping hip) during judo class on 3-16-2023.

Thank you for the lesson, Riki Sensei! Greetings from Brazil!

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Obrigado!

[@MatthieuSCHREK]

Easy to follow. Hard to do. Thank you for the invaluable tips.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

You are so welcome! We appreciate your time and attention.

[@alexmortel2350]

Always a good day to see a new video. The knowledge, stories, and friends are what make training at the Riki Dojo great.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Lots more coming soon! Thanks for the demos!

[@craigberbling1812]

What a wonderful throw. Thank you for teaching.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks Craig!

[@michaelsobczyk9443]

One of my favorite wazas!! Seeing it broken down this way makes it easy to understand and practice for continual improvement. Thank you for this!!

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks a bunch!

[@1987jock]

These videos are so awesome, thanks for sharing them. And the sensei seems so knowledgable and humble and calm.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks for watching! We had to ask Riki sensei for YEARS before he agreed to let us film any of his classes, and it's been nearly three years of work to get the quality up to this point. We're never going to monetize the channel or sell these videos or anything, we just want to spread good judo as it was taught to Riki sensei. Please share so that knowledge can reach more people!

[@1987jock]

@@RikiDojoUSA Well I'm glad he agreed! Thank him for me, this is probably the most useful judo channel I've found. And I love the way you seem to look at judo. A lot of people want to commercialise it, to make shiai the most important aspect, I don't think it should be, personal development and mutual benefit is the most important part, in my opinion. And thanks to all the students as well - it's great to see how each person adapts a throw for themselves

[@RikiDojoUSA]

If you could email him at [e-mail] I bet he'd be super stoked!

@@RikiDojoUSA I've been a fan for a year or two now. I really love his gentle teaching style and his insights that can only come from deep experience. I click excitedly whenever I see a new video going up!

[@rjacob06]

I really appreciate the advice on this throw. I am also having issues with Hane Goshi, so I hope we will see an up to date video on it as well.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks for watching! This will probably be the last 'updated' video...I have quite the list of video editing ahead of me for lots of techniques we haven't covered yet.

[@reginaldbron7097]

Harai-Goshi. Great video! Informative and educational as always. We're very fortunate you share knowledge and experience with world. Arigatō Riki Sensei!

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks so much for saying so! We appreciate the support.

[@CharlesMartellus]

We definitely need some more 2.0’s

[@RikiDojoUSA]

This very well might be the last of them...it was only this and osoto-gari that we had filmed twice. I have dozens of other techniques filmed that I need to get around to editing down.

[@cvz8849]

Absolutely beautiful demonstration. Thank you Sensei.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks for watching!

[@LuisDiasdeOliveira]

Another great video, such a great channel that supports our learning journey! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks Luis!

[@MrBluemanworld]

It so happens that the supposed leg version is sharper and better. It's really supposed to an Uki Goshi with a leg sweep. My teacher's teacher was one of the originals 10th Dans.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Riki sensei actually told us about soto-ashi-harai during this harai-goshi class, but that got left on the editing room floor.

[@lucatraverso6891]

Super video ✌️👌👍

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks Luca!

[@junheceta268]

Delighted to see and study a new video from your dojo community. I have always had difficulty personally with this waza-your video and Riki-sense’s guidance have revealed to me what I have been doing wrong all this time. Domo arigatou!🥋🙏🙂

[@RikiDojoUSA]

So glad to hear it! I thought 'this one's for Jun' as I pushed the publish button :) Lots more coming, I'm getting back into the swing of it.

Great video as always!

Thank you so much! Please share so we can help Riki sensei's teachings reach more people.

[@nicocontreras5366]

I made some of the mistakes you named, harai goshi is my favourite koshi waza and took me a lot to get the feeling because of that tsurite hand feeling weird and trying to go too low like in some other techniques. Also is way easier to do harai goshi with a high grip instead of classic kumikata but I leave that for randori or a tournament. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Nico, we appreciate your support!
