Nice to see the extra detailed explanation and examples for ko uchi gari that gets left out so often.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Glad you liked them!

One of my senseis was lucky to train with the poineer of judo in my country and he always loved that hand detail for kouchi gari.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

We love it too!

Amazing teaching quality! Feels like I'm right there in class (and taking the Arizona flag as a hint, I'm 6000 miles away, in Argentina). Thank for this great content!

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thank you so much. Riki sensei has been teaching exactly like this for quite a while, and we want to preserve his teachings for those that can't come to class. Much more to come!

Great video on giving useful detail tips on Ko-Uchi-Gari. Keep them coming.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Riki sensei's teaching style makes it easy for us to make videos. Many more to come!

What a great video. Really appreciate 2:30-2:50, never knew how important rotating the hips to multiply force on Ko-Uchi is. Appreciate the details in the sensei's explanations, practical, down to earth, and useful. Thank you for taking the time to record and upload this.

Thank you Dan!
