[@jongler9775]

This really is awesome content. It gets me really eager to go back to the mats everytime. I have to wait until next week, sadly.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thank you so much! Please share with others so Riki sensei's teachings can reach more people. This channel will never be monetized or anything like that, we just want to preserve original, traditional judo.

Beautiful instruction, thank you and subscribed

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thank you so much! Much work has gone into this channel. We hope to preserve Riki sensei's teachings for generations to come!

[@youniskurdi2604]

Thankyou sensei you are the only person to explain between both throws I’ve been doing kubi nage this whole time

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks for watching! Please spread the word so we can help Riki sensei's teachings reach more people.

[@sevasentinel4146]

This is my favorite koshi waza; thanks for sharing as always.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Absolutely!

[@Elriuhilu]

Now this is the kind of thing I've been looking for. So many judo videos are aimed at the sport version and the advice is situational or confusing, but I want to know how to do the baseline, "traditional" judo/jujutsu techniques correctly to understand why they are effective. It's easy to adjust aspects of your technique to fit your current situation if you understand how it works and what you are trying to achieve by doing it.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

100%!

[@CharlesMartellus]

I love your videos! Thanks for making new ones!

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks so much Martellus!

[@nicocontreras5366]

I always thought the difference was grabbing in the shoulder controlling the head versus controlling the neck directly. Thanks for the great video.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks for watching Nico!

[@gajorg69]

Wow beat demos and explanation on one of my favourite throws. Great video. Most others don't do koshi guruma correctly.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thank you. I hope you enjoy and find useful all of our presentations. Arigatou, Riki yori

[@junheceta268]

Once again I have learned something new and anazing thanks to you. I had no idea Koshi-guruma and Kubi-nage were two separate and distinct throws. So all the time I thought I was doing a Koshi-guruma it was actually Kubi-nage I was performing. Kubi-nage has always been, for me, a randori/contest friendly alternative to Ogoshi. Several of my students (the ladies in particular) have enjoyed great success using a left-handed version off a right-hand grip. A grand and powerful throw indeed. If I might clarify: Koshi guruma involves rolling uke over my back with the arm around the neck? Therefore in a way it resembles Soto-makikomi? Can't wait to pra tice this throw. Domo arigato! 🥋🙏🙂

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thanks so much Jun! Riki sensei told us that the kihon-no-kata is with the arm around the neck, but any grip that accomplishes this wheeling motion would still be considered koshi-guruma. It's kubi-nage where the arm must be around the neck, from my understanding. Hope that helps!

[@junheceta268]

@@RikiDojoUSA Yes that gelps a great deal. Many thanks! 🥋🙏

[@danle3181]

Not over your back. Over your hip ! It is koshi waza. And once again, kubi nage is NOT a judo throw.

[@JIUJITSUMAN22]

​@@danle3181there is the extra Go kyo wazas. That are recognized by Kodokan also. O soto otoshi, morte gari, kukichi taoshi, kibisu gaeshi, and others. Incluiding kubi Nague.

[@danle3181]

@@JIUJITSUMAN22 Kubi nage is more the fact of Kawaishi who somewhat tried to modify the Kodokan teaching method by not calling throws by their names but with something like first hip throw, second hip throw and so on or by modifying techniques and call them otherwise. Kubi nage is a Koshi guruma variation for the Kodokan, they don't really make the distinction. Shin Meisho no waza : Morote gari • Kuchiki taoshi • Kibisu gaeshi • Uchi mata sukashi • Daki âge • Tsubame gaeshi • Ko uchi gaeshi • O uchi gaeshi • O soto gaeshi • Harai goshi gaeshi • Uchi mata gaeshi • Hane goshi gaeshi • Kani basami • O soto makikomi • Kawazu Gake • Ippon seoi nage • Uchi mata makikomi • Sode tsurikomi goshi * • Harai makikomi * . See, there is NO kubi nage anywhere.

[@Emmermacher]

Interesting video. Before I saw this here, I saw the Kodokan's Koshi - Guruma. Your Kubi-Nage is Kodokan 's Koshi-Guruma. That's confusing me a little. Especially for exams it's good to throw the "right" one.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Before Kodokan Judo, there was Kito Ryu Jujutsu and many other Jujutsu Ryuha. Names were sometimes different depending on ryuha. For Judo exams stick with Kodokan names, learn more about origins of waza.

[@danle3181]

Kubi nage is NOT a judo throw. It is not in the Gokyo. I don't understand why people continue to "teach" it in judo because when I see a kubi nage on video, it is often a koshi guruma. Remember that before the technique, there is the principle.

[@danle3181]

Kodokan do not make the difference between both throws. "Kubi nage" is simply considered a variation of Koshi guruma. So, there is no Kubi nage in the Kodokan.

[@crazybat99]

Thank you for the explanation. How would you classify kubi nage? Still a koshi waza?

[@RikiDojoUSA]

You are very welcome! And yes.

[@Thelastronin357]

Now this is a sensei

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Agreed!

[@sfkingalpha]

Koshi guruma grip, harai goshi leg.

[@lucatraverso6891]

👍👍👍

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Thank you!

[@JIUJITSUMAN22]

So Koshi guruma is a concept. Not a specific throw.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

It's a specific throw, but depends on who you ask!

[@danle3181]

Kubi nage is NOT an official judo throw, it is not part of the Gokyo.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Many such cases!

[@WGWGWGW3]

It Is just the contrary....
