Uchimata Bjj stance

[@StillRolling]

This is normally how I end up having to do my Uchi Mata in BJJ. I desperately want to hit the more dynamic version where you sweep to the base leg but everyone I train with knows I want to do it so they immediately get low and put their butt way back or pull guard. I'm working on disguising it better 🤙 thank you for the great videos

[@Shigashi84]

fake and snap them down. Snap them down enough times and they wont drop their hips as much. Then you can launch them.

[@StillRolling]

@@Shigashi84 👍 I've been cycling in Tomoe Nage to make them be afraid to lean over to much

[@Shigashi84]

@@StillRolling If you can use that BJJ stance uchimata and the tomoe together well, you will be so dangerous. fake tomoe, uchimata, fake uchimata tomoe.

[@mrv1271]

This version of uchimata is very much what you see in competition judo. Unorthodox but realistic. Awesome stuff.

[@bunnyazorth945]

When I ask other people they are only able to explain things in very vague terms like " low & defensive BJJ stance", Judo is too "upright" yada yada. However, you actually can break it down to accurate knowledge and reasons why- protect your hip, get inside control, how to unbalance first before attempting the throw. Your information is greatly helpful and your insights are valuable. Thank you, Mr. Higashi. I rarely see someone like you that can be both a competent fighter and an amazing coach.

[@Shigashi84]

Thank you!!! I hope you can apply a lot of these ideas. It took me a long time to learn how to teach. I was doing all this stuff without knowing what i was doing in my competition days. I am glad i can help.

EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR LONG TIME. I AM TALL AND CANNOT GET MY HIPS LOWER THAN OPPONENTS WHEN HE IS IN THIS HALF SQUAT POSITION. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@callumthejudo696]

I am tall and use uchi mata in judo and mma it's my favourite technique try to understand ukes balance/center off gravity using your arms to create off balancing (lapel/deep over hook) to allow your hips legs and body to do the rest of the work. Often times to execute the perfect technique all of these things will work together in conjuction. Always get under your partners centre of gravity after breaking his posture you will finish many techniques like this. Hope this can help you out abit.

[@nicocontreras5366]

Very nice detail, also this 2 step sometimes I try it in judo when they are low, in BJJ I get mostly uchimata as a single leg defense.

[@Shigashi84]

perfect time for that! I love sumi also against the single leg .

[@omarwari8269]

yamachita the best spécialist utchi mata

[@BinhtriVu]

I'm still trying to figure out how to land uchimata to counter the single-leg on a consistent basis. It's hard at times because you're not quite under their center of gravity so I've resorted to either grabbing their belt or using an overhook to get kuzushi while pulling the opposite side arm

[@nicocontreras5366]

@@BinhtriVu Leg Uchimata, I am 1,78 and 90 kilos and have done this counter against a partner who´s 113 kilos and a little bit shorter than me but stockier. The key as my BJJ coach says (for the ground but still can steal his phrase) is get the oponent between movements, I grip over the back but the most important thing for me is to use the momentum, I guess is called , when my mate is entering to the single, that way it will feel almost effortless, if you stop the guy and then enter uchimata will feel way harder. I have more legs than torso and prefer leg uchimata with some angle with shorter guys or guys that are lower, the japanese way attacking deep doesn´t work for me very well.

Great technique, excellent execution. I was wondering if you can make a video about a Judo counter to guard pulling . I'm doing BJJ but I'm coming from a Judo background and hate when people pull guard.

[@marcelodiaz5006]

as a bjj practitioner, i hate the pull guard too. Unrealistic and the stand up game it losses

[@brosechannel]

As a BJJ guy who pulls guard, you should look up guard pull interceptions. If you anticipate the pull you can explode into a pass to blast through it.

[@tarasbulba77]

You might want to also show the more leggy version of uchi mata and ken ken. The up-the-middle (taka) version you do is pretty athletic. Maybe also the uchi mata fake/fail to sumi?

[@Shigashi84]

That is a beautiful combination. Thank you for the suggestion.

[@GravisTKD]

@@Shigashi84 I'll be eagerly awaiting anything on that as well. I'm finally starting to play with some uchi mata combinations and explore ways to alter my engagement based on stances, proportion differences (I have long legs, so my hips are high for my height), etc.

[@KT-ql8ms]

I'm also wondering the same thing. How do you generate lift in the BJJ style Uchi Mata

[@lukaperic7321]

I get no lift at all when doing the uchimata. Love the throw but struggling with it

[@RyFo116]

do you cross train BJJ at all? if not, why and do you have an interest do so?

[@Shigashi84]

We have a lot of BJJ guys coming through the dojo. I do a lot of newaza with those guys. I cross train a little here and there. I used to go to the Gregor Gracie's competition class (he is amazing). Got a purple from Danaher. Etc etc. But I do mostly Judo.

[@yellowgingerbreadman810]

@Shintaro Higashi im having trouble with hip placement. am i supposed to put the side of my hip on their belt knot? or am i supposed be square with the partner? (if i try to be square it feels super uncomfortable on my arm on the lapel and my lower back, the pressure feels like im overturning my body to be square if that makes sense cause my arm is still holding their lapel and blocking me from turning a full 180). thank you for helping!

[@isa100kg]

Hey! Uchi mata will be a little bit different for everyone. For this uchi mata, you don't need to square up with the partner. Usually, you'll feel off balance if there is not enough pull, or kuzuchi. When you practice this, really focus on the head and sleeve control. A good cue is to always get your partner's head below yours before you finish the throw.

Greetings, I've seen people do uchi mata on either leg of the opponent, (both in tutorials and judo compilations), for example right leg on the opponent's right leg, and in other times right leg under his left leg. Is there any difference in nomenclature or are they both uchi mata?

[@erikw6501]

Right to left or center is called uchimata, right to right inside is Hane Goshi, right to outside of right is Harai Goshi.
