Utsuri-Goshi: The Ultimate Counter against All Turn Throws

[@ComboMuster]

Judo is not only a physical sport... apart from making you extremely fit and disciplined it develops your intelligence also (what technique to use, quickly switch over to another if that is countered - fast thinking within a few milliseconds). I love this sport.

[@IzunaDestruction]

Yeah there is a savage twist for uke during airtime. Unprepared toris that lack control will slam incredibly hard unprepared ukes that do not know what to expect. Better start slow as you did, getting the control and lifting part right. This throw was much easier and less traumatic when leg grabs were legal, since you could lift with te-guruma and easily step across with your hips in uke's descending phase. As a pure hip throw in classic style it must have a very explosive lift phase to work in order to have a weightless uke in mid-air when you pass your hips across, very similar concept to a power clean in weight lifting. You launch the barbell and duck under it while it is still floating. Can't do it by force alone. Tori also must have good grip control in order to do not completely destroy uke as he impacts with the mat. Very useful tool against hip-throwers.

[@Desertleaf]

Every throw has an equilibrium point where both individuals are neutral. Whoever gets the motion first, steals the opportunity.

[@jestfullgremblim8002]

That is kinda not true. You sre supposed to break your opponent's posture before attacking. If they are stable when you attack, you'll either get a sloppy throw or fail (which could mean that you got countered or your technique was simply defended)

[@thedogrunner]

This fills in a gap I've had for a while. Thank you coach.

[@stevesstuff552]

I must have practiced this hundreds of times as a junior. The club I was a member of used to perform at various fetes and this was one of the techniques in our repertoire. My uke for these events was left handed so it suited me well. I just wish I’d learnt it both sides. And, yes, I had an occasional success in competition with it, too.

@@rvssianvodka if you have a look at what he does, break it down, you will see that it can. The first "throw" by the yellow belt is clearly something that happens.... a mix btw attempting a headlock and a throw.

I think this is one of the most painful throws to be the uke, especially if the Tori throws you with force

[@alexambro4998]

The actual throw is still an o-goshi, so tori has a lot of control

[@dragondesoupe5422]

Never throw with force. This shows bad technical skill.

[@branni6538]

With the old judo mats every throw hurts. Lol.......... I can still feel the shock waves over 20 years later. This is a bad one for sure. I got nailed with a taiotoshi(excuse spelling) and it felt like being hit by a truck.

[@jeremydistinguin2838]

I definitifely have to try this one during my next judo lesson. Thanks a lot 😊

[@Yupppi]

I don't know how I only recently discovered this one. It's one of the "manlier" judo throws where you simply pick someone up, spin them and put them on their back. The partner fully knows they've been had and you outpowered them, manhandled them. I like the emphasis on it being a lift into ogoshi. That makes it seem much more controlled and easier for uke than just picking them up and slamming them down.

[@endurojimmy3109]

I used to do this throw quite a bit, it looks complicated, but for me it came so naturally, I would often counter with it and not know what I had done until someone would say nice utsuru goshi. To get the initial lift I would assist with my thigh by standing on one leg, then as I placed it back down this helped to switch the hip and use a hari goshi type motion. This worked for me anyway.

[@cockroachdances6345]

Sometimes I ask myself if martial arts attended to grappling are really less dangerous than striking ones

[@nammather4920]

Grappling is generally less dangerous in comps, It's coz you tap out, n get thrown onto mats often in a fairly controlled way. That being said Ive had ligaments torn, tendons n muscles torn n ribs broken from judo nd bjj, nd I have a friend who broke his neck in wrestling... so still dangerous but you shudnt get CTE like in striking. Tho outside of comps on the street with no rules, instead of tapping out youre getting choked out=death or unconsciousness, youre limbs torn apart often in irreparable ways or slammed onto concrete, furniture, glass or even off a bridge etc etc... also often=death or serious damage, another friend has a part of his skull covered by a titanium plate coz a judoka threw him in the street... Imo if you have a choice youd rather take a good punch from a boxer in the street than a solid throw from a wrestler or judoka let alone a neck crank or rear naked choke! Grappling is no joke... just ask the samurai, spartans, knights nd steppe nomads!

[@liamsomeone6333]

It depends on what you mean by dangerous. Competing in a grappling martial art is a lot less dangerous than a striking martial art in terms of brain damage, although there are many other injuries that are more prevalent in grappling. If you're talking about how dangerous it is in a fight though, it depends again. I'd rather be taken down onto grass than receive a head kick, but I'd rather get punched really hard than get thrown on concrete with a throw like the one in the video full force. Danger =/= efficacy though, the best is to have a combination of both

My favourite judo throw is the Tome-nage. It's like Ryu throw on Street Fighter, super flashy. However, I seldom tried it on my judo years due to the risk of becoming a kick in the nuts.

[@notme6028]

We do a drill at our Dojo for any sacrifice technique (Tomoe-Nage, variations of similar throws), we have the Uke just do the initial fall forward and the Tori just practices getting his foot placed horizontally on the pelvis. Once you’re used to getting the foot placement on the pelvis, it mixes in with the throw as a full motion so you avoid destroying your opponents nuts, it becomes muscle memory to avoid the balls, also sometimes you can do the same throw but place your shin on the pelvis and once their shoulders go past your eyes just kick your leg up and you launch them in sort of a catapult manner, it’s also a lot less risky for the family gems.

[@willieluv]

Great 👍 video thanks 🙏

[@thedopesickshow]

I like tani otoshi with my feet perpendicular to my opponent’s and a body lock as my favorite counter. It’s been my most successful throw in bjj competition, but I’ve also used a single right hand on the lapel baiting a seonage and if they take it immediately counter with tani otoshi. It’s just unfortunate if done wrong it can lead to catastrophic injury which is common to happen. Our only 2 major injuries in the nearly 5 years I’ve trained were tani otoshi. One was a 5’4 brown belt who’s 70 years old and 135 pounds but ironically he caused the injury on a 6’2 230 pound man.

[@lucascastro2802]

bodylock to tani otoshi is great, one of my highest percent takedowns as well

It is great to do it when your opponent somehow makes it clear he or she will go to a Koshi Guruma or O Goshi. I usually bring my knees down and set up for a Utsuri Goshi. If your opponent is lightweight, it is so easy to lift up and than apply O Goshi.

[@cookiekiller8563]

[@jacobprimeaux2652]

I notice that in the initial throw (Ogoshi?), the hand is around the waist. However in the subsequent examples of Utsuri-goshi, Uke is putting his arm around the neck and back rather than beneath the arm and around the waste. Is there a practical difference there? Can Utsuri-goshi still be performed if the initial move has the attacker's arm beneath the counterer's arm?

[@Tinky1rs]

It's mostly preference based on how tall you are relative to your opponent. For the counter move you can still use your right arm, though it might be less ideal for the initial lifting phase.
