Uchi Mata Vs Hane Goshi Vs Harai Goshi || What's The Difference?

[@sevasentinel4146]

This past week, I missed Uchi Mata and did Harai Goshi on accident, and then my club mate missed it and did Hane Goshi on accident. How coincidental that you upload this, but as always, your instruction is appreciated.

Yeah, I describe my Judo and turning around, swinging the leg and hoping for the best...usually I hit Harai, but occasionally I get the Uchi Mata...in randori/competition I just don't think it really matters what you hit, as long as it works!!

I like that music playing in the background

[@Tryathlete77]

Thank you for the clarification of all 3. 🙏

Your welcome Sean...I hope it was helpful!

Great breakdown! Working on getting better with my throws and especially my terminology.

[@TheJudoWayofLife]

Thank you...yeah, it's not easy. I think I'd been learning Judo for about 20 years before really starting to study the names and terminology more diligently...have fun with it!!

Great video watching this as a Jiu-Jitsu white belt still a little stuck on the uchi mata though

[@rexhamilton6381]

Thanks for posting. My question is why/when you would attempt one throw over the other? What positions set one up over the other? Uchi mata seems to be the favorite technique used in competition. Or do you just go for it and do whatever throw you end up in position to do?

[@cucciafr68]

Basically it comes down to preference, but what usually happens is you enter for your attack and one of those throws is the result. It depends on where you actually connect or how uke is reacting to your entry.

[@TheJudoWayofLife]

The are different ways of setting up each throw, and part of that comes down to how your opponent reacts and your personal preference. I am biased towards Harai Goshi from the top grip, so in comp would most likely stick to that...in randori, where I want to experiment, I'll just go for if and occasionally hit the Uchi Mata/Hane Goshi, because if I get it "wrong" it doesn't matter!

Great answer, cheers Frank!

​@@TheJudoWayofLifeI would like to differ with you slightly. Basically there are 2 types of uchimata (Ashi uchimata and koshi uchimata) in both cases the knee is pointing downward. Ashi version is more centrifugal on a bent over uki. This is the one you did. Your Hane Goshi is what I would call Koshi Uchimata. In Hane Goshi your knee should be pointing outward not downward.
