[@xworks7]

This actually one of the best Uchimata videos out there, indeed covering the most important aspects IMHO, Good position and Setups... About the "hane-goshi" topic, I think is right when someone wanna be precise, but one thing is Basic Judo (The one you have to learn - Ideal model), and another is Your Judo (The one is better for your body, and is more effective to throw, even when is not exactly as the textbook one)... I just remember one "tip" from a Sensei years ago... "Go for the farther leg, if your opponent moves away, you caught him with uchimata... if He doesn't, you caught him with Hane goshi... Anyway, that's an ippon". Greeting from an Uchimata thrower from Colombia, awesome work, Higashi Sensei.

[@Shigashi84]

I love watching a video and realizing how much I don't know about something. Best break down I've seen and I love the " what if they do this" scenarios. It's never as straightforward as a single technique 🤙

[@Shigashi84]

Yes!! Once you learn how to make the shape of the technique, you have to look at RvL RvR. Then Positional advantage. Reactions that can hekp you, Then the main defensive lines. Im glad I can help.

This throw has been super elusive for me in my judo journey. I drilled it like crazy and learned from a high level guy. I came back to my original coach (who always kicks my ass) and nailed him with Uchimata. We were both amazed. I don't do judo anymore but, I'll never for that. Another great instructional.

All throws need to be taught like this instead of in isolation! Love the instruction. I would really appreciate it if you could do a flow sequence one on tai otoshi since everyone breaks down u hi mata. With a detailed breakdown of the position set ups and potential options, for sneaky sleeve variations if thr grips present themselves, if not into a more traditional tai otoshi sequence. Thanks!

I've been doing Jiu Jitsu for a few years now, and your channel has really made me want to get back to training Judo. Thank you very much. P.S.: At 5:00 is it still Uchi Mata if you make contact on Uke's far side shin? It's a beautiful execution!

nice one. uchimata was my best throw and then one day it wouldn't work anymore. a sixth dan told me the same happened to him. uchimata could not really be reproduced in practice throwing but in randori. rather it was a feeling to. done proper it bloody hurts. winds the heart. osotogari is another that can only be done fully on crash mats. keep up the good judo work.

[@NovaEmotion]

3 Questions for Shintaro Sensei : 1. Who is the greatest Judoka of all time in you opinion ? 2. Everybody has it's own crown technique, which one is yours ? 3. Why in judo the captures by legs were canceled, what do you think this is connected with? Thank you

[@Shigashi84]

Tough to say. Since so much determines a great Judoka. 1. Maybe some of the best in the world are the ones who are the knowledgeable coaches who teach some of these champions? I know Mr Iwabuchi from Kokushikan HS is a legend. 30+ years buiding the foundation of every Kokushikan Champ that walked through that program! If you are saying competitor, I like Koga and Inoue. I grew up watching them so they have a special place in my heart. 2. I actually dont have one technique. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how they string together. Suzuki once hit a sasae kouchi deashi once in the all japan. Things like that! 3. Judo is at the mercy of the IOC. Judo and Wrestling were starting to look too similar. I think that is all there is to it. But Judo is Judo. Its about training the mind body and soul. Regardless of the Rules and Techniques that govern it and is every changing.

[@orjwan8034]

@@Shigashi84 Does the IOC also control the judo championships? if not why not allow leg grabbing there or at least in other tournaments? because leg attacks has proven to be very effective weapon in grappling,self defense, and mma, banning them makes judokas less well rounded and easier to take down by wrestlers which affects how people perceive the art since how the martial art stands against other styles in mma and self defense is now the standard which its judged.

[@vic910808]

Thanks for the tutorial. A question for sensei: Any advise on short people doing uchimata against taller opponents? For e.g. any specific type of uchimata is good for shorter judoka?

[@Shigashi84]

Bringing that head down is so important. But depending on how much taller the opponent is, there are some limitations. I was the shortest in the division when I used to fight 100kgs.

[@hifumiVAL]

If you're short you're gonna have to rely more on your hips to throw

Uchi Mata is both my favorite and most powerful move But if you lose position it's gonna be a bad consequence,

[@philipsmart3895]

Can you talk a bit about the grip, you're around the back of the collar, do you pull or is it all hips and leg?

[@GravisTKD]

Excellent material, sir (and thoroughly appreciated by this fellow who spent years before uchi mata even *kind of* worked). Question, however: I'm having a bit of trouble distinguishing between the two-step and three-step variations as demonstrated. They look similar in terms of the number of actual steps being taken. For the three-step version, that third "step" appears simply to be a backwards sweep/swing of the throwing leg (which would make it the same basic action with that leg as in the two-step version). Am I missing some crucial piece of the puzzle here? Perhaps you're typically putting your weight back on that foot very briefly when you usually execute it, thus creating a third step? Or perhaps it is simply called a "three-step" because it is just generally a longer/slower movement overall? Apologies if my inquiry is convoluted. Just want to make sure that I'm catching the subtleties that you want to convey.

[@Shigashi84]

Yes, you are right. For the 1 step uchimata, you take one step and throw on one. For the two and three step, the actual number of steps is the same, but the timing you load your opponent on your hip differs. When i Say two step uchimata, you load your opponent on the two count. On the three step uchimata, you load your opponent on the three count. I was a bit unclear on that. Hope this helps.

[@GravisTKD]

@@Shigashi84 excellent! That helps a lot. Thank you for the further explanation. Good timing, too, as I'm just about to head into practice :)

[@Stoiss]

Shintaro, could you do me a solid and tell me the main difference between a Hane-goshi (koshi-waza) and a Uchi-mata (Ashi-waza)? Cause all the lifting "uchi-matas" you made was actually hane-goshi, and the one legged ones were all Uchi-mata in my book. Lifting a person with the hip and the leg, is koshi-waza and cannot be an uchi-mata, especially when you are using the leg as you are. Not trying to be a hater here, cause it is a super good way of executing hane-goshi, but to prevent things from getting muddy online, i would prefer if things like this was clear for people instead of making a mashup of techniques. I hope you agree.

[@Shigashi84]

Hane goshi and uchimata are very similar techniques and yes, you can argue that I am doing hane goshi in the videos. You are right that, in these cases, the lines do get blurred. Perhaps I could have said "do hanegoshi first, and if you fail, you can finish with uchimata." But IMHO, I dont think it really matters. I hope you got more out of video than my semantic 'mistakes.'

[@Stoiss]

@@Shigashi84 I do agree most of the way. But by teaching, you are also a role model, and in that sense, it is very important that you have these things corrected. Otherwise people might go out in their own dojo and teach hane-goshi, and calling it uchi-mata. So we could call it a case of good Judo with the wrong name ;) And i really do get a lot out of your videos, and have done so for years. But being a teacher myself, i feel responsible for teaching the correct names for the correct techniques, otherwise it might bite me in the butt later :)

[@huchhoppla]

This is not entirely correct. There are different forms of (modern) uchi-mata. The classic form is completely ashi-waza, correct. As a right-sided judoka, you attack uke's left inner thigh with your leg. But, second, there is also an uchi-mata (called koshi-uchi-mata by non-japanese) where you sweep in the middle of Uke's legs and tori's hip does the lifting. And, third, there is Shintaro's version, where, as a right-sided judoka, you attack uke's right inner thigh. This version is very akin to hane-goshi but I think hane-goshi's attack is lower, more from the front and you do not go as much 'into' uke as in uchi-mata. Daigo writes in his book that if you lift uke with your leg and waist in a posture with a bend knee, it is hane-goshi. You can find more details in the Judo Masterclass Techniques series on uchi-mata by Sugai. Very useful video by the way!

[@williamharding1319]

I'm baffled. I went to a judo club in the same city for years and the sensei never gave such explanations. I always thought that was how judo was taught. Just try over and over again. Is it common for the sensei to give such detailed instructions during classes?

[@ArsenicApplejuice]

The club I go to it happens, admittedly not to the same quality. Shintaro is particularly gifted in teaching. But I’ve heard many places are like what you have described, with limited teaching.

[@williamharding1319]

ArsenicApplejuice that’s interesting to hear. Although I have an immense amount of affection for the club and the sensei, I feel like I lost years training and not really improving. I spent the first year gripping right handed with my left foot forward and nobody ever told me otherwise. Kumi kata was never a part of any instruction. I got tired of being thrown with Tai Otoshi and googled stances.

[@PianoPatterns123]

With thousands of people learning martial arts freely with KZbin, it makes you wonder how many people out there are dangerous. The thing about learning martial arts directly from an older experienced master is that as the master is creating potentially dangerous people, it is his responsibility to teach his students, humility, respect, helpfulness, and suppression of the ego. Bowing is one of the first steps in learning humility in a dojo, but there are many more rituals that could be used to help to shape the student into a responsible person. I find this approach lacking in many modern day martial art schools, especially MMA schools.
