Uki Waza-The best judo takedown for BJJ

Uki waza (floating technique) is the best takedown for a BJJ practitioners or newaza experts. It’s a great takedown that will put you in a dominant position if you land it, and if opponent defends, you’re still in a great position on the ground to begin attacks there. #bjj #judo #newaza #jiujitsu

Love this one. I get to send the bigger guys flying, feels good :) A lot of times I can step right into mount.

[@mastermindmartialarts]

You'll definitely end up on top. Most likely in scarf hold ( kesa gatame) if some correctly. It's a great move.

"But they'll just take your back...." "Not if you do it right."

[@mastermindmartialarts]

It’s the truth. As long as you attack your throws with confidence, getting your back taken is very unlikely

[@PAULYPOLLACCIA]

Great move!

[@mastermindmartialarts]

Thank you

[@ebuc-lx1er]

That’s a good move, I have to try that

[@mastermindmartialarts]

Easy move too. Definitely practice it

[@SaintDamain]

Trying this at open mat tomorrow.

[@mastermindmartialarts]

Let me know how it goes

[@SaintDamain]

@@mastermindmartialarts Most definitely will do.

[@mastermindmartialarts]

@@SaintDamain The key with this one is to get your opponent moving a bit, they almost give it to you

[@SaintDamain]

@@mastermindmartialarts Moving towards the gripped sleeve, correct?

[@mastermindmartialarts]

@@SaintDamain yes. Some people pull towards the lapel grip but I don’t because doing it the other way puts me in a perfect position on the ground to continue my ground attacks.
