Unleashing the POWER of Uchi Mata (HIGH ELBOW Technique Revealed!)

[@daleaidenletian]

First! Love this variation. Way easier to hit than the classical one. Thank you for making this video!

A high elbow???? What would the Kodokan say? BTW, this is how I've always done mine. You can show the elbow down version all day but the elbow up wins shiai.

I think it works because of one fundamental reason - moving the elbow up makes is so that you are not blocked by your OWN shoulder during the throw. The classic uchimata rarely works (even less if uke is shorter than you), because you are literally blocking your rotation with your own shoulder.
