Your Guide for Defending Judo's Biggest Throw, Uchi Mata

[@kingbyrd.1512]

What an elegant way to counter it! It looks so cool and yet simple while obviously not not being simple to perform.

[@a.g.3372]

Thanks for showing a summary of the techniques at the very beginning.

That head dip to shift your weight is brilliant. I will definitely be incorporating this into my Jiu Jitsu takedowns.

Just got back into judo after 5 years off, these videos are really helpful.

I tend to ride the uchimata and weight his hopping foot (or at least mess up his hopping timing) so he can't kenken. Then I shoot my supporting leg down between his and throw Sumi Gaeshi. If he is still trying in vain to finish the throw you can use his force to roll right into Tate Shiho. I know there is a risk of the ref not understanding that I stopped his technique and countered but I'm way past my athlete days. I have seen IJF refs score this for the counterattack but not a great strategy on the game side of things.

[@trevorroskewich]

Hey Nick - congrats on your blue belt promotion!

[@LuisVLowned]

Sensei, isn't there a front flip or a backflip counter to the uchi mata? Can we see you show us a demonstration 😊

Would what Firas Zahabi calls "web guard" work as a counter to uchi mata,?

[@ahfmobile]

Cool judogi 🙂. Skills not bad also 😁👍

[@VMDRUMSANDPERCUSSION]

Shintaro, can you please tell me what gi you are wearing?

[@TheMap1997]

Nick got some beautiful hair. Even my girlfriend is jealous

[@AjaychinuShah]

I feel you are mixing Jujutsu and Judo without warning us? 😢

[@GrinningNimbus]

Bjj and judo is all jujutsu

[@horiturk333]

Ju Do is Ju Jutsu 😂

[@AjaychinuShah]

With an average I.Q. of -10,000 in this USA, well there y'all go.

[@dustencross357]

Super secret defence: Don't have on a gee

[@AjaychinuShah]

Ghhee or gee ?

[@horiturk333]

You fighting naked?

[@arantxaurrutia0]

Another way to stop UchiMata is being taller than your opponent, or having longer legs😂 It doesn't apply for japanese judokas
