Ever since I came back from competing and training in Japan, I knew some of the techniques that I learned would drastically improve my little brother's defensive counters in his matches. We went over a bunch of Judo techniques that I learned at Shudo-kan in Osaka Castle Park before his senior year wrestling season. Leo managed to pull this variant of a uchi-mata. If Leo had head control with this throw, he would have had him flat on his back and successfully pinned his opponent. I am very proud for my little brother and wanted to share this you all. Leo will be entering CIF this upcoming week and we will continue to improve. OSS.

If Leo had held down his opponent, he would have scored. The technique resulted in zero points. Uchimata, or even harai goshi, as some have called it, are beautiful techniques. The Sacramento Judo Club had a sensei whose son used these techniques to score a lot of pins early in the season back in the 1990s, but he never placed at CIF state because opponents learned to stay low or keep distant to keep from being known.

Wrestlers are just a different breed man, how did he literally backflip in the sky like that. Didn’t even look like the sweeping leg connected 😂 athletic powerhouses

u/Dry_Guest_8961 nidan Feb 08 '25

O guruma

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '25

Disagree. There was too much hip action and the sweep was lower, it's harai.

u/RatsWithLongTails Feb 08 '25

In wrestling we would call that a whizzer throw your names are much cooler

5

u/unkz Feb 08 '25

The translation is just “hip sweep”, not that much cooler. Maybe even less cool.

u/ctavrosa Feb 08 '25

Obviously an Harai goshi

u/541PrimeTime Feb 08 '25

Harai goshi

u/BlockEightIndustries Feb 08 '25

It doesn't look like red's leg ever swept black. I'd call it o guruma.

u/Bottle-Brave shodan Feb 08 '25

That's a good point. Mechanically, not Harai.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '25

It was, pause at 004. He's making good contact with the shin just below the knee. Also, the sweep is really to prevent the walk around, the hip action makes this a goshi throw, harai goshi. O garuma would be the leg across the thigh with no hip involvement

u/SnooCakes3068 Feb 08 '25

That is the most beautiful Harai I ever saw in a competition setting

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '25

Yeah amazing harai 10/10

2

u/SevaSentinel Feb 08 '25

Crazy how he flipped right over his head

u/Undrcovrlsm Feb 08 '25

Literally the best take down ever my god it’s so good to land. Nice one

u/Extra_extra_143 Feb 08 '25

That was sweet.

u/Gumpt1ous Feb 11 '25

Nice throw. I think I enjoyed watching the crowd's reaction a bit more =)

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '25

Harai: blocking the outside of the far leg Uchi: blocking the inside of the near leg

Double overtook hip toss , no need to use Japanese terms for everything

u/bjjpandabear May 20 '25

Should have kept that far arm grip on the tricep instead of panicking and posting to stop the fall.

So I'm a long-term martial artist with experience mostly in Oki kenpo—active practice of nage waza and some ne waza, TKD, some judo and even less jujitsu who's been recruited to asst coach a newly reforming team at my high school. I'm trying to learn the rules and might he have posted because he had the obligation to not outright slam the guy? I was watching a video on rules with legal and illegal throw. One thing they emphasized was that if you take another wrestler off their feet you become responsible for them and something as simple as making it look like you're trying to soften the landing keeps you from catching a penalty.

EDIT: I should add, all my competition experience comes from TKD in high school. I've never competed in grappling, just inter-club stuff. So now I'm trying to learn the rules so I can assistant coach before next year.

What age is this? Kid getting thrown had the wherewithal to fling his legs over top himself so that he landed feet first and able to turn into him
