Uchi-mata-makikomi

[SuicidalBarrelRoll]

I love soto makikomi! in the london youth games, all my straight ippons were from it!

I had to fight an international gold medalist and i was a yellow and he was blue!

He did take 1.30 mins to floor me!

[greenbay357]

Uchi mata always gives me problems. I just don't get how to get him over, you have to have lots of kuzushi which I am getting. maybe my reap or my turn isn't good enough

[loudenvier]

@greenbay357 Someday it will just click and it will work... Stop thinking a lot, just try it at will at randori... I assure you: IT WILL CLICK IN!!! One advice: try to twist down your opponent as if you were turning the wheel of a big truck, always facing his face (in other words: you will bring him down bellow your face) while you read with the leg just like a horse trying to topple over the rider!!!

[loudenvier]

@loudenvier read = reap!!!

[TheCowardlyDog]

@greenbay357 I agree 100%. Just keep trying and it will click. Once it does its a beautiful throw.

[starkyliam]

beautiful.

[zensarcasm]

Beautiful throw!

Hi loudenvier. I know who you are from the JudoForum. This is a great video! Wonderful ippon especially when you consider your experience at the time. Yes, I agree that belt color doesn't matter but experience does and pull executed a nice throw!

[loudenvier]

@droman30 This was 10 years ago!!! Today I don't live near this place anymore, and it almost brought tears to my eyes to be reminded how I miss my very first sensei... Time to call him again and just say hello, its been more than 7 years I left the city where he teaches for good (he should be now 80 years-old), but I still remember and carry on his teachings... Judo gave me a lot of things, but also an extra father in the figure of this sensei here, sensei Braga.

[HardymarkTheKid]

NICEEE reaction!!!

[JudoAccount]

i understand it must be harder but to be around more experianced players must be very helpfull because you can learn from them right what rank/belt are you now?

[loudenvier]

I was promoted to shodan 2 years ago.

[fastr1337]

@JudoAccount you have no idea how right you are. im a black belt and i train exclusively with other shodans.

[DannySMalone]

I'm impressed that a yellow has that kinda reflex to go for that throw. usually a player needs to through 100's of Uchi Komi for that sort of reaction.

Great stuff.

[loudenvier]

Thanks! At that time I did around 200 to 300 uchikomi a day already... Here in Brazil we still very much base Judo training in uchikomi. My sensei says this: "Judo is: uchikomi + uchikomi + uchikomi and uchikomi"... And he is is no way downplaying randori, nage-komi and shiai by saying that.

[DannySMalone]

wow, that is intense! It isn't suprising that Brazil produce some fantastic judoka. Are you still actively training now? If so what grade are you?

Might have to spend a few months in Brazil training :P

[loudenvier]

This is an old footage, I am shodan right now (1st degree black-belt). I am not currently training Judo in the formal sense, as I've ruptured my ACL of the left knee, but since I can still do newaza I got back to BJJ classes, and I am a purple belt in BJJ still, but I hope to get the black-belt too. There is a funny video I uploaded of myself doing solo uchikomi after my knee injury, you'll see why I can't do tachiwaza until I get my reconstruction surgery! I'll post it as a video response.

[loudenvier]

There it is, the video response showing myself doing solo uchikomi after my knee injury...

[jamesmac55555]

cool man!!!

[Zefobenga]

Wow, just great. thumbs up. i managed to throw a black belt with this throw too, and im a yellow belt. well, sometimes one is lucky, sometimes one isnt

[johnfox3]

Dosent matter weather your a bit lucky, its all part of the fight, impressive throw... In my club a no-Belt once pulled of a Kata Gruma!, to be fair it was agianst another no-belt but it was impressive!, when we asked him about it he said he got it from youtube! lol!

[johnfox3]

Top Throw!

[loudenvier]

And a luck one too!!! Thanks, anyway, for the undeserved merit...

[Renatodantasdasilva]

faixa marron fudido da poha

[loudenvier]

Olha o palavreado!!! hehee ... aí, nos seus favoritos só tem makikomi, tu é mau com seus companheiros de treino, heim? Abraços.

[Renatodantasdasilva]

agente naum se permite dar esse tipo de vacilo

sim é verdade eu treino todas as variações do makikomi

[OneShotStop229]

I was in the same situation as you, my friend! the black belt (my instructor, no less)went for kosoto gake. I saw it and turned in for Uchi Mata. I've never seen the guy fly so high. I'm a foot taller than him but he was way above my head haha. Yellow belts kick ass! ;)

[Oneshot112]

Wow great throw, and you were a yellow belt too!

[ilope012]

kosoto gake mate uchi mata makikomi...ahh i miss the old days of real judo

[loudenvier]

:-) Me too! Mainly now that I'm a crippled black belt with a non-functional knee!!!!

[ghostfaces]

great uchi mata!!

[mckyejack]

Bigg =)

[mckyejack]

Bigg =)

[eddie2593]

justs show belts dont mean a anything in a fight

[supercrono144]

I think you've been a little lucky on this one, but it's part of the game. Well done. :)

[loudenvier]

Little luck? You are overestimating me :-) It was sheer luck!!! hahahaha Even now that I'm a black belt I was never able to do such devastating uchi-mata-makikomi again against another high-skilled judoka.

[HardymarkTheKid]

im young but its all i always say...the better person doesnt always win..1 slip up and the opponent can capitalize..the belt is only used to tie gi..

[bwolan]

I like the flow of techniques.

[ThunderfuryJudo]

nice uchi-mata ^^ was that a training fight?

[loudenvier]

A little shiai... a meeting for mutual benefit :-)

[ryandward]

nice ouchi gari.

[loudenvier]

Ouchi-gari??? It was Uchimata-makikomi... Anyway, thanx!!!

[5509831]

I think the guy was referring to the set up. You set him up with an ouchi gari and went into an uchimata.

Great combo.

[MaxScottHugo]

Very encouraging! It's very often about opportunity.
