@fdsfsdgdfgsadfafsdfs you have no understanding of the throw hes a 6th dan at least probably more he knows wat hes saying dont be disrespectful if u hit the leg in randori ur not very likely to pull it of u wuld probably collapse because ur hips wuld have not rotated enough so u wuld lose balance or get countered. u have to enter as if its a hip throw like ogoshi but sweeping the leg ideally it brushes the thigh
At 2:05, the teacher claims ashi-guruma (leg-wheel) is a sweep--I do not think ashi-guruma is a sweep, but a block. Ashi-guruma, in my opinion, corresponds with Hiza-guruma, as USJA Steven Cunningham has pointed out. If one sweeps during an ashi-guruma attack, then the throw becomes a far-side harai-goshi (which is popular in Western free-style wrestling, especially with an underhook) or even an O-guruma, but I think it is no longer an ashi-guruma. What do you think?
I have just recently found this page. One of the most fundamentally educational channels related to Judo. I love that you teach the fundamentals of each throw (as it should be) including body angle and hand posture for proper kazushi and tsukiuri. I love classical instructors that teach proper technique first!
Excellent video.You are great sensei.I am having problems with doing harai goshi in randori.I can do it "well" when doing nage komi,but in randori i ve done it only few times(most times I fail).Im tall guy,and In randori I always go too deep in opponent so I stuck with my hips and rotation.I ll have "triangle" principal more in my mind when I try to do harai goshi next time. :)Thanks again for great lesson
@ptnippon Thatnk you for posting. I am a practitioner of Brazillian Jiu-jitsu and have done a little bit of wrestling with my school. My friend has taught me a tille bit of Judo and I have pulled off some okay throws, but what I think i'm continiously doing incorrectly is how I position my hips and overall hip movement when executing any throw. Any tips?
@tywainwright1 Hard to say without seeing what you're doing. Try and keep your opponent leaning forward and off balance throughout the throw. Also make sure your hips are low and deep enough in relation to your opponent
This is deffinatly not bad instruction it is just differnt, ive bin thought by my sensei to do harai goshi using my attacking leg to block my oppents leg, and he learned this from watanabe sensei many years ago. if you look at other videos from the japanese you will see both ways more hip or less hip more leg, but the fact is that both ways work. To each his own.
@mmaspecs He addresses your confusion in the video - you're thinking Ashi-Guruma (leg wheel). In Harai, Similar to Tai Otoshi - you use your leg as a secondary pivot point. You're not 'sweeping', so much as letting your partners legs rotate over it. The hip does all the action in this throw (hence why it's a Koshi-Waza)
When you say "thumbs aligned," do you mean your thumbs are pointing at each other? Or simply pointing in the same direction (ex. the "thumbs up" gesture). Or something else altogether? Perhaps I missed this in the other videos... Nice videos btw =)
This videos help me out so much not only with my own technique but when I teach these techniques to others. Thank you very much ptnippon for posting these. This is some of the highest quality Judo I've seen stateside.
@MusicIsMyLife6991 That's because he's explaining the fundamental technical details which are important to understand. Judo requires many years practice in order to become even slightly competent and if there were more people like this guy around we would all be a lot better at it.
My question is: How can I ever repay you for posting this? I have been working on this throw for awhile and I have a decent Harai Goshi but far from great. I've been really frustrated because I just can't get it to flow and I didn't understand why. Your point about jamming oneself if you go in too deep as a bigger guy was so illuminating. I'm 6'3", and 205lb's so it made total sense to me. Thank you so much.
i have just started training in traditional goshin ju-jitsu and i struggle with this throw on a taller uke, what i have started doing is hooking under the armpit with my right arm instead of around the neck or collar, sort of like o-goshi. I find it pulls him over your hip more
i do that too, but the placing of the hip part.. its like you gotta suck your hip inside, cuz he'll pull back since if you put him on his toes.. he'll bend back using his knees, plus the entry varies.. i want to know the entry variations so its easier..sorry more effective to do it and keep em/her there without the pull back. i've seen, and tried.. for the underhook.. a swing when goin down, as a means of defense just in case of ushiro or any suplex motion
When working throws with my friend, he tends to really stiff arm me when holding my Gi, so I can't really get my hips inside for a throw. Would the lift up on the sleeves create a proper opening or is there something else I can do to create space?
if its a stiff arm break the grip... collapse one arm some how.. if one stiff arm is still straight use it.. as a way to keep his/her balance up.. you cant throw him if the arm will wrap to much around you and its goin down.. if it does mb.. you can do a makikomi.. i like to grab both wrists and choose which hand i want to use.. he's blocking you with his body forward.. you want to make the circle to throw. you need to find out how you can reach your axis of where you can throw rotate&balance
@AudienceKiller66 I assume the arm he is stiff-arming you with is the one grabbing your lapel. If so, bend your knees slightly and shrug that shoulder to make the gi material slide off and take that pressure away. Then reposture and work your throws without having to encounter that same resistance. Whenever the gi material gets taut like that just shrug it back and expose your shoulder.
hi, ive been watching this and your video about uchi mata. would you say that the two throws are similar in terms of kuzushi/entry/positioning other than that harai goshi, you are more square and go further out with your hips so that in a right handed throw, your right butt is protruding outwards whereas uchimata, its inserted in the "pocket" and that harai is brushing the outer part of right thigh whereas uchi mata is brushing inner part of right thigh?
Thank you. Also, in uchi mata, do you spring up like in harai goshi? or do you just enter, keep the base leg bent, then sweep with the other leg? also, is your harai in this video same as how it's done in nage no kata? seems like there is more of a sweep on uke's leg in kata but in more practical harai, not so much, its more in the hips. is that right?
the judo's belt is not the same, often it's with the age, so if you are 16 years old, you can have black belt in 4-5 years ... but if you are 3 years old you will have the black belt in ... 10-12 years, sorry for my english i'm french
how long would you estimate it to take to achieve black belt in judo, i know some martial arts such as taekwondo can take almost no time at all to achieve black belt, which means belts dont really mean anything
Well a lot depends on at what age you start, how many hours a week you practice etc. That why I don't think length of time is a good gauge. The average judoka in the US probably does 4 to 6 hrs of judo a week. When I was in college I did judo 24 to 30 hrs a week, so........
I think about 2000 hours on the mat is about right to reach shodan in judo.
Sir, do you recommend this sort of throw for someone who's 5'9"? I've always that reaping throws, especially this one, is not well suited for shorter people.
I don't think there are short people or tall people throws. It's what works for you. 5'9" is the average height for a male in the US so is that considered short?
Thank you sir, it's just that I'm in the 100+ kg division, so I tend to face much taller opponents, and I wasn't so sure if this throw may be for me (I really like though). But once again, thanks for the encouragement!
I'm trying to find a no-gi way to execute your techniques, and I feel I found some posssible ways to do it, however, if you know the proper no-gi grip could you please explain?
good memo on hari, This is my favorite throw . being 6'3". the normal grip was hard it get and the high collar is easy to chicken wing so I grip over the back or belt when I firer this throw
err....you are sweeping the leg..your oponents leg which has all their weight on..why do you think its called sweeping loin..if youre that far in with your hips,which you shouldnt be,if youre doing the throw correctly,why bother with the guiding leg???!!??? just do o goshi!!! who taught you judo??? mr magoo??
My harai goshi was taught to me by Daigo sensei, head technical instructor at the Kodokan and one of the 3 10th dans at the Kodokan today. Obviously you don't understand the basics of harai goshi and if you want to insult Daigo sensei by calling him Mr Magoo then you are lost
I think you're really onto something with these instructionals. There are alot of technical details left out of other instructionals out there. It's shown me alot of things I'm doing wrong.
Thanks,I remember reading this aversion to the high grip in a book by Yamashita or Neil Adams,can't remember which one,but they never explained why except to say that it is dangerous to take the high collar grip against seoi nage specialists.
Many reasons why. One your opponent knows which direction you're always going to go; opposite directions are almost impossible to do from this grip; it raises your center of gravity, you have to have extremely strong hands to grip this way correctly, etc.
@fdsfsdgdfgsadfafsdfs you have no understanding of the throw hes a 6th dan at least probably more he knows wat hes saying dont be disrespectful if u hit the leg in randori ur not very likely to pull it of u wuld probably collapse because ur hips wuld have not rotated enough so u wuld lose balance or get countered. u have to enter as if its a hip throw like ogoshi but sweeping the leg ideally it brushes the thigh
