Harai Goshi

Harai Goshi instruction. Due to a slight injury I am demostrating this throw right handed which is not my regular side.

its true you do hit the knee

@MatthewRyanBJJ Sorry that is not true in a correctly done harai goshi

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?

[ptnippon]

@NIKandSi , Ashi guruma is a block.  I shouldn't have said what I did as I was relating to the leg position rather than the action.

@mmaspecs , If you really think that, then you don't understand the fundamental principle of the throw.

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.

@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

@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?

@ptnippon,

No worries, you're a good teacher, and we enjoy your style of judo very much. Thanks for sharing your studies.

@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
