what is the meaning/translation of uchikomi?

i just read the word related to go (boardgame)

[droman30]

@JJTheBigDog Uchi komi is basically translated as "turning in" or "form fitting" That's the general idea. The purpose of uchi komi is to practice the off balancing and entry for a variety of throws in a repeatable manner. The idea is that if you get the off balancing (kuzushi) and entry (tsukuri) correct the execution of the throw (kake) would happen naturally.

are those women's belts?

[droman30]

I never bothered to look at the belts before in the beginning but you are right, those men are wearing the joshi belt. Then again, perhaps they are burly looking women.

@gabs255 no matter who is performing the throw the fact remains that they are not performing it perfectly i am not saying it is bad. by all means it is very good but just not perfect

[webmonster251]

@gabs255 it's easy to say people's uchikomi aren't good until you realize it's Tadahiro Nomura, 3 time olympic gold medalist, and Shinohara, 2 time world champion

[gabs255]

this is not good uchi komi as whenever he/she turns in for a throw they knock their partner back making it much harder to throw them
