lol hari goshi is sweeping hip as in a hip throw with a sweeping leg motion to lift the leg of the opponent its often on the outside in correct form but not exclusively as the throw is not called outside sweeping hip is it???... uchimata is the same form with out the hip as deep in and the sweeping leg makes contact with the back leg of the opponent if any ! as i said no uchimata here, so plz get a clue or maybe a kyu grade .........

@boris999222666 for the last time, the video is entitled Uchi-mata because that's the technique Kosei Inoue said HE was demonstrating. It's irrelevant what grade I am, I filmed and uploaded the video, I was there when he demonstrated UCHI-MATA. This is the way the technique is taught in Japan and hopefully across the world. If you think you know better that him then good luck to you. Anyway I'm disabling comments on the video now, thanks for the interest even if you are wrong :-)

Ok, this is a perfect Uchi Mata. I agree, It's a very well done technique from a great champion. I admire Inoue and his "uchi mata". But I'm still not able to match this uchi mata with nage no kata uchi mata. I'm not so sure that we're talking about the same techniques. Surely, we're talking about top class Judo! And that's enought for me.

@juottavi you're right but this is one variation of his, if you buy his dvd boxset it's got another 7 versions on it, one of which is more akin to the kata version

Around the 1 min mark I see how he enters by like charging up by throwing his foot back, Im just wondering if this is necessarily a bad thing because Ive been trying to break that habbit and I can see it being a problem in Shia

[add9259net]

@33bulldogg look at the way he throws at the start of the video. As he moves back he creates space with his arms and steps/skips back with his right leg before he turns in. This action therefore creates space and momentum and also helps the kuzushi. I believe 'throwing his foot back' as you describe is just to simulate that movement from a more static position.

The whole principle of hane goshi is very different, it's not only leg placement but a hane goshi would throw uke slightly behind you.

Despite his leg being slightly on the right side, this is still a perfect uchi mata

This is the best demonstration video on this technique. Thank you!!!

[Myself0101]

It is Uchimata, Kosei uses an almost Hane Goshi style of Uchimata as he was quite short for the two weight divisions he fought in, this type allowed him to throw for big ippons. When he moved to the +100 division he found that this type wasn't as successful as it had been in -100, therefore he began to use the ken-ken (hopping) Uchimata more. However this was his main style of Uchimata, I believe he had 8 or 9 types for differing situations.

[Tasjudoka]

It's a bit like this - If Inoue says its Uchi-mata, then it's uchi mata. Kano and Mifune wouldn't argue with him, why should anyone else?

@add9259net didn't disable comments, proves he is boss!!!!

@add9259net it´s definitely uchi mata !! Thanks for the upload mate

[Eclipse1234567ify]

@boris999222666 uchi mata is done on the inner thigh.This allows it to be done on both legs. Inoue does it on the same leg as he sweeps with, the same leg as harai goshi. Harai is however exclusively done on the outside. Uchi mata being a versatile throw it allows the position of the hip to vary and still be considered uchi mata... and your last remark is arrogant to an extreme ( second dan good enough?).

[kyoon1204]

Lol his uchimata is variation.  combined.

[Chiragana]

Awesome! I love his Uchi Mata the most! I have an uchi mata as well. CHECK OUT my video on UCHI MATA!!
