This is normally how I end up having to do my Uchi Mata in BJJ. I desperately want to hit the more dynamic version where you sweep to the base leg but everyone I train with knows I want to do it so they immediately get low and put their butt way back or pull guard. I'm working on disguising it better 🤙 thank you for the great videos

This version of uchimata is very much what you see in competition judo. Unorthodox but realistic. Awesome stuff.

When I ask other people they are only able to explain things in very vague terms like " low & defensive BJJ stance", Judo is too "upright" yada yada. However, you actually can break it down to accurate knowledge and reasons why- protect your hip, get inside control, how to unbalance first before attempting the throw. Your information is greatly helpful and your insights are valuable. Thank you, Mr. Higashi. I rarely see someone like you that can be both a competent fighter and an amazing coach.

I am tall and use uchi mata in judo and mma it's my favourite technique try to understand ukes balance/center off gravity using your arms to create off balancing (lapel/deep over hook) to allow your hips legs and body to do the rest of the work. Often times to execute the perfect technique all of these things will work together in conjuction. Always get under your partners centre of gravity after breaking his posture you will finish many techniques like this. Hope this can help you out abit.

I'm still trying to figure out how to land uchimata to counter the single-leg on a consistent basis. It's hard at times because you're not quite under their center of gravity so I've resorted to either grabbing their belt or using an overhook to get kuzushi while pulling the opposite side arm

@@BinhtriVu Leg Uchimata, I am 1,78 and 90 kilos and have done this counter against a partner who´s 113 kilos and a little bit shorter than me but stockier. The key as my BJJ coach says (for the ground but still can steal his phrase) is get the oponent between movements, I grip over the back but the most important thing for me is to use the momentum, I guess is called , when my mate is entering to the single, that way it will feel almost effortless, if you stop the guy and then enter uchimata will feel way harder. I have more legs than torso and prefer leg uchimata with some angle with shorter guys or guys that are lower, the japanese way attacking deep doesn´t work for me very well.

@Shintaro Higashi im having trouble with hip placement. am i supposed to put the side of my hip on their belt knot? or am i supposed be square with the partner? (if i try to be square it feels super uncomfortable on my arm on the lapel and my lower back, the pressure feels like im overturning my body to be square if that makes sense cause my arm is still holding their lapel and blocking me from turning a full 180). thank you for helping!

@isa100kg

Hey! Uchi mata will be a little bit different for everyone. For this uchi mata, you don't need to square up with the partner. Usually, you'll feel off balance if there is not enough pull, or kuzuchi. When you practice this, really focus on the head and sleeve control. A good cue is to always get your partner's head below yours before you finish the throw.

The BJJ player is going to be looking for a right handed lapel grip in that left sided stance as apposed to the left handed lapel grip and right handed sleeve grip. I guess it would be the same as shown previous in the RvR stance?

a beginner question: in this throw, do you use the hip or not? and where my leg should be (in the middle or in the thigh?) Thanks for the video!

I'm also wondering the same thing. How do you generate lift in the BJJ style Uchi Mata

The 2nd step seems very crucial. It also seems more natural. In my BJJ class we go over Judo throws. I intuitively want to take an extra hop or step to position myself better. Is that correct? Thank you!
