Hip Throw Counter to Under Hook

As much as I love under hooks, they can also suck - if you let your opponent dominate you with a strong whizzer or over hook.
There are a variety of counter techniques from the over hook, but one of the more devastating moves you can do is a hip throw. There are quite a few variations on this, but on this video I focus on my favorite - the Harai Goshi.
I feel it is the most practical, powerful, and easiest to control the landing without fear of getting rolled over as scoring ippon means nothing in fighting. Check it out!

Back in the early 80’s, I was the first person I knew of who would routinely hit this throw while defending a single takedown (wrestling). Once my opponent secured my leg, and lifted it off the mat, I’d secure a wizzer (please people, stop calling it a wizard, smh) with my right arm and reach across with my left to grab his bicep. Before he knew what happened, he’d be on his back counting the lights. With proficiency, the amplitude can be amazing and is one of the most aesthetically glamorous throws possible.

Could you please clarify which byceps do you grab with your left arm and how you throw him afterwards?

@@Deathskull0001 you control your opponents right elbow

[@Joey71420]

I was the first person I knew LOL

[@reliablyJEllis]

Can you clarify if your leg was tucked between his legs or shelved up so that the throw is exactly like demonstrated here? It sounds like you could also be describing an elevator/gator bacon (goes by many different names) but I don’t want to assume without asking

[@reliablyJEllis]

Another reason to go higher up on the arm is if you grab the wrist he can duck under the far side. Controlling above the elbow the duck under is almost impossible for the underhook to duck under far side.

Love hip throws my favorite move

[@DavidAvellan]

There is some good slam damage with a nice hip throw 💥

[@casparbosch5615]

Leg should hit the shin/ankle, not the thigh. Not hating, just saying :) Great video!

[@DavidAvellan]

I admit, some of my throws were a bit too high on the thigh in regards to the sweeping leg. But typically you see around the knee for Harai Goshi.

[@scarred10]

It's a sweeping hip throw you go hamstring to thigh.

[@escobar798]

What do they call this in judo?

[@DavidAvellan]

I believe it is called Harai Goshi

[@escobar798]
