This is the one I have been waiting for! Some people say that leg grip takedowns are invincible skills but there are ways to defence and counterattacks. Thank you for greats videos Mr. Higashi, I watch your videos everyday! Huge respect from South Korea.
@@gyrox0031 I heard that Olympic does not allow sports that look similar. Like old Judo with leg gripping and Freestyle Wrestling are similar so they banned leg gripping in Judo. I might wrong but this is what I heard.
Fantastic video! It's so helpful that you take the time to point out the key ideas and distinctions between scenarios rather than just giving a laundry list of techniques
My favorite counter is sumi gaeshi. They never see it coming. But I promise you, they gonna be TH-cam-ing "single leg avoid sumi gaeshi" the moment they get home.

That's why I hate that judo took those leg attacks away.
Judo contains plenty of techniques to counter it and make it fair game.
@@cesaralvesdemoraes3187 I hope one day IJF permit awesome leg grips so that Judokas can play like Sambo or Freestyle Wrestlilng players.
@@jeeprubicon392kmI've read that's why they were removed in order to keep the sport of Judo unique

Leg grabs were never that good in gi. They were removed because it led to stalling and made Judo less aesthetic and distinct.
Great lesson, thanks for sharing. You can also reach across with the captured leg and have a nice osoto gari. It's very unexpected.

Thank you!
Killer leverage techniques
Awesome! Can you do a Double Leg Counter video?
My favorite counter is sumi gaeshi. They never see it coming.
But I promise you, they gonna be TH-cam-ing "single leg avoid sumi gaeshi" the moment they get home.
Thank you sensei.
I use this uchi mata as my defence so frequently and its such a high percentage move. Do reccomend. Also, tomoe nage for double leg defence.
Cool
agreed
VERY COOL
Is this possible in no-gi?
Can these effectively be applied to no gi as well?
Yes. You’re just making grip on his body
2:25 like here. You’d switch. Maybe opt for his triceps, and lat.
Yes for the Uchi-Mata you need a tight over hook and a grip on the wrist or back of the elbow.
Nah, nogi makes these impossible
we must prepare for Mortal Kombat
The arrival of Shaun Tsung is imminent

Inside and outside single leg. A high croch is a different technique. It's more like a setup.
Head outside is a high crotch
I remember seeing Ronda do this on Miesha Tate during their second fight
How about some kami basami 😅
Definitely a possibility, yes.
I don't know who I'm talking to, I think you're the youngest person with this belt.....
