Its been nearly 20 years since I've been a judoka and in a class but just watching some perfect formed harai goshi makes me want to jump back on the mat.
Uchimata into Harai Goshi is one of my favorites. I've used it so much that I do it as a reflex and can switch ko soto gari or a sweep. I am lefty but practice both ways right/left for me it's fairly easy. Good stuff!
I know this video is two years old but what amazing stuff. After watching this video I got super excited and went straight to the BJJ class to try all the new set ups. Thank you.
Thank you for all your videos! In addition to watching the techniques, I also love watching the uke's facial expressions. No matter how skilled both sides are, uke's face couldn't hide the joy of getting thrown repeatedly like that. 😅
Great vid! I'm actually working on my tokui waza (harai goshi, obviously!) and this video has provided me with quite A HUGE deal Of variations I can put into practice for the exam: Thanks a lot and keep up with the good work, :)
Great vid Matt, very informative...but can we see some of these done on the move. An opponent isn't as compliant as your uke, so the set up on the move would be helpful...please.
Mother in law comes over and starts giving life advice and offers sayings...jump out of dinner chair, set up, harai goshi right out the front door in to waiting cab going to the airport!
Uchimata into harai goshi is my FAVORITE. I hit it all the time in jiu Jitsu competitions. It’s honestly the only way I know how to get to the harai goshi. I need to expand though
so many comedians in comments :D but they are outnumbered 1:100 by harai goshi ! Seriously though, nice to see some serious judo i can apply when i fail o soto gari fx :]
Now we're going to do a flying arm and turn that into a harai goshi. Now we're going to grab the persons ear and as you look again you will see the harai goshi. Now as we are filing our taxes we see another opportunity to harai goshi..
Nice video Matt. I've always been curious why at the highest level there's such a strong preference for uchi mata over harai goshi. In my own (definitely not international, but decent on the US collegiate scene) competition career, I had a ton of success in the -90 division with osoto + harai but I never saw it emphasized the way uchi mata was. They're both half hip throws, similar entries off similar grips, but I just see so many more uchi matas in international competition. Any insight on why that might be? Function of weight class, stances, something else?
I think Uchi Mata is a less obvious throw, it's harder to predict for your opponent since you have so many options when attacking inside. That's my yellow belt two cents haha
Please could you do some tutorials on setting up NoGi throws for MMA? I'm finding it hard to translate my judo skills into MMA as I don't have a lot of grip. With my lanky arms I also find it hard to get close and clinch up against shorter opponents. Any tips? Thanks :)
Lapel=underhook high collar=around the head belt=behind the back sleeve=wrist basically anything but morote seio nage can be translated pretty directly.
If you're talking about harai specifically, in my MMA coaching I recommend it mostly off a whizzer + wrist grip at the glove, or if you're on the wrong side of a double unders situation pinching the wrist with your armpit, again right at the glove. You can do it with an underhook on the power side for sure, but it often turns into more of an O goshi because your hip tends to come farther across and the sweeping leg does less work. But from that whizzer you can really force uke's weight forward over his hips making the harai very nice. Getting to the grip in the first place is an art of its own, I'd recommend watching some Fedor fights to see how he punches into the clinch, and look up a move from Greco Roman wrestling called a high dive which works very well for shooting into good clinches as a counter to punches.
i think that grabbing the shoulder, forearm, bicep, and wrist are the best ways to apply for no gi. example, when you grab someone's top lapel or the back of their gi, instead of doing that, snake your arm to their shoulder and just grab it with the palm of your hand. execute harai goshi, o goshi, ashi guruma, etc.
Hello, I am a Judoka with a blue belt and compete at U18 level in Ontario, Canada. I was curious as at 1:35 you perform "cross step Harai Goshi" while it looked awfully a lot like Ashi Guruma. are there any main differences between the two or is it just another name for Ashi Guruma?
1:35 this one is fucking broooootal. I'm quite fast for my 95 kilos so I'm pretty sure this is not the kind of thing that is expected from me,but isn't it just beautiful ?
the technique from what I see is Ashi Guruma, I use it a lot and it works very well with his setup. It is a Very nice throw when done right, but I am much lighter than you. all in all, weight shouldn't matter but some throws cater to different builds. also yes a very "broooootal technique".
right. I'm also kinda tall (1,90 ,or 6,3-6,4) so I'm not quite used to using the standard Ippon Seoi Nage. I'm always trying to find alternatives that work well with my body type,e.g. putting both hands on the opponent's right arm while doing a Tai Otoshi. Well, you precisely mentioned my problem. I'm actually the only guy with my body type in my dojo, so I'm essentially trained to fight smaller,lighter guys.
almost, it's Ashi Guruma as he sweeps Tori's ankle rather than hip hence "Ashi"-foot, O Guruma is a sweeping motion targeted at the hip. You were right as the entry is the same for both techniques just foot placement is the differentiating factor.
Guy accidentally bumps into me on the subway, Harai Goshi!
lol
made me laugh!
Nailed it

It's the answer for virtually any inconvenience! Lol
I would ouchi Gari the guy
Random dude looks at you in the supermarket, harai goshi.

Great video, the things that may seem simple are not inherently obvious to beginners.

A beautiful explanation of a not so simple judo throw
thanks Matt. my son loves this video because Harai goshi is his move.
This guy makes these technics look so easy but really they are very difficult to perform even against smaller opponents
I practiced some self defense judo long ago , this vedio is very clear , easy to follow , great instruction .
Your cross step Harai goshi at 1:35 is more like an ashi guruma. Anw, great video as usual. Keep posting!
Fabulous video many thanks
My pleasure. Glad you liked it
I love the setup at 0:50 - It's the one I used to use most often in judo.
Great vid! I'm actually working on my tokui waza (harai goshi, obviously!) and this video has provided me with quite A HUGE deal Of variations I can put into practice for the exam: Thanks a lot and keep up with the good work, :)
Love it! One of my and kids favorite Harai Goshi demos. So many options and entries!
+torquedtoe glad they like it :)
Great video. I really like this technique. Works quite well if you have long legs. Excellent setups. Thank you very much.
nice this is favorite tehnik judo career
Nice combination.techniques !
Great vid Matt, very informative...but can we see some of these done on the move. An opponent isn't as compliant as your uke, so the set up on the move would be helpful...please.
Try doing these same grips while on the move. You will find your own setups to each throw I reckon
@@BeyondGrappling ok. Thanks
I liked the harai g after a fail attempt of osoto gari. I'll try this week
Excellent! Thank you for sharing!
Can you do more videos like this for other throws?
Nice to see practical combinations from a number of permutations, nice video. W:-)

Is the duck under harai at 1:55 legal in competition?
Uchimata into harai goshi is my FAVORITE. I hit it all the time in jiu Jitsu competitions. It’s honestly the only way I know how to get to the harai goshi. I need to expand though

Excellent! I'm getting back into Judo after being out for 8 years. This video on Harai goshi has got me pumped!
what 's the difference between harai and o soto? they look pretty much the same

In sparring, is this a relatively low percentage throw? Looks amazing!

Is the cross-step Harai like an Ashi Guruma?
@@tomwalker389 yep but harai is a hip throw

I see the difference now. Thanks, Matt.

Jason Downs definetly, even though Harai Goshi is a way more effective throw!
@@hamzatabaichount7873 no way, harai goshi is better only for lanky guys, specially those who are strongers
awesome

On the Osoto Gari entry, how do you get into it smoothly? As in, not having to take 3 seconds hopping around on 1 foot.
1:35 this one is fucking broooootal.

Cross step harai is ashi guruma i think
whenever a guest asks if have a bathroom *harai goshi
its cooool
Boss asks me to come in ten minutes early OFF THE CLOCK, Harai Goshi
Lol
aint that more o guruma than harai goshi? (semantic i know) [on 1:36]
No way man 1:36 is totes a O guruma

Got detention, harai
100%
hard enough for me to do this throw directly near impossible to do properly off a setup
