That makes me happy to hear man. Let's put those reps in!

It's really important to get closer/deeper with each hop as well as pulling that sleeve arm across. Some people punch it down to the mat but that is preference. You want their upper body parallel to the mart and then rotate it. For me the legs start the throw and the arms finish it. Good luck.

That’s it I’m wearing shoes next video

Do let me know how it goes!

Glad you enjoyed it

Btw, just for my expectation management, how long did it take you to hit uchi mata's in sparring? (I think you drilled quite a lot?)

@@maxikozie I drilled it (and still do) almost everyday for 3 years now with uchikomi, nage komi, and light randori, and I'm finally at the point where I can blast an uchimata comfortably. That being said, I was trying several different variations simultaneously. This particular version I show in the video was the first and by far the easiest to get down. I would say if you drilled it consistantly you would throw consistently with it anywhere from immediately to after 3 months depending on how quickly you learn.

@@DubiousDom Oh wow that's a lot of practice! I'll definitely try this version first; I already do it where I bail out of the uchi mata to a kouchi/ankle pick (you also have a video on that), I'll let you know how quickly I get this down.

@@DubiousDom Btw any other throws/variations that came more easily than others? In your sparring videos I see you mostly do uchi mata and osoto gari (but those are judo only rolls I think).

Thank you! Cheers!

You like Uchimata?

@@DubiousDom All time when I watched your fight, you love to use this skill in standing position. So I have tried to do that in my gym, but It is not easy. However I just get a lot of tips for this skill from this clib. Thanks.

@@user-cu5tj3mn4n Lets keep drilling, that's the key. It will only be easy after many hours of practice!

Any time

I know, I'm upgrading soon man, sorry about the crap audio!

The stamp of approval!

If they’re gripping my non dominant (left side), it doesn’t matter. I’m turning in that direction anyway. If they’re gripping my dominate side, then I change so I have the inside collar grip, and I push their outside grip on my collar to above my shoulder (kinda like you’re undressing yourself). Now they can’t push your shoulder and keep distance, and you can rotate in for your throw.

Check out Fluid Judo Japan's video on RvR Competition Uchi Mata. He goes over how to deal with them arm. Short version is he applies pressure on the grip with his shoulder so uke starts to push. Then, like Dom said, you just turn and pull the arm past you.

Humble me has had success with overhook (because I cannot ever get an underhook on anybody while standing) and just holding around the wrist. And if they don't fall, you suddenly tap behind the ankle of their standing right leg with your right (that was up in the air) and push them in that direction. Some also reach down and grab that ankle with their left hand (right-on-right).

i'll let em know you think so lol

Damn T zilla, whatchu know about kenka yotsu?? Ok serious answer, the trick to right on right is to square them with circular movement to your left, or attacking their lead leg. Both accomplish the same result, which is to create space to enter and give that squared stance so you can fire off up the middle. When you circle, try pulling them behind your back, then push them out as you finish to get that nice rebound effect. For the lead leg attack, use a ko uchi, but just block the back of their foot and push so they MUST move. When they recover, send it!

@@DubiousDom Oh you know, I'm a student of the game. Thanks for the response. I'll def get on this.

@@DubiousDom Right on right is ai yotsu. Kenka youtsu is right vs left or left vs right. Tillman seems to be left-handed. I guess the answer is around what you said up about the death grip on the dominant side: get an inside grip and shrug it off over your shoulder, then get closer. I am struggling with that, they are usually strong and skilled, but perhaps after three years of practice it will start working for me.

I have a black belt in BJJ and Judo

1 year later, still no update. 🫡

@@boltf927 lmao completely forgot, but yeah it didn’t quite work out, I didn’t get close enough or did it properly whatsoever I’m sure 😂

Hey too much candy will spoil your meal! 😆
