Yet another superb, thorough, clear demonstration and explanation from Sensei Cunningham. Really appreciate having access to these - domo arigato gozaimasu!
Realy nice. Do you have on Yama arashi. This throw is very mysterious. 1:saigo was left handed so he probably used this throw in kenka yotsu 2:big people like to take a collar grip when fighting small people and saigo was 1.53cm how did he deal with that. 3:why is an tewaza when the leg plays such a big role. This are all mysterious questions I still ponder about.
Thank you for your question. I do not have a video of Yama Arashi that I already have that I can post for this. But perhaps I can explain in words and answer some of your questions. Perhaps the best way to explain Saigo's Yama Arashi is to say it was like the recently banned Reverse Seoinage, but completed to the front, with an added reap. (The confusion arises because Judo traditionally does not name throws by the entry or grip.) This reverse entry makes uses of Saigo's short stature and power. Also note that all (other) reaping throws are done to rear and with downward pull. We don't reap when throwing to the front because, with a downward pull, it makes ukes legs bend, driving his knees into the back of your leg and making finishing the throw impossible. But Saigo's peculiar grip and wrapping entry allowed him to get lift with a downward pull, allowing him to make it work. So it's all about the hands. "Yama Arashi" is a "mountain storm". When these storms break across the peaks of the mountains, they roll down the mountain slopes. The snowy winds essentially tumble down the mountains. (It's beautiful to see.) This is the way uke look as he or she is lifted by this downward pull which characterizes the throw, hence Yama Arashi. I hope this helps.
@@stevecunningham8201 interesting it helps. Do you happen to know syd Hoare. He wrote an book judo a-Z were he claimed that when saigo failed to throw with Yama arashi he would finish with a seoinage(taiotoshi) kinda action. He also showed a interesting kind of Yama arashi he seemingly learned from 10 Dan kotani. In the internet you find kotani interpretation of Yama arashi... But I find his way of doing it far to complicated to pull of. Here are some other senseis explaining kotani way... ua-cam.com/video/2Pzc1YEgV70/v-deo.html I than compared this to this harai goshi from a Japanese Judoka and was thinking that perhaps it was possible. ua-cam.com/video/Ql8m2KGzonk/v-deo.html There is no contact with the hip if you look closely. What do you think?
@@simbabwe2907 Of course, there is no hip contact. It is not a hip throw and is not related to Harai Goshi. I looked at the first video you linked, and it looks like modern Kodokan standard. The seoi-like insertion of the arm into the shoulder is very typical. Again, Kodokan does not name techniques based on entry or grip. Keep in mind that when Saigo was using the technique, there was no Judogi. This all pre-dated the invention of the modern Judogi. This had an effect on gripping and entry. Haori have lapels, but otherwise fit quite differently. People tend to forget how much has changed.
@@stevecunningham8201 makes sense.the no Hip contact was meant with the harai goshi example I gave. Thank you for your patience. I learned a lot. I realy want to see modern people use Yama arashi again.

Old school hane-goshi! This is what I wanted to know!!
great explanation for a throw I always struggle with , thank you :)
Thanks very much for this, Steve.
There's different kinds. I like the more forward facing Hane like half a hip Uki Goshi entry, and lower leg sweep
Thank you for this. I want to see more your uchi mata
Thank you!
Thank you 😊
this is my tokui waza. any recommedations on throwing this technique while moving to the side with uke? kinda like a okomi hane goshi
4:00 kuzushi

Sensei, are you familiar Hane Uchi Mata? I never learned it 😢
