Good teacher and I love to listen to other people's questions and have the teacher answer it, since I learn so much from that. More content like this is welcome.
From my understanding, harai goshi is neither "lifting" nor "blocking", it is "sweeping" after a light lift. So you would lift the other so far that there is not much weight left on the foot and then you sweep with your leg. If you are outside and you're blocking, you'll get ashi guruma. If you're far inside and you're lifting, it'll be hane goshi. I know the naming is not that important for competition, but I think it helps understanding the differences.
Harai goshi is hands-down my tokui waza. I like it because that lifting leg actually allows you to bend over at the hip even more, plus that leg serves as a block.
Brilliant video as always. Have you ever actually sent somebody full force Shintaro? Could you maybe do a video on generating power in throws and the spirit you approach Judo (and specifically throwing people) with and then also, for a noob such as myself, I don't think I've seen a video on how to land safely and how to mitigate force when being thrown from you so that would also be appreciated if you thought it was a topic worthy of discussion. Just some ideas if you're looking for something else to cover. Big fan of the videos, keep doing what you're doing :) Peace oot!
That's pretty crazy that a black belt is comfortable admitting he's not confident in one of his basic throws. Would've NEVER happened at some of my previous gyms.
It is a relief to see. I was told that when you get a black belt, you are ready to learn. I tell my students the difference between a white belt and a black belt is the black belt has a better understanding of where their flaws are.
1st Dan doesn't not mean you are proficient in every single throw. It means your done your time and learnt the syllabus, takes years and years and talented to be any good.
Break down the names, harai goshi (sweeping hip)is a sweeping hip throw. Ashi guruma (leg wheel) is a block on the lower leg that you wheel them over. Ashi guruma can also be done to the rear.
@@larryzach7880 in which case to the rear it would be osto guruma. Today one sees on UA-cam the hip being swept from lower down the leg. Hence the mistaken name or "different" technique.
My former coach always used to say to execute harai to the side (90 degrees) instead of over the back and it works. Also with this you change opponents direction in the way he/she does not expect
@@cucciafr68 actually, in the copy i have of "kodokan judo" its stated that harai goshi was actually made for catching people trying to escape the uki goshi!
@@vittocrazi I mean, that makes sense. Just like Nage no Kata, everything is a response to a previous throw. That stuff is very interesting. We will sometimes get the candycane belts to tell us the stories.
Dear Mister Higashi, how is the throw with the left leg outside not Ashi guruma? Seems like what the black belt is performing is not Harai goshi... if i am mistaken please make a video where you show why it is different from Ashi guruma. Thank you
@@mmongiello722 I love that comment he made. I am constantly arguing with people who claim uchi matas are hane goshis. Though there are some cases that is true, some just dismiss all far side leg uchi matas as hane.
There is enough variation between the throws that the feet placement can be about the same. For hane, you would be better off closer to 90 degrees to uke as you make contact before executing the throw. But again, it is different for everyone.
feet placemen as in entry position or contact? because to put it really simple in "sweeping", harai goshi "wraps" the opponent and drives back, but in hane the knee goes out but the foot back in again, then springs to the outside. . Edit: and as for footwork, i can tell you harai goshi should resemble uki goshi. Hane goshi should resemble uchi mata
@@vittocrazi I mean position on contact. My style of uchi mata is similar to hane goshi in terms of I frame with my leg, but I frame the inside and sweep through vs framing the front and springing up or lifting up. But if uke moves it can become hane very easily.
Not a big fan of lifting throws in jiujitsu you end up giving your back and the guy behind you (as i was this guy too) is just like say no more and go for back ride mata leon or suplex back take in a split second.

Love this style of video - the troubleshooting stuff seems that it could be really helpful for other throws as well
I think the same, so natural ... he was like "what am i teaching...?"

i feel like we're sitting in on george's personal training sessions and I'm loving it. I feel like we're getting good teaching moments
Sensei George, THANK YOU for asking this question! I have also struggled with harai for a long time. Always good to get more insight!
It's nice having a viewer surrogate help with the teaching be so-in depth.

I know the naming is not that important for competition, but I think it helps understanding the differences.
And if you are inside and sweeping, it's uchi mata. Basically as long as you are not being tested on a technique, a throw is a throw.
Hane legs will be different than Harai.
Think of Harai Goshi as a continuation of Uki Goshi. It helped me a lot.
I was taught the same thing and it made so much sense.
thats actually what it was made for!
This actually answers my question from yesterday. Thank you so much!
Harai goshi is hands-down my tokui waza. I like it because that lifting leg actually allows you to bend over at the hip even more, plus that leg serves as a block.
Always had trouble getting Harai goshi in competition. Great video
Explaining how you think and the strategy is really nice.
More troubleshooting videos please! This was very helpful sir.
It's nice that you discussed the differences in how the technique is applied.
Almost at 100k brother, well done and much deserved ✊
The model of question and answer makes this video so good that i feel guilty that's free!

Peace oot!
Thank you for these great examples!
Thanks you from Spain
Anytime I watch Shintaro sensei videos it looks like Markiplier teaching me Judo
Thanks a million, Sensei
Great content and CONTEXT :) thank you
it's funny how this vids are helping me out in jiujitsu. :)
Its not funny bro..roots are roots 🤙
Same here, totally agree.
i wonder how long george has been training judo? they say i think i japan that a black belt means you are just begining to understand judo
Amazing teacher
Cool! I wish I could be your student. But I'm far away in Malaysia. 😁

Judo is hard.
Being a black belt only means that you know judo and it's basics. No where near being a master.
It is a relief to see. I was told that when you get a black belt, you are ready to learn. I tell my students the difference between a white belt and a black belt is the black belt has a better understanding of where their flaws are.
1st Dan doesn't not mean you are proficient in every single throw. It means your done your time and learnt the syllabus, takes years and years and talented to be any good.
Taught this throw by Nori Kudo and worked better for me with the right leg moving backwards of the Uki. Just different.
I had no idea the bartender from Shameless was a Judo Black Belt!
outside ashi garuma, inside half harai is how i teach it ??
Shintaro can't resist growing his hair back.
Where does Harai end and Ashi-guruma start?
Break down the names, harai goshi (sweeping hip)is a sweeping hip throw.
Ashi guruma (leg wheel) is a block on the lower leg that you wheel them over. Ashi guruma can also be done to the rear.

It s awesom!!!🥋😋

I had someone explain to me the entrance angle is much like uki goshi and that helped me a lot.

thanks a lot, it was really helpful. My harai sucks XD
I know this is OLD, but can you look at Blind Judo Journey's Harai and give critique ?
How this different from ash I guruma?
I have the exact same problem.
Harai is hard for tall people, certainly if you want the lift too.
Keep up
Whats the difference in feet placement between Hani gosh and harai goshi
According to travis Steven's hani is not a real throw.
@@mmongiello722 I love that comment he made. I am constantly arguing with people who claim uchi matas are hane goshis. Though there are some cases that is true, some just dismiss all far side leg uchi matas as hane.

Upward lift... Baaaang! 🤣
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's like a Harai that starts as an Ogoshi?
Or its ogoshi.
Are your mats spring loaded? Do those help?
Spring loaded floors definitely help, but KBI’s (Shintaro’s school) floors are not sprung.
1:50 listen with your eyes closed.
Not a big fan of lifting throws in jiujitsu you end up giving your back and the guy behind you (as i was this guy too) is just like say no more and go for back ride mata leon or suplex back take in a split second.
So a 1.90+cm black belt just said he can't perform harai goshi...
Who the hell dislikes this?
Your hips aren’t deep enough. Even with his ogoshi his hips were better.
You look much too young to be wearing that belt.
