- How to do Uchi Mata. In this video I am showing how to do one of the most popular throws in judo - Uchi Mata, Inner Thigh Throw. Although an Ashi Waza technique, I like to create a large amount of hip contact in order to execute this throw powerfully, using the leg as a guide rather than the core of the throw. There are a large number of variations of this throw, and with time we will cover them too. Be sure to comment, like and share the video! Enjoy!

Great to be shown such a simple yet in-depth way of doing the traditional inner thigh version of this throw; thank you! I was first taught the spinning uchi mata, a rotating variant that hooks the other leg, and I was also already familiar with outer thigh uchi mata.
Excellent point about the utility and value of the lapel grip!
It allows tori to attack with ‘conventional’ uchimata and/or transition to uchimata sukashi, and a great combination to ko uchi gari (or, for the bold of spirit, yama arashi).
Outstanding demonstration of standard uchimata with excellent value for combining uchimata and other waza
Excellent. Would it be possible to see common mistakes and how to fix them?
Paul Slusarz i beat he does that alot on 229
@paul see @0:13
Very good commentary
Was just searching for an Uchimata video... Thanks..
I remember the first time I experienced Uchi Mata, I felt like if he let go he could have thrown me into the rafters.. I'm 60kg, he was probably 110kg.. good times
This was very clear explanation about Uchi mata!
must say this is break down and explanation I have seen , Sir your explanation from all your videos are excellent
Nice Uchimata video!
This really helped to improve my Uchi Mata! Thank You.
Thank you very much. Student from Sydney, Australia.
even with the sound off, the demostration was still quality
Thanks Sensei Sam,,its really help to improve my toki waza,,,thanks you are the best
Excellent demonstration! Good instructor
Man! I learn a lot of you videos! Thanks and keep making! :)
Thank you for posting! I love Judo (But never actually did more than few lessons )!
great execution and teaching, congrats
Learned many different technics but in contest the opponents mostly do the Uchi Mata.I had no good defens against it and once the leg is between my legs,i fly.I was about 1.90 cm but no much kilogram.Now im older im gaining weight so i think uchi mata dont work anymore for opponents so easy.But I left the Judo sport long ago but I shall never forget it.
Great video. Going try using the lapel for better control.
Really Nice Channel with clean Statements ! Thank you :)
excellente from both of u
if you add responses and responses to responses..... amazing
Parabéns Sampson videos bastante didatico!!!! Congratulation!!!
Could you explain more of what the swing leg is doing?
Δάσκαλε τώρα σε ανακάλυψα...Πότε θα σε δούμε στην Αθήνα σε κάποιο σεμινάριο? Έχουμε πραγματική ανάγκη από ανθρώπους ώριμους που ξέρουν τζούντο και θέλουν να δείξουν στους νεότερους....Να έχεις υγεία και να συνεχίσεις να μας δείχνεις τα μυστικά σου!
Thanks Sensei! Great tutorial!
Thanks a lot. Best explination.
Thanks from Spain
this is fantastic. please teach me about drop knee seoi nage next time.
This man a wizard!!
I will try it cool technique
Very nice 👍
Best explanation...thank u
I love this sensei amazing men
In the step by step you says to sweep the inner left thigh....then when he does the actual through he sweeps the inner right thigh twice in a row. This is why folks wonder about uchi mata vs. hane goshi is it?
I noticed the same thing. I was looking for a comment that addressed that
Could you comment on the difference between the near leg and far leg sweep? Sometimes you sweep the nearest thigh, and sometimes the far thigh?
Thank u for this technique
Excellent breakdown. Thank you.
Great 👍 love it ❤
Would love to master this one day
This technique indeed is beautiful but I just can't do it...
I'll keep working on it..
That's the best way, just keep practising and focusing on the points I made and you will get there. Everything takes time and patience.
because it is wrong!
Nenad Zdravkovic how do?
@@mjolnir9855 i can teach you, but i am very far.
How can his be done when someone isn't in a gi?
Instead of grabbing the sleeve you can grab the wrist. Or do an over hook to trap the arm. Instead of grabbing the collar you could headlock or do an under hook. There’s videos on no gi uchimata
Leon tan that happened to me years ago teaching my kids and he almost kill me hahahhaha
Sir can I use your uchimata training video to demo my own attempts
Is your style boesin? If you write it this way in english, I learned everything in kodokan, and you have to keep your swinging leg straight by poinying your toes away from yourself. I just immediately noticed and wondered
Makes me think of osoto Gary
Very Good!!
im no way near ur level but wouldnt it be easier if u take ur first step further away from uke to get more kuzushi?
No, because you need hip contact to lift your opponents over 🙂
excellent video. could you also make some tutorials on common mistakes?
Thanks very much.
What grips can you use to set up the throw in no-gi?
Im a white belt and can i use the uchimata during my competition if im a whit belt?Pls reply Tq
Andrew Lim yes of course you can!
muy bien explicado 👍
Excellent instruction, thank you.
So the only difference between uchi mata and a hane goshi is the placement of the right leg during the throw?
I use to do koshi nage hip throw in aikido,,,, but i think with uchi mata using leg sweep in real life is more applicable and less kuzuzi required
One of the hardest throws
Hi Sampson, thank you for your brilliant videos, they are a huge help! I was wondering, I'm a musician and it's my career etc. I do judo twice a week and have been for about 2 months. I tape my fingers up and haven't had any finger trouble yet, is there anything else you can suggest for protecting fingers? Have you had much finger trouble during your time as a judoka?
Hi Joe,
I haven't had too much finger trouble, a broken finger every so often but nothing that regular. Finger tape is the best thing as it offers support whilst still giving flexibility to train. I would also suggest researching effective finger taping techniques to make sure you are making the most out of your tape. The only other way to protect against finger damage would be to avoid grip fighting as much as you can. I am aware that grip fighting is a big part of modern judo however be selective when you go hard on the grip fighting. There is no need to go crazy every session, this way you can protect your hands as much as possible. I have also personally developed a style that generally avoids grip fighting. It may be a big thing in modern judo, but I personally do not rely on it. If there is interest, I may record a short video on this. My key bit of advise would be to listen to your body. If your fingers and hands are hurting, give them time to heal to protect your career.
Hi Sampson,
Wow, thank you so much for the in-depth answer, I really really appreciate it! That makes a lot of sense, a lot of the classes I go to are early morning technical classes that end with light randori so i'm not in too much danger of getting into dangerous situations. If you ever did do a video on your style of avoiding grip fighting, that would be perfect!
Once again, thank you so much for taking the time, I know you must be busy!
All the very best!
Could you please do a harai goshi tutorial?
Thank you, Sensei.
I joined judo in September last year I'm still a white belt and I want to know the throws and techniques for yellow belt, please?
Hi Awkward Cherry,
It depends on what country and organisation you are with as each organisation has their own grading requirements. What one are you with?
The toshidokan judo club
I'm not familiar with that club, but it seems you are a member of Judo Canada (if I am looking at the right club). The best thing to do would be to ask the sensei at your club as they will know the grading requirements.
Sampson Judo club yes it is Canada.
Hi sensei ...
Can uchimata be effective against a taller opponent? If yes how can i execute it?
Thanks
Mirko Paragano yes, it can work. It is harder to do against a taller opponent. If there is a significant height difference then you might want to consider a throw such as tai otoshi or a low seoi nage.
please more videos!!!!!
I always get kicked in the nuts when being Uchi Mata'ed. My rancori parter is either doing doing something right or something wrong.
I've never had that happen, so something odd is going on!
@@vampsin4116you have no balls
Definitely doing something wrong 😆
Love your videos but I'm 6ft 6. Coming under 90% of opponents this way is impossible due to the size difference. Particularly with O100kg shorties. Shame most BJA clubs teach it as a leg sweep with zero hip contact. But the tsurite for me has to be like Anton Geesink and modern competition with the elbow as high as possible. It opens up more entries but I still much prefer to stay on my feet than give in to just to rolling everywhere like modern judo.
I hope that one day you might produce a series on misnomers, modern judo versus classical as well as high level training. I know there's a lot of politics in judo just in general but life is too short and going around on reddit I know there are plenty who want a more open debate.
The point of learning martial art is to come up with your own strategy
foot sweeps and gari's are the way for you
Hi there. I'm 6ft6 and a common comment I get is to make uchi mata one of my main throws but it worries me for a number of reasons.
- the common practice of diving and potentially landing on uke
- how to perform it on much shorter, very heavy opponents
- getting a shido in competition for committing to the throw
- seriously landing on my own head as this is a story I've heard from others
I'm strong, muscular, athletic and lean for my size hovering at just under 100kg and currently gaining more weight in the gym. Any help would be greatly appreciated as you mention in the video about doing a part 2.
You're strong and are feared of hurting your partners, right? Don't worry, if you feel youre falling in someone, you only land in them if you want, because is always possible roll over and mitigate the power of the throw
And with time you will learn to stay stand
Other than that, injuries rarely occurs, and shen they do they are always result of bad tecnique
Thanks for the technique Shihan. Osu
Wait hold the fuck up... did shadow just do an Uchi Mata?
OSS! 🥋
0:02
you are exellent in jedo wawww
ahmed madridi go subscribe to me g
Good tecnique , im black belt in judo mi sis is orange belt ,that sevre to much for her .
he did left and right thigh...i am confused. my sensei says to go for the right thigh, but i see everyone go for the left thigh...
Go for the right thigh and you may catch the left
thanks
iam your youtube Student :)
thanks it helped me fite a bully
🖒
2:26 easy partner...
If it's hip deep then the thigh is so wide that going a little to the left or right makes no difference
Sensei
I've never understood why they call the traditional japanese version uchimata. The fundamental mechanics it uses are the same as ogoshi, meaning that you use your hips to throw the opponent. If uchimata is supposed to mean inner thigh sweep, then why not perform a inner thigh sweep? To me, there are better variations out there that illustrate the principle then the traditional japanese version, which really should be a hip technique (koshi kategori) and not classified as a sweep technique.
harai goshi pleas
3:15
If the throw's done with the hips then why is it classified as a leg technique?
because you use a leg to sweep. Don't you see how people end witha leg suspended in the air when they do a uchi mata?
@2:26 ... What The Heck?
Yes, seems unnecessary.

Yo soy especialista en uchi mata papuh Bv
Great video. 2:27 though ...I don't know if you wanna be touching students there.
can u do it on a regular person wearing normal clothes? lol depending so much on grabbing the GI is not gonna be practical in real life. SO much more some guys usually take off their shirts in fights. Thanks
Yes, it is very possible to do without a Gi. You can check out my 'No Gi' series to see how some other throws are done without a gi. I will also cover a no gi uchi mata in the future.
Repsaj D either grab around the head or arm around the waist
Repsaj D you can throw a person with a gi without a gi and even if that person is naked
This video demonstrates how it's done and what you should practice.... And this is for the beginners
People who train for years can do it without any problem
Grab onto their chest hair because they are “so manly” XD
Repsaj D depends where you live also. I live in new jersey where half the year it is colder so people where jackets, jeans, and belts. So the gi is practical. Then again i try and do no gi also for the other half the year
ana men le fen & shtema
No sir,that is not a traditional japanese way.quite the contrary.sorry.
a7at bs blnyat
What a poor guy really
Ahahahaha. Shame
Sorry but you talk to much make more move
Excellent breakdown. Thank you.
