O-goshi into Uki-goshi

  1. O-goshi大腰
  2. Uki-goshi浮腰

Both are hip throws off the same entry, and the difference is how much lift you ask for. If your partner drops their weight and kills the full lift, the shallower floating hip turns them instead.

Step by step

The whole sequence in words. Described in the standard right-handed form.

  1. Take the standard grip, then slide your right arm around their waist for O-goshi and turn in.
  2. Feel them drop their hips and settle their weight so you cannot lift them.
  3. Do not fight the lift: bring your hip only partly across, so it sits against their side rather than under them.
  4. Pull hard on their right sleeve with your left hand and turn your shoulders sharply to the left.
  5. Rotate them around your hip rather than over it, keeping your feet planted.
  6. They land on their back beside you; keep the sleeve to support the fall.

Receiving it

Dropping your weight to kill the full hip lift works, and it changes the throw rather than stopping it: their hip comes only part way across, sits against your side, and you are turned around it instead of lifted over it. It is a shorter fall and a faster one. Do not relax because the lift has gone. Keep your chin tucked, keep the held sleeve long, and slap with your free left arm as your back lands beside them.

VI judo notes

Both throws are the same entry with different depth, so you are choosing by feel: if their belt line will not come above yours, stop asking for the lift and turn them around your hip instead. Their weight settling is felt through the arm around their waist before your legs have failed. Keep them glued to your side so the shorter throw still has something to turn.
