UCHI – MATA:  There are 4 basic techniques that you must learn and practice them well and you will improve the quality and effectiveness for uchi-mata.

1. 1. TSURI – KOMI – GOSHI: Will help you improving your hip action and position by lowering your body position
      1. Imrove your suri -te pulling sleeve and shiche – te elevation of lapel
   2. TAI – OTOSHI: Will help put the emphasis necessary to finish the throw
   3. KOSHI – GURUMA:  Teaching the action of lowering your hip and placing the hip in the right direction
   4. O – SOTO – GARI: Will increase your balance and strength in your leg for the pendulum of the leg

• • • When you finish o-soto-gari this is the same leg pendulum needed for uchimata

GRIPS ARE ALSO VERY IMPORTANT

1 – IT IS RECOMMENDED TO ALWAYS TEACH THE BASIC GRIPS UNDER THE ARMPIT AS PER TSURI-KOMI-GOSHI

2- OVER THE ARM TO GRIP THE LAPEL

3- GRAB THE COLLAR AND CONTROL THE ARM

4- OUTSIDE GRIP

5- MY FAVORITE BACK GRIP (FROM COLLAR SLIDE DOWNWARD YOUR ARM GRIP TO THE MID BACK AREA, CONTROL THE BACK, AND MORE CONTROL OF YOUR OPPONENT

6- MOST POWERFEUL GRIP UNDER ARMPIT OR IN FRONT OF OPPONENT ARM
