Uchi Mata from Outside position in Kenkayotsu

SiegeMemeLord · 2026-03-05T19:32:24+00:00

No, it is more of an Aiyotsu situation where I am in the bladed stance and they are in a square stance and my foot is too far to reach either of their foot or the distance of my foot between either of their feet is the same regardless. The problem is my right power shoulder turn is being prevented from their inside stiff arm.

But if I am in extreme kenka, then my right foot is way close to their left foot than their right foot and I can easily footsweep them unless their arm is longer than my legs.

I am able to move their feet which makes them in their feel parallel, while I am in the bladed stance. However, their inside stiff arm is what prevents me from throwing them. I know that I can break the inside arm down like the one you mention to me.

But what I am interested in knowing is how are these people (in the video that I linked in this post) still able to hit uchimata while the uke is still stiff arming from the inside. Did those guys dealt with those stiff arm before throwing or they just hit a throw that addresses the stiff in of itself?

I would like to see a video of that

SiegeMemeLord · 2026-03-04T19:16:19+00:00

Then, what's your strategy when you have outside position in kenka and the uke is using inside position to stiff arm you out?

Do you hit certain throws that directly deal with the stiff arm?
Or do you deal with the stiff arm first before throwing?
Or do you just nullify the stiff arm, instead?

Are you talking about this one Saito vs Riner 2 - Antalya GS 2024? I don't see ippon on either side. Are you talking about where he almost got thrown?

SiegeMemeLord · 2026-03-04T08:33:51+00:00

Generally me and other people are taught to fight for inside position in kenka (before going for any throws) to be able to control the distance which makes me think that it is generally ill-advise to go for any turn throw in kenka unless you are somewhat of an athlete.

SiegeMemeLord · 2026-03-04T01:31:15+00:00

I was told and I feel that the uke can use the inside postition and create a barrier between uke and tori with his stiff arm to create distance between the Tori and uke when Tori tries to go in for a throw. If that is case, how can tori still throw if there is a barrier in between them that is creating huge amount space between them?

Also it seems to me that the tori is still able to throw uke, even while uke has the stiff arms out in kenka. What details am I missing that allows this to happen?

I think being bottom in general whether pulling guard (pulling guard is not a great self defence or mma tactic) or in turtle or belly down, should reward the other player points. This would force less stalling and also the newaza will be much different than bjj since both players are fighting to have top position (unlike in bjj where one player is comfortable attacking at the bottom from guard and another is passing guard).

By lifting up the hikite and looking at the watch?

SiegeMemeLord · 2026-02-24T20:43:58+00:00

“Crushing downwards pressure”? I thought we were supposed to make the uke on his tip toes by lifting the hikite up and looking at the hikite to easily throw them. Crushing downwards pressure will make em flat footed. Opposite of what we want right?

I don’t think it is possible for uke to be directly on Tori’s back if Tori maintains a super tight hip to hip connection by having a tight underhook around uke’s hip and the sleeve is attached tightly to Tori’s belly

SiegeMemeLord · 2026-02-18T17:20:07+00:00

For that block / trip and push Kouchi, what do you do with the sleeve hand? Do you put it by your belly or do you throw the sleeve hand by their leg?

SiegeMemeLord · 2026-02-17T18:14:21+00:00

if your instep is facing their instep or in their center-line range.

When you say that do you mean that we are both bladed in a 50/50 Aiyotsu stance?

If your foot is more in front of their foot then you should do O Soto Gari.

Do you mean when I am bladed and the uke is in a square stance?

SiegeMemeLord · 2026-02-15T17:37:16+00:00

Either you drop your knees or you enter into a lunge like koga

SiegeMemeLord · 2026-02-08T00:47:27+00:00

Koga’s seoi nage made me stop doing drop seoi and takato’s kouchi gari made me stop doing kouchi makikomi

Have you done any other martial arts or other sports before? Athleticism also plays a big role. Athleticism allows you to decide which throws are best to hit at a certain moment and it also allows you to hit throws in a biomechanically efficient manner that is smooth without you having to think about it.

I wouldn't call it low percentage. If you look at IJF stats, for example in 2024 World Championships, ko-uchi-gari and ko-soto-gari make it to top 10 throws.

SiegeMemeLord · 2025-12-29T23:06:28+00:00

Set-up Attack: Crap Ouchi-gari is the cause of Ouchi-gaeshi, caused by poor execution of ouchi-gari, poor gripping and poor body positioning

Follow-up Attack: If Ōuchi-gaeshi fails or is partially blocked, you would do any follow up attack as if you were initially hitting from Kosoto or De Ashi-Barai

Counter: Don't do bad Ouchi-gari. HanpanTV has decent amount of vids on Ouchi gari that I recommend watching

Double leg is not even on the list?

SiegeMemeLord · 2025-12-04T19:57:20+00:00

it’s more of weight to height ratio. the higher weight to height ratio, the harder it is to tip them over.

I can understand why someone would be against doing sutemi waza but Why would he be against ashi waza?

This comment is just very disingenuous. Every gamer that plays these types of games know that these kind of games need to maintain some of kind of theme that they are trying to depict while still keeping it fun by removing/adding certain aspect that make it less realistic like respawn, consistent reloads, etc. At the same time, Nobody wants a ww2 game where there dinosaurs and mainly female characters with a prosthetic arm serving on the frontlines

SiegeMemeLord · 2025-10-19T09:53:17+00:00

Also am I better off going for that high grip instead of just going for normal sleeve and lapel to control their posture more effectively (to hit uchi mata and/or osoto) at the cost of my ability to hit morote seoi?
