How To Do Hiza Guruma Judo Throw With The Appropriate Foot Placement
It is rather frequent for the location of the foot and specifically the heal, to be incorrect when doing the Judo throw Hiza-Guruma.
That is presumably not shocking as a result of I used to be by no means corrected after I was a junior. That isn’t essentially the fault of the trainer as it could possibly simply seem that the foot place is right or assumed that it’s right as a result of the throw seems to execute O in apply as Uke cooperates and falls over.
As a junior Hiza-Guruma not often labored
As a junior after I began competing and located that Hiza-Guruma not often labored. I concluded that the throw was mainly a present throw and never very helpful. Nonetheless, after I noticed that others had been getting it to work I realised that one thing was incorrect so I began to analysis why. The issue was that, simply as my instructors had assumed I used to be doing the throw appropriately, it appeared to me that everyone was doing it appropriately as effectively.
It turned out that there have been and nonetheless are quite a lot of Judoka that do it incorrectly.

The flawed assumption
One flawed assumption is that the throw is executed by blocking the leg. The blocking is right however for Hiza-Gurma to work it’s a must to block the knee not the thigh or the shin as many do. This can be a downside as a result of it permits Uki to simply step over the foot and keep away from the throw altogether.
The opposite flawed assumption was that the throw is executed by your toes across the knee or leg to be able to push the leg inward in the direction of Uki’s different leg inflicting uke to stumble ahead as they attempt to proceed in a straight line or roll sideways. This truly works typically however requires much more instability than is usually the case even in a contest or within the case of rolling sideways for Uki to be doing one thing like skipping round Tori in a circle. The latter does typically occur which I think is why Judoka proceed to do it this manner.
Variation or Effectivity
After all, if Uke does skip sideways and they’re caught by Troi’s foot across the knee, that is nonetheless Hiza-Guruma, it is only a variation. Nonetheless, it’s a motion that’s manner much less frequent and the throw can work in lots of different situations whether it is simply finished appropriately.
The video exhibits the right placement of the foot/heel to be able to make the throw work most effectively. I wished to focus on foot placement as a result of that’s the commonest error. So the Kuzushi (breaking of the steadiness) will not be included.
Dah! or Ahh!
Now I do know there are some studying this which might be going to say, “effectively Dah!” However be mindful there are quite a lot of Judoka which have had issues with this throw with out figuring out why. They don’t seem to be one of many fortunate ones that intuitively received it proper. They don’t seem to be one of many even rearer Judoka that had it taught to them the right manner from the very begin.
I’m prepared to wager that there will likely be much more those that watch this video and somewhat than saying, “Dah” they are going to say, “Ahh! that is how it’s alleged to work”.
