Thanks! Uchi mata is my favorite throw, especially from the overhook position.

Vlad has has a nasty takedown game

Beautiful

I will always say “hoochie mamma” to remember the name of this throw

Fabricio Andrey uchi mata'ed the hell out of some monsters this WNO. Fun event!

It has served me well as a counter to single leg takedowns and even as a turn over on a turtled opponent.

Uchimata can be an awesome opening for Harai Goshi as well.

In gi jiu-jitsu or judo, I tend to throw a ko uchi gari to force a wide stance, followed by an uchi mata (and, if necessary, a tai otoshi or a knee tap to finish, though the latter is illegal in judo). If it’s no-gi, I usually go straight to the uchi mata since I’m throwing from an overhook or underhook (with the same tai otoshi or knee tap follow-up).

I love how versitile this move is. Because if executed correctly, you can do this powerful throw in gi and nogi.

This one time, at band camp...
I got uchimataed so hard that my legs went numb. That was also the first time I'd even been thrown. lol
