UCHI KOMI (Repetition training, form practice)
It is a method of developing proper form by repeat the application of a technique many times. It is usually done with a partner who retains his/her position as you practice moving in and out, applying a technique. At first the form is practiced without actually throwing the partner. Next one should attempt to throw the partner on every tenth try. By working assiduously, one will become so proficient that one will not have to think of form, and will be able to apply automatically the correct technique for any opening
UCHI-MAKIKOMI (Inner wrap-around)
A sacrifice. This throw looks very similar to IPPON-SEOI-NAGE but it is finished off with a sacrifice winding (MAKIKOMI) action which in turn can make it look similar to YOKO-WAKARE.
UCHIMATA (Inner thigh reaping throw)
A foot technique throw. 9th technique of NAGE NO KATA. It is one of the few throws in this group in which UKE is thrown to his/her front and not backwards. The success of this move depends on placing your thigh as far in as possible between the UKE’s thighs and lifting him off the ground, throwing him down with the power of your hands, hip, and thigh if the UKE stands in the natural position, he will be difficult to throw, his/her legs, therefore, should be made to spread apart, or his weight should be made to rest on one leg. There are two main styles of this throw: Ouchimata, the deep turn, and Kouchimata, the straight leg sweep. In Ouchimata, contact is made by TORI with the back of his/her thigh, in Kouchimata with the outside of the thigh. To get a strong sweep in Kouchimata, the working leg should be kept as straight as possible, with the toes pointed. It is a perfect throw for a small man to attempt this throw on a bigger opponent – but then there is always the odd exception, one of the delightful surprises in JUDO competition.
