Uki Goshi

Uki Goshi is classified as Koshi Waza (Hip Technique) in Judo.

Uki Goshi involves using the hip as a fulcrum to lift and throw the opponent over your hip.

Here's a basic breakdown of how Uki Goshi is typically executed:

1. Grip: On the sleeve and around the back of your use (underneath their arm).
2. Kuzushi (Off-balance): Draw your opponent forwards using the sleeve grip, breaking their balance to the front corner.
3. Entry: Step across the front of your opponent, using the arm around the back to hold them firmly to your hip. Bend your knees slightly to get under your opponents centre of gravity.
4. Execution: Finish the throw by bringing your opponent over the edge of your hip in a "floating" action so that they land on their back in front of you.

Uki Goshi requires precise timing, coordination, and proper use of leverage to be effective.
