@thejudonomad: The grip behind one of the most feared uchi mata in heavyweight judo. 🇯🇵 This week I was invited to @eastsidedojo in Plano, Texas, and got to train with @harasawa73 Hisayoshi Harasawa. Olympic silver medalist. World medalist. Two-time All-Japan Champion. Most people focus on the leg. He doesn’t. For him, uchi mata starts with the grip. Get it right, and the throw is already halfway done. Watch his hands. Then go try it at your next randori. 🥋 Thank you @harasawa73 and the whole Eastside family for the warm welcome. 🙏 🎥 Competition footage: @judogallery #foryou #judo
