Uki Goshi (浮腰) is one of the original 40throws ofJudo as developed byJigoro Kano. It belongs to the first group,Dai Ikkyo, of the traditional throwing list, Gokyo (no waza), of Kodokan Judo. It is also part of the current 67 Throws of Kodokan Judo. It is classified as a hip technique,Koshi-Waza. Uki goshi is known as a favorite throw of Jigoro Kano himself. It is demonstrated in the Nage no Kata. It used to be much drilled in traditional judo dojos.
Uki Goshi, also known as floating hip, is a type ofhip throw. To execute the throw, the person throwing (known astori) pulls the person being thrown, (known asuke) up and forward putting them offbalance.Tori placesuke round his/her back while turning so that the side of his/her hip is in close contact withuke and pullinguke's arm around.Tori then twistsuke around usingtori's back and hip as a pivot point.[1][2]
Tori's leading leg barely blocksuke's leading leg andtori is initially slightly sideways touke rather than completely giving his back. It relies on a high level of skill but can be used more easily against heavier people thanO Goshi.
Uki goshi was developed byJigoro Kano in the nineteenth century while he was studyingJujutsu inJapan.[3] Kano went on to createJudo and in 1895 he included Uki goshi in the first standard syllabus of Judo throws called the gokyo no waza.[4][5]
