3 UCHI MATA COUNTERS TO SINGLE LEG - BATTLE BEETLE TUTORIAL # 33

[Quiet Russian]

In this no gi tutorial Kirill Sementsov breaks down 3 ways to counter the Single Leg takedown with the Uchi Mata throw (aka the Inner Thigh throw in Sambo). This technique proved its effectiveness in many martial arts, so why not try it in training if you haven't done it yet?!

 

[georgegreece]

It's the best fucking technique ever invented.

 

[Calibur]

This won't work with resisting opponent.

Are you serious? -_o

 

[georgegreece]

No, it's an ok counter but you got to do it fast.

Both in wrestling and bjj i have used this counter successfully. I may also do it with a chin pick however depending on how badly the guy pissed me off.

Every "douche" move in grappling for this situation. I am a big advocate on asshole moves, they work wonderfully, and if the gym is full of "nice guys", it puts them well out of their comfort zone. Rolled with a guy before when I cross-faced him, he acted like I reaped. lol

To me there is a dif between being rough and being overly angry. I will crossface the shit out of anyone. Chin pick uchi matas and back arches are reserved for pos.

- Cool video, Bro.

Never underestimate the utility of a simple forearm across the throat.

Really like the look of this. Thanks!

I like how this looks but has it ever been done in MMA?

Maybe you're right, but I'm always thinking of this, lol. (No offence, bros!)

I've seen this move in several fights, but do not remember what exactly.

At about 3:05 there’s a couple, more in the video too


A lot of her throws were uchi-mata versus single legs

It’s more common in Russian and Asian MMA, where people are better at uchi-mata than the average US-based MMA fighter.

 

[Gabicho]

Good video.
I'm particularly bad at uchi mata, but i always use the entry as a feint-setup to transition to:
- Sumi gaeshi if they are overly agressive
- Kani basami if they just stand there
- Harai goshi if they try to duck under.

 

[Auspex]

This is my go-to for single legs. that or the rolling kimura/sumigaeshi

 

[vcmmafan]

Battle Beatle?

 

[georgegreece]

You can counter leg trips with an uchi mata as well.

Please pardon my ignorance but what is a chin pick?

Im pretty sure Luis Santos countered a ben Askren shot with this technique. It was really a thing of beauty and shocking as all hell considering it was Ben Askren. The fight in its entirety used to be all over YouTube but im having trouble finding it. Try this video. Peruse the entire thing but I believe 1:36 is the technique we're talking about.

This is not even remotely close to the single leg counter shown by the OP.
