Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Ko-uchi-gari, one of the masters of the technique, Olympic Champion Mark Huizinga of The Netherlands, reveals three incredible variations. Along with his classical Ko-uchi-gari, Huizinga shows two extremely effective Ko-uchi-makikomis; one for right handed opponents and one for left. Huizinga is joined by eight other leading experts, including Japan’s Keiji Suzuki; the man who revolutionised Ko-uchi-gari. Russia’s Kirill Denisov performs Ko-uchi-gari either with a skipping entry or as a double attack, whilst Ugo Legrand uses a twitch entry. France’s Lucie Décosse’s preferred way of using the throw is either from an opponent’s deep grip or alongside her Tokui-waza – O-uchigari. An unusual cross grip variation comes from Ole Bischof of Germany, with his compatriot Udo Quellmalz showing how Ko-uchi-gari can be the ultimate counter attack. Finally, don’t miss the incredible variety of combinations performed by USA’s Kayla Harrison, Korea’s Ki-young Jeon and Suzuki. Throwing descriptions and tuition are accompanied by incredible photographic sequences, with the key technical moments highlighted. Many of the images are shown for the first time and come from Fighting Films’ vast photograph archive. Fighting Films has been closely working alongside the world’s greatest judoka for over 30 years.
