Hmmm - uchi mata sukashi is a te waza, and a different technique as there’s no manipulation of the Tori’s leg in that technique.

I think what we saw is much closer to uchi mata gaeshi, don’t you think?

[u/Sparks3391 → u/AshiWazaSuzukiBrudda]

No, uchi mata gaeshi requires you to stop ukis uchimata and then revers the direction backwards sweeping the supporting leg.

The direction is correct for sukeshi I don't believe tori is using his leg in the op he's just using his hands and shoulders to take ukis momentum and direct as he slips the technique. Definitely sukeshi even if a slightly unorthodox application.

I see your point about the direction for uchi mata gaeshi, makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

But I do think Uke is actively manipulating Tori’s leg here as part of the counter. USA 🇺🇸 judoka Nicole Stout shows it really well here.

It’s the same technique she’s showing, right?

[u/doggobandito → u/AshiWazaSuzukiBrudda]

Same technique as she is showing, yes - which is uchi mata sukashi

Uchi mata gaeshi sweeps away the supporting leg - very different
