Hane Goshi

The Hane-goshi (Hip spring) Waza consists of lifting up the opponent's hips and legs and throwing him in a sudden motion.

This Waza is most easily executed from a Kenka yotsu stance (asymmetrical grips by the two opponents), with the Tsurite (Lifting hand) performing the lift, and the Hiki-te (Pulling hand) pulling the opponent forward.

This Waza is the same as the O-goshi (Large hip throw) up to the point where Tori spins his body around and brings Uke body snugly against him, but in this Waza, Tori will be carrying Uke on his leg, so he positions his sweeping leg to the outer side, with that knee bent at a 45-degree angle.

While carrying Uke on his bent leg, Tori springs straight upward and leans forward to execute the throw in a sudden motion.

This Hane-goshi (Hip spring) Waza closely resembles the Uchi-mata (Inner-thigh reaping throw) Waza.

In the Uchi-mata (Inner-thigh reaping throw) Waza, Tori extends his leg between Uke legs to execute the sweep, but in this Hane-goshi (Hip spring) Waza, Tori places his leg against Uke inner thigh area before springing upward.

Although the Uchi-mata (Inner-thigh reaping throw) is used more frequently than the Hane-goshi (Hip spring) in recent years, this Waza is easier to learn for combatants who lack the skill required for the Uchi-mata (Inner-thigh reaping throw).
