To execute the Harai Goshi, you will begin by establishing a strong grip on your opponent’s upper body. This can be achieved through various grips, such as collar or sleeve grips, depending on your personal preference and the situation at hand. Once you have secured a strong grip, it’s time to initiate the throw.
As you step forward with your lead leg, you will simultaneously rotate your hips and pivot on your support leg. This movement generates the necessary momentum to sweep your opponent’s leg off the ground, destabilizing their base. The key to a successful Harai Goshi lies in the coordination between your upper body grip and the explosive hip rotation.
Timing is crucial for the Harai Goshi. It is important to execute the throw when your opponent’s weight is shifted onto their lead leg, making them vulnerable to being thrown off balance. By capitalizing on this moment, you can effectively execute the technique and take control of the fight.
