UCHI MATA or PODHVAT: Uchi mata also known as Inner Thigh Throw and its one of the original 40 throws of Judo as developed by Jigoro Kano. In Judo it belongs to a belongs group of throws, Dai Nikyo, which is from the traditional throwing list, Gokyo (no waza), of Kodokan Judo. This throw is classified as Nage Waza and its sub classification is called Ashi Waza. Its part of the current 67 Throws of Judo. The most common counter to uchi mata is uchi mata sukashi and Te Guruma. But as Master Koulikov taught me, if they are sloppy, you can do a single leg takedown. It is still one of the most used throws in Judo and Sambo. *******************************Self Defense Instructor, Mixed Martial Arts Trainer, Sport Conditioning Coach, Combat Sambo Instructor.
