Utsuri goshi

Utsuri Goshi, known as the 'Changing Hip Throw,' is a counter-throw that involves switching from one hip throw attempt to another in a fluid and dynamic manner. It is often used when the initial hip throw is defended or when the opponent's reaction creates an opportunity for a different technique. To execute Utsuri Goshi, you typically start by attempting a hip throw, such as O Goshi or Uchi Mata. As the opponent defends or counters, you quickly transition by shifting your hips and changing the direction of your attack. This involves releasing your initial grip and establishing a new one while simultaneously adjusting your body position. Once the new position is secured, you execute the second hip throw, using the opponent's momentum and off-balance to complete the technique. The key to Utsuri Goshi lies in the seamless transition between the two throws, requiring precise timing, flexibility, and adaptability.
