Judo Level 5: Hane Goshi — Let hip and leg spring together

跳腰, hane-goshi, belongs to hip techniques. Hane suggests springing, not an instruction for the practitioner to jump.

Kodokan describes forward imbalance followed by rear-hip and leg action springing upward. Follow the hands connecting the bodies and the transition from entry to spring.

Read hane-goshi's hip and working leg as one action. Kodokan describes springing upward with the rear hip and leg, not lifting with the arms and adding a leg swing. Follow how uke approaches the contact before the spring.

Harai Goshi emphasizes sweeping; Uchi Mata is a foot technique acting at the inner thigh. The combined title does not make their names or categories interchangeable.

Harai-goshi emphasizes a sweep; uchi-mata acts at the inner thigh. All three can look similar while uke is airborne. In the combined clip, inspect the moments before the lift and the contact, not just the leg's direction.

Ask an instructor to check support-leg stability and entry before adding the spring. If you jump after a distant partner, reset distance and imbalance.

The Level here refers to the IMAC Dojo curriculum. Use the article and clips to prepare questions and review them with your instructor. Practical training needs a suitable partner, space and controlled conditions.

Discuss the standing base and continuing sleeve-hand connection with your instructor. If you need to jump or fling yourself to imitate the footage, revisit distance. More visible movement does not establish that the springing principle has occurred.
