𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵-𝗨𝗽 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. The most common and most popular form of Uchimata in the world.

𝗛𝗼𝗽-𝗜𝗻 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. Quite an advanced technique. The entry is a bit difficult to do. But very dynamic.

𝗞𝗲𝗻-𝗞𝗲𝗻 (𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴) 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. Useful for times when a direct launch is not possible and you need to hop around before you can topple uke over.

𝗦𝗹𝗲𝗲𝘃𝗲-𝗣𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. This one is done Sode-style. Not very common but it is effective.

𝗦𝗹𝗲𝗲𝘃𝗲-𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. This one is done when uke is gripping tight onto your sleeve and refuses to let go. You try to break it a few times, causing uke to grip even tighter. That's when you launch into the attack. Uke is a victim of his own tight sleeve grip!

𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮-𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗸𝗼𝗺𝗶 (𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵). This one is done when you launch a normal Uchimata but need to do a Makikomi-action to complete the throw.

𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮-𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗸𝗼𝗺𝗶 (𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸). In this version, you don't even attempt a regular Uchimata at first. You go straight for the Makikomi wrap on uke's arm and rotate uke over.

𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. This one gives tori great control over one side of uke's body. It allows for a very powerful whipping action.

𝗢𝗴𝗼𝘀𝗵𝗶-𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. This is one of the safest Uchimatas to do. Very difficult for uke to counter this attack because of the position of tori's arms, around uke's waist.

𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. Very similar to the Ogoshi-Grip Uchimata. It's a power technique, with tori using the Koshi-Guruma-like grip to rotate uke over.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲-𝗦𝗲𝗼𝗶-𝗡𝗮𝗴𝗲-𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. This technique is for the short player, especially those who like to do Morote-Seoi-Nage. It's a pure ashiwaza, with the hips getting out of the way during the execution of the throw. The arms and the legs are important here, not so the hips.

𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘀-𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. This is also useful for the shorter player and like the Morote-Seoi-Style Uchimata, the hips player no role here. It's basically arms and legs.

𝗔𝗿𝗺𝗽𝗶𝘁-𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. Yet another version for the shorter player. The grip on uke's armpit gives tori the leverage to bend uke over. Finishing is very similar to the Triceps-Grip Uchimata.

𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. This version is loosely based on the kata form of Uchimata. You whirl uke around in the direction of your lapel-grip hand and position them perfectly for an Uchimata entry.

𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽-𝗛𝗶𝗽 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. Although Uchimata is technically a leg throw, sometimes the hips play a big role too. This is a version where the hips go in really deep.

𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻-𝗔𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. This version of Uchimata mainly involves the legs and less the hips. It has tori turning sharply away from uke during the execution of the throw.

𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻-𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. In a kenka-yotsu situation, tori takes a very deep, high grip over uke’s back and sometimes even grabs the belt in order to exert strong, dominant control over uke’s upper body. The finishing sometimes requires a few hops.

𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗮𝗻-𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. In an ai-yotsu situation, tori takes a high cross grip, sometimes even grabbing the belt, and launches into a powerful Uchimata off that very powerful grip.

𝗧𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗶-𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. It’s difficult to do Uchimata from an ai-yotsu situation because of the positioning of tori and uke’s bodies. One way to overcome this is to use a Tenri Grip, which elevates tori’s lapel hand’s power to push uke’s head down.

𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲-𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. This highly unusual grip allows tori to have the same effect of the Tenri Grip without putting too much of a strain on tori’s shoulder (which the Tenri Grip tends to do). Azerbaijan’s Olympic Champion Nazim Gusseinov liked doing his techniques this way.

𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. This version has been around for a long time. It is a complex technique that requires spinning uke around in the direction of tori’s sleeve hand and doing a pivot movement to execute the technique. The resulting throw is very dynamic.

𝗢𝗻𝗲-𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. This version is very similar in concept to the one-handed Tai-Otoshi, except this one involves a lift by tori’s attacking leg. Basically, instead of getting a lapel grip, tori would get a grip on uke’s far forearm to execute the throw. Tori usually resorts to this when it’s hard to secure a lapel grip on uke.

Front Uchimata.This variation is very popular in international competition with players (both male and female) from various countries adopting it as part of their repertoire. It is loosely based on a sumo technique called Yagura-Nage.

Hand-Post Uchimata. This is a highly unusual form of Uchimata which involves a Makikomi-wrapping action around the arm, an Ouchi hook on uke’s leg and a forward roll with the hand posted for guidance and support. It was pioneered by Natik Bagirov of Belarus.

𝗢𝗳𝗳-𝘁𝗵𝗲-𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮. In recent years, IJF declared that if a player is on the ground but with elbows still above the ground, the situation is still tachi-waza. As such, even if uke drops to their knees, they can still be thrown for ippon!

𝗨𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝘃𝘀 𝗞𝗼𝘀𝗼𝘁𝗼. Attacking an opponent’s lead leg with a hugging kosoto is very dangerous. Unless you have a very powerful kosoto, your opponent can quite easily counter you with Uchimata.
