Judo term
Hane-goshi-gaeshi
- Pronunciation
- hah-neh goh-shee gah-eh-shee
- Meaning
- Spring hip counter
In Judo
Hane-goshi-gaeshi is an counter to . While Uke’s hip and bent leg prepare to spring, Tori stays balanced behind the turning body before being loaded, then reaps or hooks Uke’s supporting leg from the outside and guides Uke backward with the grips. Never reap that supporting leg from inside while behind the thrower.
How to recognize it
Look for Uke’s bent leg raised against the inside of Tori’s leg and Tori, not yet loaded on the hip, attacking Uke’s standing leg from outside.
Don't mix it up
Springing versus sweeping hip counter
applies the same outside attack against Harai-goshi. Seeing a bent springing leg rather than a straight sweeping leg tells you which counter name fits.
