Why Uchikomi Disappears in Randori

 

Learn how to start seeing the hidden conditions that must exist before a throw can work.

 

Your athletes may be doing uchikomi.

The movement may look fast.
The shape may look correct.
The rhythm may look good.

But when randori starts, the technique disappears.

This free lesson shows you how to begin seeing what happens before the throw — posture, distance, kuzushi, grip, reaction, timing, and the first point that must be corrected.

This is not another technique video.

This is the first step to upgrading your Coaching Eye.

Uchikomi is happening.
But is it becoming performance?

Many coaches see the same problem.

It looks correct

✓The athlete repeats the technique.

✓The athlete understands the shape.

✓The athlete can perform the movement in uchikomi.

But under pressure

But under pressure, the technique breaks down.

Ă—The athlete cannot enter.

Ă—The athlete loses balance.

Ă—The athlete gets countered.

Ă—The athlete falls before the throw is completed.

At that moment, the problem is often not the technique itself.

The real problem may have happened before the entry.

A throw can fail before the throw begins.

The basic idea behind the JAPAN JUDO GENOME Coaching Eye

Do your athletes truly trust your corrections?

 

Athletes are not only listening to your voice.

They are watching your eye.

When you correct them, they feel whether your correction creates real change.

If your correction is vague, confidence becomes weaker.

If your correction is accurate, the athlete begins to trust your vision.

Your correction is your credibility.

This free lesson is designed to help you begin seeing deeper, correcting sharper, and building trust through better diagnosis.

What Is JAPAN JUDO GENOME?

Decode the hidden structure of Japanese Judo.

JAPAN JUDO GENOME is not a collection of techniques.

It is a coaching system designed to help coaches see why techniques work — and why they fail.

Inside Japanese judo, there are structures that are often taught through repetition, correction, atmosphere, and experience.

But when those structures are not verbalized, many coaches only receive the surface.

JAPAN JUDO GENOME turns those hidden structures into coaching language.

Not to give easy answers.

But to train the coach’s eye.

Koji Kakamu

Saudi Arabia Judo National Head Coach
Former Head Coach of the Japan Junior and Cadet Men’s National Team


Koji Kakamu has worked in high-level youth development in Japan and has coached athletes at international junior and cadet levels.

He now serves as the National Head Coach of Saudi Arabia Judo.

Through his work in Japan and overseas, he has repeatedly seen the same problem:

Athletes practice techniques.
They repeat uchikomi.
The movement may look correct from the outside.
But under pressure, the technique does not work.

His focus is not simply to show techniques.

His focus is to develop the eye that can see why techniques fail, what must be fixed first, and how to turn correction into training.

JAPAN JUDO GENOME is based on the belief:

 No Education, No Judo.
