Ashi-guruma & Harai-goshi: Japan’s multiple World and Olympic Champions Keiji Suzuki and Kosei Inoue lead an all-star cast in this ground-breaking coaching book, as they reveal two of their most effective throws

Inoue, who used Harai-goshi to win his third World title, shows how it’s the perfect throw to work alongside Uchi-mata, whilst France’s Darcel Yandzi and Great Britain’s Winston Gordon present their Spinning Harai-goshis.

Colin Oates and Euan Burton, also of GB, both liked to throw with Harai-goshi, with Oates using Ashi-waza to set up his technique and Burton preferring to use a very powerful Harai-makikomi. And, don’t miss Mark Huizinga of The Netherlands, as he reveals his incredible Uchi-mata - Tai-otoshi - Ashi-guruma combination.

Throwing descriptions and tuition are accompanied by incredible photographic sequences, with the key technical moments highlighted. Many of the images are shown for the first time and come from Fighting Films’ vast photograph archive.
