I think the hands and upper body are integral to the finish but they lower body needs to aid the efforts.

It is still a leg throw like uchi mata I teach my students to over shoot the target. If you hit the far leg with the uchi mata it still works. The general judo rule that you don't circle into someone's power hard lends to people unwinding the technique. By over shooting the target uke will often move right onto the sweet spot instinctually. If you undershoot the technique you will get hit with a sukashi.

F.D.

I am confused on the lift for the big uchi; are you lifting it hane goshi style (but at a shallow angle) or just the hip point with a lean and the sweeping leg is the lift like harai. I thought I saw both?

I love this. It's also helpful to see others drilling it in the class and the corrections that are made. Do you think the upper body really does most of the work once you have the leg/hip position right? Would love to see the big UM in slo mo!!!
