The purpose of doing Uchikomi is to improve your ability to throw an opponent. This video features an Uchikomi drill used at Welcome Mat. Doing hundreds of Uchikomi in an unrealistic way does not do anything of great value for a judo, jujitsu or sambo athlete. Have a purpose when doing Uchikomi (or any phase of training) and make your valuable time on the mat useful. Simply doing hundreds of Uchikomi will not improve your throwing ability. An old (but too often used) phrase used by judo instructors who don't have an answer to a student's problem on a throw is; "Do more Uchikomi." Don't do more Uchikomi, do more useful Uchikomi-and do more throwing drills on the crash pads. Functional and effective skills are the result of functional and effective training.
