If anybody here does judo, can you tell me what the **** is the difference between O Goshi and Uki Goshi?

I've studied it and can't see the slightest thing.

It's been a while since I did judo, so I had to look it up, but in uki-goshi you rather pull your opponent over your hip, while in an o-goshi, you more or less lift your opponent with your hips before you swing him over your them. The main difference is the way you step in. In an o-goshi you keep your two legs closer to each other, while in an uki goshi you extend one leg a bit more to aid your opponent in falling down. Also in an o-goshi, you have to go through your knees a bit to lift make it easier to lift. In the other throw, you keep your legs straight.

At least, that's what I think I remember and can make out on the pictures of the little photocopied training books they handed out in my club.

Hi

It's a while since I did it too and I'm about to take my blue belt, not sure I'll get away with doing two o goshis but we'll see how it goes.

Thanks

That's another distinction I find hard to make.

That may have some truth in it but as such I do judo for sport, and in order to pass my next grading I need to get this technique sorted. On my way home if the Gracie Brothers take exception to me I can always run away.
