Перевод: knee wheel
Hiza Guruma is a judo foot technique (ashi waza) where the attacker blocks the opponent's knee with the sole of the foot while pulling them forward and around, causing them to wheel over the blocked leg. [1] The attacker places the sole of the foot against the opponent's knee, then uses a circular pulling motion with the hands to rotate the opponent over the pivot point. [1] It is classified in the first group of the Gokyo no Waza. [1]
Classified in the Kodokan Judo syllabus. [1]
Kodokan judo lineage: Jigoro Kano (1860–1938) systematized this technique as part of the Kodokan judo curriculum. Transmitted through the Kodokan instructor system to judo federations worldwide. Adopted into BJJ through Mitsuyo Maeda → Carlos Gracie → the Gracie family lineage. [1]
Recognized Kodokan judo technique but rarely seen in modern IJF competition due to rule changes favoring forward-throwing techniques. Occasionally appears in kata demonstrations and regional tournaments. [1]

Hiza guruma (knee wheel) blocks the opponent's knee with the sole of the foot while wheeling them over with a pulling motion. One of the first throws in the Gokyo no Waza (five groups of techniques). (Kano, Kodokan Judo)
You need to keep your body balanced while dropping your opponent's balance. Focus on maintaining your own stability as you execute the technique—avoid closing in too tightly, as this will compromise your own balance.
Proper stepping is essential to the technique. Practice the correct step sequence methodically (one, two, three) to ensure smooth execution and proper positioning before applying the technique.

Оценка опасности 5/10. Moderate — the opponent falls sideways over the blocked knee.
Стандартная цепочка подготовки: Push-pull to create forward movement → block knee as opponent steps → circular pull for the throw → Feint Osoto Gari → opponent shifts weight forward → immediate Hiza Guruma → Grip fighting to get dominant grip → off-balance forward → Hiza Guruma.
Стандартные контрприёмы: Step over the blocking foot — remove the pivot point / Push the attacker's blocking leg down — collapse their base / Drive forward through the attempt — overwhelm the technique with pressure.
Распространённые варианты: Inside Hiza Guruma (blocking from inside the leg); Outside Hiza Guruma (blocking from outside); Combination with Osoto Gari (feint the wheel, switch to reap).
Recognized Kodokan judo technique but rarely seen in modern IJF competition due to rule changes favoring forward-throwing techniques. Occasionally appears in kata demonstrations and regional tournaments.
Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Pushing the knee instead of blocking it — this warns the opponent / Pulling straight instead of circularly — the wheel effect is lost / Blocking too high (thigh) or too low (shin) — the knee is the pivot point / Not committing to the pull — half-hearted attempts fail.
Hiza Guruma также известен как Hiza Guruma, Hiza-Guruma, Knee Wheel Throw, Hizaguruma.
