Standard Hane Goshi
Genus跳腰(Hane Goshi)
TraditionalTranslation: springing hip throw
Overview
Standard Hane Goshi executes the classical spring hip throw where the thrower turns in, places the hip beneath the opponent, and drives the back of the calf or thigh upward against the opponent's inner thigh in a springing action while pulling with both hands to wheel the opponent over the hip. [1] The springing leg lifts the opponent's lower body from between the legs while the hands direct the upper body forward and over. [1],[2] The combined springing and wheeling action produces a powerful throw when the timing of the leg spring and hand pull are coordinated. [2],[3]
History & Origin
Effectiveness
Hane goshi (springing hip throw) generates throwing force through a combination of hip rotation and a springing leg action that lifts the opponent from below, producing dynamic throws. [1] It is less commonly seen in modern competition than harai goshi but remains effective when executed with proper timing. [2]
Lineage
Competition Record
The standard hane goshi is scored in IJF competition. [1]

Biomechanical Mechanism
Primary Action — Loading the opponent onto the hip and rotating them over it — the hip acts as the fulcrum
Joints Involved — Attacker's hip (fulcrum point), knees (deep bend for loading), core (rotation), opponent's centre of gravity (elevated)
Force Vector — Rotational — pulling and turning motion loads the opponent, then hip extension and rotation drives them over
Kuzushi (Off-balancing) — Forward and upward — breaking opponent's posture forward lifts their centre of gravity onto the attacker's hip
Position & Entry
From judo grip — Break the opponent's balance forward (kuzushi), turn in with hip below their centre of gravity, and rotate to throw
From clinch (overhook or underhook) — Secure inside position, turn the hips across the opponent's body, load and throw
Variants
Standard hip throw — full turn-in with hip below the opponent's centre of gravity
No-gi hip throw — adapted without gi grips, using overhook and collar tie
Drop hip throw — dropping to one knee to lower the fulcrum point
Combination hip throw — chaining from a failed foot technique or hand technique

FIAS Combat Sambo RulesPDFTraining Notes
✓Turn in deeply against uke with full hip contact — same entry as o goshi
✓Bend your throwing-side knee and place your calf against uke's inner thigh
✓Spring the leg backward while straightening the knee — this lifts uke's lower body
✓Simultaneously pull uke forward-and-over with both hands — the spring and the pull work together
✓Keep the support foot flat on the mat with a slightly bent knee for stability
✓The throwing leg should finish extended behind you as uke completes the fall
✓Practise the springing motion against a wall or post to develop the specific muscle pattern
Common Mistakes
!Placing the leg against the outside of uke's thigh instead of the inner thigh
!Not springing upward — the leg must drive up and back, not just back
!Losing upper-body control during the spring — keep pulling throughout
!Standing on tiptoes on the support leg — stay grounded
!Attempting the spring without first breaking uke's balance forward
!Using too much force in the spring and falling over yourself
!Not distinguishing the technique from uchi mata — hane goshi has hip contact, uchi mata does not
