Learn harai-goshi from Team Radical MMA head coach Rene Dreifuss in this Howcast MMA video.

Guys, we're going to talk about another devastating MMA throw. Really, really effective. Alright, Harai Goshi. Alright? Harai Goshi. Now, again we're in the clinch here. I'm going to do that same footwork that we did before. Here, this footwork. But, I'm going to add a step. One, pivot, two. I'm going to come out here. One, pivot, kick up.

Okay? Bam, bam, boom. Okay? When you do this throw, it's very important you don't push him back. It's about bringing him forward this way. In Japanese this is called kazushi or a bounce breaking. I need him to go this way. So, when I start out here I'm going to come and hitch in this way, hitch in this way, hitch in this way, boom. Then you throw him right there. Okay? One more time. Hitch in, hitch in forward, okay last time you can step back this way as well. Boom, this way, or this way. Okay, now I kick my leg up, ballerina toes, kick, right down. Boom, boom. You okay, Chad? That's how you do Harai Goshi.

you actually need to push in first so when and if he reacts by regaining
his balance forward you close the gap and finish, that’s a judo technique

+9878ification There is shown only throw, but it's possible to prepare opponent with punches (during or before the move) and it will be much more easier to throw him. Of course, against better wrestler is preferable to use striking, but sometimes, if it is good moment…

i mainly do gi, but i don't really flip people in mma, especially if they are faster, stronger, and a better wrestler than me. However if your opponent know his stuff, than your definitely not getting the throw. (judo black belt) especially

I'ts judo principle, yes, but it may be done without that. Depends on situation and opponent.

Harai Goshi is a Judo Throw. Who would call it an “mma throw”?
