Fantastic uchi-mata, so unexpected grips for it and what an effect, the opponent litterally flies…a masterpiece…

Ignoring the aberrant english you shamelessly found courage to write (you could at least have checked some word spelling by reading other comments on this site…)…I do confirm it’s an extraordinary ippon.

First of all because it’s the hand taken, as you pointed out, not the wrist, so it means that both are gripping, otherwise the hands would separate (gripping at the wrist is prohibited if prolonged or used for throwing, because it prevents the opponent from gripping, but mutually gripping hands for brief instants is part of bare handed fighting, and allowed in judo).
Second of all this grip is instantly followed by throw, so trying to apply the rules negating the ippon would be a nonsense and a terrible loss for every judoka, just like me…
Check the WC final of -86Kg in 1997, Ki-Young Jeon throws for ippon holding the very short sleeve of Marko Spittka’s gi. Should that be considered an invalid throw, too?…

Let’s not belittle people’s points of view. Everyone’s got the right to express their own opinion, even if it’s not in perfect English.

Brushing aside people’s comments is not a judo-like attitude. You are not only a judoka on the mat. Judo is a way of life.

Bottom line : nice Uchi-Mata by Ki-Chun Wang, nice ippon.

Sorry for the improper English ;)

Peace
