Step by step

The whole sequence in words. Described in the standard right-handed form.

  1. Hold them in Tate-shiho-gatame, astride their waist with your knees tight to their sides.
  2. Feel them straighten one arm to push at your chest or hip.
  3. Trap that arm against your chest with both hands so their thumb points upwards.
  4. Post your weight forward, swing your far leg over their head and sit down close beside their shoulder.
  5. Lie back with their arm still clamped to your chest, your knees squeezed together on either side of it.
  6. Raise your hips slowly against their elbow and stop the instant they tap. Never apply it with a snap.
