    Ko-uchi-gari into Yoko-tomoe-nage

    1. Ko-uchi-gari小内刈
    2. Yoko-tomoe-nage横巴投

    Some partners answer the inner reap by driving forward into you. Yoko-tomoe-nage uses that drive: you go down and sideways deliberately, and they travel over the top.

    Step by step

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

    1. Take your right grips and reap their right foot inwards.
    2. Feel them push forward into you to smother the attack.
    3. Keep pulling on both grips and drop your hips low and slightly to your left side, not straight back.
    4. Place the sole of your right foot on the inside of their left hip and sit through underneath them.
    5. Pull with both hands and extend your right leg to send them in a circle over your shoulder.
    6. They land on their back beyond your head; keep the sleeve throughout so the circle stays controlled. Build this one up gradually.
