    O-uchi-gari into Seoi-nage

    1. O-uchi-gari大内刈 · おおうちがり
    2. Seoi-nage背負投 · せおいなげ

    The back-then-front pair every club drills. A partner who steps back from the major inner reap pushes forward to recover; turning in under the arms takes them over the shoulder with that push.

    Step by step

    These steps describe the whole sequence in the standard right-handed form.

    1. Reap at their left leg from the inside with O-uchi-gari, hands driving down and back towards their rear corner.
    2. Feel them step the leg back and push forward against your hands to recover their balance.
    3. Go with the push: keep the sleeve moving forwards and let their chest come onto you.
    4. Step your right foot across to their right foot, pivot, and swing your left foot back beside it, knees bent and hips below theirs.
    5. Fold your right elbow under their right armpit as you turn, keeping the sleeve pulling forward over your shoulder.
    6. Straighten your legs, bow sharply forward, and pull both hands down past your left side; they ride over the shoulder and land in front of you.

    Receiving it

    The reap sends you backwards and pushing forward is the honest way out of it, which is the whole trap: your weight arrives on their back at the moment they turn under you. You will feel their hips drop below yours and the pull go from backwards to forwards in one beat. Do not stiffen the arm they have folded, because a locked elbow over a shoulder is how arms get hurt. Follow the throw round, keep your chin down, and slap as your back lands.

    VI judo notes

    Both halves are read through the jacket. The reap tells you where their weight went, and their push back into you is the signal to turn, so this pair rewards keeping a firm grip rather than a light one. Turn in on the push itself instead of waiting to check the distance, and let your hips finding theirs be the confirmation you have arrived.
