    Seoi-nage into Seoi-otoshi

    1. Seoi-nage背負投 · せおいなげ
    2. Seoi-otoshi背負落 · せおいおとし

    Same entry, different finish. When the lift will not come because their hips are low or they are heavier than you, dropping to the knee turns the throw into one that needs no lift at all.

    Step by step

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

    1. Take your right grips and spin in for Seoi-nage, both hands controlling their right side.
    2. Feel the lift fail: your hips cannot get below theirs and their weight stays back.
    3. Drop your right knee to the mat and extend your right leg across the front of their legs.
    4. Keep their arm tight to your shoulder and pull the sleeve down towards the mat.
    5. Turn your shoulders sharply to the left so they travel over your extended leg.
    6. They land on their back in front of you; keep the sleeve to support the fall.

    Receiving it

    Keeping your hips low and your weight back stops the lift, and it does not stop the throw: they drop to a knee, a leg goes across the front of yours, and you are pulled over it instead of over their back. The fall is lower and quicker than the one you were defending. Turn with the pull rather than bracing, chin on your chest, and slap with your free left arm as your back lands.

    VI judo notes

    Your own legs give you the cue: if they will not straighten under their weight, stop asking for the lift and drop. Nothing changes above the waist, so the grips and the turn stay exactly as they were and the change costs you no information. Keep their arm clamped to your shoulder as you go down so their body stays where you expect it.
