    5. Straighten your legs and turn your shoulders to the left, loading them onto your back.

    Receiving it

    Posting your leg and driving your weight down stops the body drop, and it pulls your chest forward over their shoulder line, which is the shoulder throw's opening. Their foot comes back underneath them and their hips go deeper than before. Once you are loaded on their back, go with it: chin tucked, stay long instead of reaching for the mat, and slap with your free left arm as your back lands.

    VI judo notes

    Their defence arrives as downward weight in both of your hands, and it is the cue to step the blocking foot back in rather than to fight for the block. Bring your hips deeper between theirs by feel, hip against hip, before you straighten your legs. The sleeve stays pulling down and across throughout, which is what keeps their chest on your back.
