Harai-goshi countered by Ushiro-goshi

  1. Harai-goshi払腰
  2. Ushiro-goshi後腰

The classical answer to the sweeping hip throw: as the attack turns in, the defender sinks their hips below it, wraps the waist, and lifts the whole attack off the floor. Timing is everything; a beat late and the sweep has already bitten.
