    Step by step

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

    1. Feel their leg arrive against the inside of your left leg as they attack with O-uchi-gari.
    2. Slip the attacked leg back and away, keeping both grips and letting their drive carry on past you.
    3. Feel their chest come forward and square as the reap finds nothing to take.
    4. Pull their right sleeve down and across with your left hand and spin in on the ball of your left foot, hips dropping below theirs.
    5. Straighten your legs and turn your shoulders sharply to your left, loading them across your back.
    6. They come over your shoulder and land on their back; keep the sleeve to support the fall.

    Receiving it

    You are the attacker. A reap that finds nothing leaves you square-on and leaning into your partner, which is the shoulder throw's favourite position, and they will turn under your gripping arm before your leg is back down. Once you are loaded on their back there is nothing to fight with. Keep your chin tucked, stay long rather than reaching for the mat, and slap with your free left arm as your back lands.

    VI judo notes

    Slipping the leg keeps you in contact everywhere else, which is what makes the counter available: their weight coming square into your hands is the cue to spin. Do not step away first. Turn on the ball of your foot from where you stand and let your hips find theirs by feel, sleeve pulling down and across throughout.
