Turnovers · turning a defending partner
Turnover into Kata-te-jime
Against a turtled partner: one hand feeds deep across the neck to take the far lapel, and the turnover and the single-hand strangle arrive together, so defending one exposes the other. Strangles are senior material and always released on the tap.

Key points
- Feed the lapel hand deep before you start the roll
- The turnover and the strangle are one movement, not two
- Apply gradually: the tap comes fast from a turtled partner
Step by step
Left-handed: these steps are written right-handed, as the syllabuses write them. Read every left as a right and every right as a left, and the throw is yours.
- Your partner is on hands and knees, defending, and you are at their right side.
- Reach your right hand over their neck and feed it under their throat to grip their far lapel, thumb inside.
- Take their near arm or belt with your left hand and drag them towards you, rolling them over their right shoulder.
- As they land on their side or back, your gripping forearm is already across the throat: Kata-te-jime is on.
- Squeeze gradually by drawing the lapel and pressing the forearm; release completely the instant they tap.
From the other side
A hand snakes under your throat while you are turtled, and the roll that follows lands you with a forearm already across your neck. Defend the lapel hand before the roll starts by tucking your chin and gripping their sleeve; once the strangle closes, tap at once rather than testing it.
