Step by step
The whole movement in words, so no part of it depends on watching a video. Described in the standard right-handed form.
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.
- From a right-handed grip, pull your partner's balance forward and to their right front corner, so their weight loads onto their right foot.
- Step your left foot back and across behind you, turning your body side-on to them; you do not make back contact in this throw.
- Extend your right leg across the front of their right shin, your foot planted just outside their ankle, knee bent, toes gripping the mat. The leg is a bar; it carries none of their weight.
- Pull the sleeve hard past your left hip and drive the lapel hand across their chest, rotating your whole trunk to the left.
- Their body rotates over the barred shin and they land on their back in front of you and to your left. Release the rotation only when the sleeve has guided them down.
Receiving it
You are turned and drawn forward, and a straight leg appears as a bar across your shin while both hands wheel your shoulders on: your legs stop and your body does not. The fall is a clean forward rotation. Keep your chin tucked and swing your left arm ready; you land on your back past their leg, sleeve still held, left arm slapping.
About this technique
A hand throw: tori turns in, extends a leg across uke's shin, and drives uke over it with a strong rotation of the arms and trunk.
Key points
- Your extended leg blocks the shin, carrying no weight
- Throw with the hands and hips: it is not a leg lift
- Bend the blocking knee, toes gripping the mat
