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, push your partner so they push back into you: the throw uses their forward pressure.
- Step your left foot deep between their feet and sit down close to your own left heel, folding underneath them as they press forward.
- As you sit, place the sole of your right foot against their body at the belt line, low on the abdomen, knee bent between you.
- Roll onto your back, pulling both hands over your head in a smooth arc; your bent leg extends as they pass over you.
- They sail over your head in a full circle and land on their back beyond you. Keep pulling through the whole arc so the rotation is complete, then release cleanly.
Receiving it
Your partner drops away beneath you and a foot arrives at your belt line: their sitting weight pulls you forward and the foot sends you overhead. You fly further than you expect. Stay round, keep your chin tucked, and go with the full circle; you land on your back well beyond them, and a good roll out of it is safer than fighting the arc.
About this technique
The classic sacrifice throw: tori drops beneath uke, places a foot on the abdomen, and throws uke overhead in a full circle.
Key points
- Sit close under uke, foot planted below the belt
- Pull uke over you: the arms steer the circle
- Roll back on your spine, not flat onto your back
