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.
- Your partner lies on their back; sit beside their right shoulder facing towards their feet, your right hip against their shoulder.
- Trap their right arm under your right armpit and pin it against your side, gripping cloth at their sleeve or shoulder.
- Lay your left forearm across their body or grip their belt, and lower your chest onto their chest from this reversed angle.
- Spread your legs wide along the mat, one forward and one back, soles ready to post.
- Hold with heaviness through the chest; when they bridge towards you, sink your hip, and when they turn away, follow around with your legs.
Receiving it
The weight arrives facing the wrong way: their hip is at your shoulder and their legs are up past your head, which makes the usual bridge-and-turn feel unfamiliar. Work your trapped arm and turn towards the gap under their chest; keep your breathing low, and tap clearly if you are held and need to stop.
About this technique
The scarf hold facing the other way: tori sits at uke's right shoulder facing their feet, uke's arm trapped, weight through the chest. A natural landing after some turnovers and armlock entries.
Key points
- Face their feet, hip tight against their shoulder
- Trap their right arm under your right armpit
