De-ashi-harai into Mune-gatame
The first throw-into-hold most juniors learn. A foot sweep lands your partner on their side beside you, which is a step from the chest hold if you keep the sleeve and follow them down.

Step by step
The whole sequence in words. Described in the standard right-handed form.
- Take your right grips and sweep their advancing left foot with the sole of your right foot.
- Keep hold of their right sleeve as they fall so their head does not hit the mat.
- Follow them down at once, dropping to your knees beside their right side.
- Slide your right arm under their far armpit and bring your chest across their chest.
- Spread your legs wide, one forward and one back, and put your weight through your chest onto them.
- Hold with your chest, not your arms, and keep your head up. Release the moment they tap.
