    Step by step

    These steps describe the whole sequence in the standard right-handed form.

    1. Take your right grips and turn them over your extended right leg with Tai-otoshi.
    2. Keep hold of their sleeve so the landing is controlled and they end on their back.
    3. Drop to your knees beside their right side, chest first, before they can turn in.
    4. Pass your right arm between their legs and grip their belt, and your left arm under their neck.
    5. Bring your chest down across their chest and spread your knees wide for base.
    6. Hold with chest pressure, head up, and release the moment they tap.

    Receiving it

    The body drop turns you over their extended leg and lands you on your side facing away from them, which is the worst position to be caught in on the ground. Take the fall first: chin tucked, slap with your free arm. Then turn towards them at once and get an elbow and a knee in, because once their chest is across you with a hand on your belt, the side four quarters hold has nothing loose in it.

    VI judo notes

    Keep the sleeve through the landing and the transition is a step rather than a search: the held arm tells you which way their body is lying. Go down chest first, across them, before they can turn in to you. On the ground your information is continuous, so the throw is only really finished when your chest has arrived.
