    Uki-goshi into Kuzure-kesa-gatame

    1. Uki-goshi浮腰
    2. Kuzure-kesa-gatame崩袈裟固

    The floating hip turns your partner around your hip rather than over it, so they land close beside you and slightly on their side: the broken scarf hold takes that position as it is.

    Step by step

    The whole sequence in words. Described in the standard right-handed form.

    1. Take the standard grip, slide your right arm around their waist and turn them around your hip with Uki-goshi.
    2. Keep their right sleeve as they land beside you.
    3. Drop your hips to the mat at their right side, facing their head.
    4. Pass your right arm under their right armpit rather than around the neck, and grip the mat or their far shoulder.
    5. Trap their right arm under your left armpit and spread your legs wide, one forward, one back.
    6. Settle your chest across theirs, keep your head up, and release the moment they tap.
