Tomoe-nage

Tori lifts uke forward or to the right front corner and breaks his balance. Then, while dropping down onto his back, he puts the sole of his right foot on uke’s lower abdomen, pushes him up from below, and throws him over his head.

Both sides grapple in right natural posture. Tori moves forward with his right foot, then his left foot, and then his right foot again while pushing uke backward and begins to break his balance. Uke responds by stepping back with his left foot, then his right foot, and then his left foot again. Uke holds his ground, pushes back, and begins to return to a stable posture.

At this moment, tori lessens the pushing action of both hands and pulls, prompting uke to step forward with his left foot. Responding to uke’s movement, tori lowers his waist slightly while stepping his left foot inside both of uke’s feet, and at the moment he does that, he quickly supports his body weight on the left foot, bends his left leg completely, thereby lowering his body. Curving the sole of his right foot, he places it on uke’s lower abdomen. He lowers the back of his waist near his left heel, and in time with uke’s body leaning forward over him, he drops onto his back, straightens the right knee, and pushes uke up. At the same time, he pulls uke round in a circle with both hands, so that uke is thrown over his head.

Uke is thrown forward in a large rotating motion to land on his back.
