Tori breaks uke’s balance straight forward or to the right (left) front corner while sweeping up the front of uke’s right (left) ankle with the sole of his left (right) foot.

Both sides grapple in right natural posture. Tori steps back with the right foot, then the left foot, and assumes a right defensive posture while pressing uke’s upper body down slightly with both hands, and comes to a halt. Uke is pulled and steps forward with his left foot, then his right foot, and, responding in right natural posture, begins to return to a stable posture. At this moment, tori lessens the pulling action of both hands and pushes slightly. Uke straightens up and begins to step back with his right foot. At the moment uke’s right foot passes behind his own left foot and he begins to transfer his weight, tori changes the direction of his left hand and pulls diagonally upwards, combining this with a lifting-up action with the right hand to lift uke straight forward. Uke assumes an unstable left posture with the right foot stepped back, and he stands rigid and straight, as his body weight falls over the tips of both feet and his balance breaks forward.

At this moment, tori lowers his waist and right foot energetically, creating momentum, steps in front of uke’s left foot, and supports his body weight. He swings the sole of his left foot onto the front of uke’s right ankle, and sweeps the bottom end of uke’s right leg up sharply. Combined with the sweeping-up action of the left leg, he pulls up further with the right hand, and changes the action of his left hand from pulling up to pulling straight down. He turns his wrist and pulls it down to the front of his own left hip to throw uke. Uke is swept up from the front (with his legs scooped up), flies up in the air in front of tori, and rotates before falling.
