Tori breaks uke’s balance to his right front corner, puts the sole of his left foot on the front of uke’s right kneecap, supporting it, and throws him forward in a circle.

Both sides grapple in right natural posture. Tori steps back with the left foot, then the right foot, while pulling uke backwards. Uke is pulled and steps forward with his left foot, then his right foot.

In time with uke stepping his left foot forward, tori steps his right foot back in front of uke’s left foot (positioning his toes inside). He lifts and pulls with the right hand and pulls up with the left hand, lifting uke to his right front corner, so that uke steps forward with his right foot, and begins to maintain a stable posture.

At the moment uke begins to step forward with his right foot, tori acts by supporting his weight on the right leg, and, extending his left leg, puts the sole of his left foot on the front of uke’s right kneecap. As he begins to step forward with this leg, he restricts the free movement of uke’s left foot, and firmly lifts uke further to his right front corner using both hands, breaking his balance.

When uke’s balance begins to break considerably, tori opens his body to the left while twisting, pulls uke round, drawing him through an arc, and throws him. At the moment uke begins to rotate in a circle, the left pulling hand pulls in a downwards direction. Along with uke’s rotation, tori turns in the direction towards which uke’s balance breaks.

Uke’s upper body is pulled over his right knee, and he rotates in a twisting motion as he is thrown down.
