O-soto-otoshi

Tori breaks uke’s balance to the right rear corner, or straight backward. Uke’s weight falls towards his right leg. Tori pushes his right leg down the back of uke’s right thigh in a sliding motion, so that he falls backward.

Both sides grapple in right natural posture. Tori steps back in the tsugi-ashi form with his left foot, then his right foot, while pulling uke forward and trying to break his balance. At this moment, tori moves his right foot to the tip of uke’s right foot and takes a right posture. Uke resists being pulled, steps forward in the tsugi-ashi form with his right foot, then his left foot, and, responding in right defensive posture, begins to return to a stable posture.

At this moment, tori supports his body weight with his right leg and steps his left foot to the side of uke’s right foot with his waist lowered. He lifts and pulls with the right hand, pulls towards his left armpit with the left hand, bringing uke tight against him, and pushes uke backward. Uke’s body weight falls towards his right heel, as his balance breaks.

Supporting his weight on the left foot, tori raises his right leg, bending it outside of uke’s right leg, lifts it in a large motion with the toes pointing downwards, and puts the area from his right heel to his calf below the back of uke’s right hip (right buttock). With his right heel and the lower part of his right leg on the back of uke’s upper thigh, he steps his right foot down onto the mat, sliding it down the back of uke’s leg. At the same time he pushes towards the rear with the right hand, pulls with the left hand, and in one breath leans with his upper body, while pushing uke’s upper body down towards the rear. Uke falls straight onto his back.

In this technique, tori puts his right calf on the back of uke’s right thigh, steps in with his left foot, and, creating momentum, leans over uke with his upper body. This technique has two stages.
