Technique description
Tori holds Uke’s waist from behind with the left (right) hand, lifts his body forwards and up, then throws him straight down.
Tori and Uke grapple in right natural posture. Uke steps back with his right foot, then left foot and right foot, pulling Tori out. Tori steps forward with the left foot, then right foot and left foot, and then begins to step his right foot forward. At that moment, Uke seizes the opportunity and begins to execute hane-goshi.
Tori responds by lowering his waist and steps his left foot inside the rear of Uke’s feet, while assuming a defensive posture, and thrusts the front of his left hip against the back of Uke’s right hip for defense. At the same time, he puts his left arm along the back of Uke’s belt up to the side of his left hip and holds his waist deep. He pulls towards the right side of his own chest with the right hand, bringing Uke’s upper body tight against his, holds, and breaks Uke’s balance towards his rear.
Tori straightens both knees and, bending backward, thrusts the front of his waist forward, sharply creating some momentum, and lifts Uke’s body up and forward so that both of Uke’s legs swing up through the air. At that moment, Tori moves his right foot, then left foot back while opening his body to the left, and pulls down with both hands to throw Uke straight down in front.
