(hip transfer)

Technique description

Tori responds to Uke’s right (left) hip technique by holding the side of that hip and, at that instant, lifting it up, shifting and loading Uke onto the left (right) hip, and throwing him down.

 

Both sides grapple in right natural posture. Uke steps back while pulling Tori forwards, and, seizing the moment, Tori moves, breaks his balance to the right front corner, and begins to throw him with hane-goshi.

 

Tori responds to hane-goshi at that instant by quickly bending back and lowering his waist by bending both knees. He steps his left foot from Uke’s rear to between his feet and opens his body to the right, and thrusts the front of his left hip against the back of Uke’s right hip. At the same time, he takes hold of the back of Uke’s waist with the left arm running along the back of his belt (inserting his hand deep to the front of Uke’s left hip), and pulls the right hand towards the right side of his own chest, bringing the left side of his chest tight against Uke’s right armpit.

 

Tori straightens both knees and, while bending back, thrusts the front of his left hip out creating momentum and, with Uke standing straight and upright, pulls him upwards. At the moment Uke’s body rises into the air, Tori, pivoting on the tip of his left foot, steps his right foot diagonally back and round behind his own left heel and, changing direction, shifts Uke’s body onto his left hip, and twists his body further to the right.

 

Uke is thrown in a large circle around the fulcrum of the back of Tori’s left hip.
