How to do it
Start from
Lands you in
- Grip sleeve and lapel (or wrist and an underhook in no-gi) and get them stepping or pushing forward
- Turn in and drop onto your knees under them, back against their chest
- Pull the sleeve forward and down while your back lifts them over your shoulder
- Throw them over and keep the sleeve as you come up into a pin
How it connects
Get it right
Key details
- Drop between their feet, close to them
- Turn your whole body: arms and hips work together
Common mistake
Dropping too far in front of them, so they sprawl on your back.
If they defend it
They pull back or sprawl: come up and switch to ouchi gari or a single leg.
