Warning

Judo techniques are potentially dangerous and should only be practiced with proper safety precautions and instruction.  The information on this site should only be used under supervision of a qualified judo instructor.

Step 1:
Grasp your opponent high on the chest with your right hand (reverse grasping sides if you are left handed) while getting a firm hold on his/her elbow with your left hand.

Step 2:
Push back sharply with your right hand while simultaneously pulling down on your opponent's arm with your left. This action should begin to break your opponent's posture.

Step 3:
Step in quickly between your opponent's feet with your left foot. Make sure this foot is planted firmly in place as it will function as your foundation in the next part of the technique.  Keep your weight on the balls of your feet at all times during this technique. Approaching the throw flat footed could put you in a position vulnerable to counterattack.

Step 4:
Hook your right leg from inside around your opponent's right leg. Tthe back of your calf or bottom of your foot should be at the back of your opponent's lower leg.

Step 5:
Sweep your right leg straight back as you continue to exert upper body force. This is the reaping portion of the judo throw.

Step 6:
Follow through in order to establish a superior mat positioning.
