Grip Foundation: Collar and Sleeve Control
The instructor establishes right-side-versus-right-side positioning with a high collar grip and sleeve control. The collar hand placement should be high on the lapel to prevent the opponent from escaping underneath, while the sleeve hand can grip either the bicep for maximum power control or the wrist for tension and handle management.
Sleeve Hand Variations
Two primary sleeve grip options exist: pinning the opponent's elbow toward their hips to restrict postural control, or gripping the sleeve material and rotating to create wrist tension. Both approaches limit the opponent's ability to counter and establish the instructor's dominance in the engagement.
Right-Side Techniques and Transitions
From the established right-side control position, the instructor can execute backward attacks such as ouchi and osoto, as well as forward-turning techniques like seoi nage. The right leg leads naturally in this stance, making these techniques the primary offensive options.
Right-Side-Versus-Left-Side Configuration
When facing a left-sided opponent, the collar grip can be positioned either outside or inside, with the hand's placement typically determined by whoever initiates contact first. Both configurations are valid, though they create different tactical opportunities for turning and attacking.
Directional Mechanics in Mixed Stances
In right-side-versus-left-side engagement, both practitioners rotate in the same direction, requiring different strategic approaches. Practitioners should emphasize turning attacks and transitions to the opponent's back, with constant directional pressure applied throughout the exchange.
The Dominance of Preferred Side
Athletes naturally possess a dominant throwing side, similar to handedness in other sports. Attempting to develop equal proficiency on both sides is inefficient; instead, practitioners should invest in perfecting their natural orientation for maximum technical strength and competitive advantage.
Right-Side Dominant Strategy
An instructor trained with a right-side lead executes osoto, sasai, and ouchi-gari most effectively when maintaining this stance. Switching stances compromises the quality of the turn and reduces throwing power, making it strategically counterproductive during live competition.
Tactical Positioning Against Opposite Stance
When encountering left-sided opponents, the right-side dominant player should contest the grip position first to secure their preferred collar configuration. This proactive grip fighting establishes positional advantage and enables the execution of high-percentage turning attacks and back attacks.

Backwards techniques: o uchi to o soto Turning techniques: tai otoshi etc... Kenka Yotsu, or RvL Choose inside or outside lapel position and make your partner settle for the one you didn't choose. Fight for dominant sleeve control to turn your partner's shoulders. Bombard attacks in both directions. Use backwards throws and turning throws. Frequently asked question: Can I learn both sides? You can learn to throw both ways, but there will always be a preference to one side. Once you train your body to turn in one direction, you're going to want to turn in that direction.
