Sleeve Control and Defensive Positioning

The attacker establishes control of the opponent's right sleeve while the defender maintains a defensive posture with the left arm withdrawn, exposing the right side of the body. This positioning creates the opening necessary for the throwing technique that follows.

Entry and Neck Pressure Setup

The attacker executes a rapid backstep before driving the leg through and pulling the opponent's elbow into their stomach while applying pressure against the neck. This creates the mechanical advantage needed for the throw.

Ko Soto Toshi Throw Execution

Using a downward shoving motion similar to ko soto toshi, the attacker maintains a tight elbow position against the stomach while continuing neck pressure. The sweep action completes the throw, driving the opponent to the mat.

High Grip Exchange and Shoulder Control

Both competitors establish simultaneous high grips during their grip-fighting exchange. The attacker threads the head through to snag the opponent's shoulder while securing the opposite arm against the body.

Leg Hook and Corkscrew Finish

The attacker drives forward with the leg, hooks behind the opponent's thigh, and maintains shoulder pressure throughout the motion. A sharp upward kick combined with a corkscrew twisting action completes the throw.

High Arm Interception Variation

When the opponent extends high attempting their own throw, the attacker capitalizes by securing the arm at the elbow and hooking the neck. Driving forward with continuous motion and a powerful corkscrew finish executes the technique.

Back Control Grip and Kazushi Application

The attacker secures a grip at the back under the armpit and applies a twisting motion to break the opponent's balance. A leg hook combined with a back-leg drive completes the uchi mata throw.

Blocking Defense and Edge Avoidance

When the opponent attempts to block the throw and steps toward the mat's edge to create space, the attacker maintains the leg hook and shoulder pressure. Continuous forward driving force into the opponent ensures the completion of the throw.

Sleeve Push and Deep Entry

The attacker secures the opponent's sleeve and forces it downward before stepping deeply into position. The arm is then lifted sharply while executing a twist combined with a leg hook.

Elbow Control and Final Drive

Throughout the final phase, the attacker maintains pressure on the opponent's arm while pulling the elbow inward and driving with the right hand. This sustained control generates the force necessary to complete the throw and drive the opponent into the mat.
