Key idea

Wind from the outside

For right , brings right arm close beneath Tori’s right armpit while turning in. Tori places the right leg outside Uke’s right leg and keeps the upper bodies connected through the winding turn and controlled side sacrifice. The left example mirrors this. Preserve Uke’s falling space, avoid landing heavily across the chest or shoulder, and do not dive head-first.
