Key idea

Sit close and guide over the corner

For right , places the left foot between feet and draws Uke forward. The right instep connects inside Uke’s left thigh. Tori sits close to the left heel and rolls backward as the hands and lifting foot guide Uke over the corner. Mirror the sides for a left example. Guide a rolling path without driving Uke’s head into the mat. This rear sacrifice belongs to .
