Uchi-mata-sukashiNage-Waza: Uchi-Mata & Sutemi-WazaUchi-mata-sukashi

Key idea

Avoid the leg and guide the rotation

Here Uke attacks with right Uchi-mata and Tori performs the counter. Tori withdraws the threatened left leg and moves the hips clear, retains the grips as Uke’s leg misses, then guides Uke’s continuing rotation forward with the hands. The opposite side mirrors this example. Uchi-mata-sukashi is Te-waza: do not reap the attacker’s supporting leg from inside while behind them.
