Summary
This is a Koshi waza (Hip techniques) in which the opponent is lifted and thrown.
Features of this Waza
The Tsurikomi-goshi (Lift-pull hip throw) depends on effectively using the Tsurite (Lifting hand) to rotate and throw the opponent over your hip.
Waza details
Tori (Player executing technique) grasps Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) collar his Tsurite (Lifting hand) near Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) shoulder. Using both his Tsurite (Lifting hand) and Hiki-te (Pulling hand), Tori (Player executing technique) twists his wrists to pull Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) in order to destabilize his balance in the forward direction.
As Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) steps forward to recover his balance, Tori (Player executing technique) steps toward Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) in the same manner as in the Seoi-nage (Shoulder throw), spins his body around, and pulls Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) against his back. Tori (Player executing technique) also lowers his hips at this time to further destabilize Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) balance in the forward and downward direction.
In the Seoi-nage (Shoulder throw), Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) is pulled against the hips and the entire back, but in this Waza, pushing the hips in too far increases Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) ability to resist. Therefore the hip push is shallower in this Waza, and the throwing rotation is fast.
The hip push lifts Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) upward and destabilizes his balance in the forward direction, but the Tsurite (Lifting hand) grasp can be either at the back of Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) collar as shown above, or the arm can be wrapped around Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) from beneath his armpit.
Waza usage tip
- To execute the throw, Tori (Player executing technique) lowers his hips, then uses the spring force of both knees and his Hiki-te (Pulling hand) to lift and throw Uke (Player receiving opponent’s attack) in the forward direction, by rotating him over the hip being used as the fulcrum.
