Harai-makikomi (Hip sweep wraparound throw)

Summary

This sacrifice Waza is a derivative of the Harai-goshi (Hip sweep) Waza.

Features of this Waza

The Harai-makikomi (Hip sweep wraparound throw) begins as an Harai-goshi (Hip sweep), and then changes to this Yoko sutemi waza (Side sacrifice techniques).

Waza details

From the natural posture, Tori (Player executing technique) turns his body halfway around, and, while using both his Tsurite (Lifting hand) and Hiki-te (Pulling hand) to destabilize Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) in the forward direction, Tori (Player executing technique) plants his supporting leg at Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) feet in order bring Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) up onto his hip.
In the Harai-goshi (Hip sweep) Waza, Tori (Player executing technique) would then bring Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) onto his front hip and twist at the waist in order to flip Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) legs and hips off the floor in a single sudden motion. If Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) is not sufficiently flipped up, however, Tori (Player executing technique) proceeds to this Harai-makikomi (Hip sweep wraparound throw) which consists of a "destabilize -> sweep -> wraparound" tandem action.
Tori (Player executing technique) sweeps the forward-destabilized Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) below the knees, then releases his Tsurite (Lifting hand) and traps Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) Tsurite (Lifting hand) in the crook of his arm, thus wrapping Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) around his own body and falling with Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack). Because Tori (Player executing technique) must use his own body weight to put pressure on Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) in order to topple him, this Waza favors large-statured combatants.
Moreover, because strong combatants have the muscular strength to resist this Waza if Tori (Player executing technique) relies on power alone, this Waza should be used more as a second option to an inadequate Harai-goshi (Hip sweep), rather than as an attack Waza in its own right.
