Soto-makikomi (Outer wraparound throw)
Summary
This is a Yoko sutemi waza (Side sacrifice techniques) involving a waist and back wraparound maneuver.
Features of this Waza
The Soto-makikomi (Outer wraparound throw) Waza consists of the attacker wrapping his opponent around his own body between the waist and back, and then throwing him down.
Waza details
Tori (Player executing technique) grasps the outer side of Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) sleeve near the upper arm with his Hiki-te (Pulling hand), and grasps the back of Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) collar with his Tsurite (Lifting hand).
Tori (Player executing technique) then steps forward with his Tsurite (Lifting hand) side leg, placing it between Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) feet, and turns on the sole of his foot, placing his Hiki-te (Pulling hand) side foot against Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) heel.
Tori (Player executing technique) then shifts his Center of gravity to his Hiki-te (Pulling hand) side leg, making that his support leg, and extends the Tsurite (Lifting hand) side leg around and against (snugly) the outer side of Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) body. After grasping Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) upper body, Tori (Player executing technique) twists to wrap an arm around Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) from his waist to back, and then throws Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) while sacrificing his own posture.
To grasp Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) upper body, Tori (Player executing technique) pulls Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) toward him with his Hiki-te (Pulling hand), then releases his Tsurite (Lifting hand) and wraps it around Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) (from over his head) thus pinning his arms to his sides.
Waza usage tip
- Because the Hiki-te (Pulling hand) force is used when wrapping the opponent around his own body, the opponent's sleeve should be grasped as far back (outer side) as possible, followed by pulling it firmly.
- When performing the wraparound, the waist must be deep enough to be crossways to Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) waist.
