Glossary of Judo waza (techniques) terms

Uchi-makikomi (Inner wraparound throw)

Summary

This Yoko sutemi waza (Side sacrifice techniques) closely resembles the Ippon-seoi-nage (One-armed shoulder throw).

Features of this Waza

Like the Ippon-seoi-nage (One-armed shoulder throw), the Uchi-makikomi (Inner wraparound throw) also consists of pulling an opponent's arm over your shoulder and sacrificing your posture to throw him in a rotational motion.

Waza details

Tori (Player executing technique) feigns an attack, and then executes this Waza when Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) steps forward in retaliation.
Tori (Player executing technique) steps forward with his Tsurite (Lifting hand) side leg while firmly pulling with his Hiki-te (Pulling hand) in order to destabilize Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack).
Tori (Player executing technique) pulls Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) arm with his Hiki-te (Pulling hand) and spins around on the sole of his advanced foot to bring Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) onto his back. Tori (Player executing technique) also uses his Tsurite (Lifting hand) at this time to firmly grasp Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) arm. Pushing his hips deep, he throws Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) in a single sudden motion as if swinging a hoe downward from his shoulder. Tori (Player executing technique) body sinks in the forward direction as the throw proceeds in order to obtain a rotational throwing motion in which Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) seems to rotate around the periphery of Tori (Player executing technique) neck.
Judo rules call for "Shido" (Instruction / Light penalty) for holding the same side of an opponent's collar or sleeve for 6 seconds or longer. Because this Uchi-makikomi (Inner wraparound throw) Waza also entails grasping the opponent's sleeve on only one side as the Waza begins, the combatant must use care to avoid grasping the sleeve for 6 seconds or longer.
