Description: Uki Otoshi - Judo
With your left hand, grab the right sleeve of your opponent (elbow area) and with your right hand grab the chest area of your opponent. You should bring your opponent into a position where his right leg and your right leg are pretty close together. Practice pushing and pulling your opponent so that your stances stay parallel while you walk.
Step back with your front leg and pull your opponent with you so that he has to step forward with his back leg.
Put your front leg down and initiate another step with the other leg so that your opponent has to follow you.
Shortly before your opponent puts his right foot down, kneel and pull his arm and chest towards your hip. To do this, your left foot still has to move backwards when your opponent wants to put his foot down. Because your opponent will not be able to change direction anymore, he will basically fall over his own leg. Learn how to control your opponent with your hands and your steps. A lot of timing is necessary for this throw.
Pull him with both hands towards your left hip and make sure his chest is very close to your chest when he falls. Keep looking straight forward and try not to turn your upper body.
