Harai-goshi
Harai-goshi is a sweeping hip throw. Tori breaks Uke's balance forward, loads Uke onto the back of the hip, and sweeps Uke's outer thigh with a long, rising leg action while the upper body continues to rotate.
Movement sequence
- Lift and draw Uke forward so the chest and hips can connect without leaning back.
- Turn across Uke with the support leg stable and the hip placed beneath Uke's center.
- Sweep upward through Uke's thigh with a mostly straight leg as the hands rotate Uke forward and down.
- Maintain the controlling grip, guide Uke to a safe landing, and practise the action under qualified supervision.
