Kuchiki-taoshi
Kuchiki-taoshi is a one-hand drop. Tori lifts one of Uke's legs with a hand from the inside or outside and uses upper-body control to push Uke backward over the remaining support. Direct leg attacks are restricted under current IJF contest rules.
Movement sequence
- Control Uke's upper body and secure one leg without reaching with the head exposed.
- Lift the captured leg while stepping close enough to keep Uke's hips contained.
- Direct Uke backward over the standing leg and guide the landing under current rules and supervision.
- Maintain the controlling grip, guide Uke to a safe landing, and practise the action under qualified supervision.
