Sasae-tsurikomi-ashi
Sasae-tsurikomi-ashi is a supporting-foot lift-pull throw. Tori draws Uke toward the front corner, places the sole against the front of Uke's loaded ankle as a pivot, and turns Uke over that fixed point with coordinated lifting and pulling.
Movement sequence
- Lead Uke into a step and draw the upper body toward the front corner of the advancing leg.
- Place the sole lightly against the front of the loaded ankle, not the knee, while your support leg stays clear.
- Lift and turn with the lapel hand, pull the sleeve around, and rotate Uke over the blocked ankle.
- Maintain the controlling grip, guide Uke to a safe landing, and practise the action under qualified supervision.
