Uchi-mata-makikomi
Uchi-mata-makikomi is an inner-thigh wraparound throw. Tori begins uchi-mata, traps Uke's near arm, and continues the inner-thigh lift and body rotation into a controlled side-falling wrap.
Movement sequence
- Enter for uchi-mata with Uke drawn strongly toward the front corner.
- Secure Uke's near arm beneath your armpit while the sweeping thigh lifts from inside.
- Carry the rotation into a side fall, keeping close contact and protecting Uke's ribs and shoulder.
- Maintain the controlling grip, guide Uke to a safe landing, and practise the action under qualified supervision.
