Uki-goshi
Uki-goshi is a floating hip throw. Tori breaks Uke's balance forward, places only the side of the hip across Uke, draws Uke close around the waist, and rotates Uke around the hip without a full lift onto the back.
Movement sequence
- Draw Uke forward and wrap the waist with close chest contact.
- Turn only enough to place the side of your hip against Uke's lower abdomen.
- Twist the torso and guide the sleeve so Uke rotates around the hip in a compact arc.
- Maintain the controlling grip, guide Uke to a safe landing, and practise the action under qualified supervision.
