Uki-waza
Uki-waza is a floating side sacrifice throw. Tori breaks Uke's balance toward a front corner, extends a leg outside Uke's foot, and falls to the side while rotating Uke over the open line.
Movement sequence
- Draw Uke diagonally forward until the balance passes the front corner.
- Extend your near leg along the mat outside Uke's foot while keeping it clear of the knee.
- Fall to your side and continue the circular hand action so Uke floats over the extended line.
- Maintain the controlling grip, guide Uke to a safe landing, and practise the action under qualified supervision.
