Ura-nage (Rear Throw)

Tori and Uke step forward each other to a distance of about 1.8m (Photo 1).

Movement 1: Uke raises his right fist overhead while taking one step forward with his left foot (Photo 2), then takes again one step forward with his right foot and attempts to strike Tori ’s Tento with his right fist (Uzumaki) from right front of Tori (Photos 3, 4).

Movement 2: Tori seizes this opportunity, steps forward with his left foot deeply behind Uke ’s right foot to pass under Uke ’s hand (Photo 5) and lowers his hips while Uke ’s right fist strikes the air over his left shoulder. While putting his left hand from the back side of Uke ’s hips (along the back side of Uke ’s belt) and pulling to hold Uke ’s hips firmly to his body, Tori moves his right foot in one quick motion toward inner side of Uke ’s right foot and puts his right palm (fingertips upward) on Uke ’s abdomen (Photos 6-①②③ ). Tori throws Uke over his left shoulder by leaning back to lift Uke’s body using both of his hands and hips effectively and throwing his own body backward (Photos 7, 8, 9).

Tori rises to stand on the right side toward Shomen.  Uke rises to stand on the left side toward Shomen facing Tori and attempts to strike Tori with his left fist in the same manner as before when he steps forward and comes in the proper distance.
