Sasae-Tsurikomi-Ashi
Description

A foot technique throw. As you break your opponent’s balance to his right front corner, block his supporting right leg by placing the sole of your foot just above his ankle, creating a pivot point, then lean back and twist to the left throw him over it.

Instructions

The Sasae Tsurikomi Ashi is essentially a Hiza Guruma, except you're tripping your partner at the ankle instead of the knee.


  • Pivot on one leg to force your partner to take a step to the side.

  • Use the centrifugal force of the pivot to pull your partner with your arms.

  • As your partner is about to take a step, use your free leg to trip them at the ankle.
