Technique Description

Sode Tsurikomi Goshi, translated as 'Sleeve Lifting Pulling Hip Throw,' is a variation of the hip throw that emphasizes the use of sleeve control to execute the technique. It is particularly effective when the opponent has a strong grip on your lapel or when you are unable to secure a traditional collar grip. To perform Sode Tsurikomi Goshi, establish a firm grip on both of the opponent's sleeves. Lower your hips and step across their body with your lead leg, positioning your hip against theirs. While maintaining strong sleeve control, lift and pull the opponent towards you, using your hip as a fulcrum. Rotate your body and throw them over your hip, using your sleeve grips to control their movement throughout the throw. The name 'lifting pulling hip throw' best describes the mechanics involved in this technique, with both arms needed.
