Dojo without a pause in each movement although each description is divided
into Movement 1, Movement 2 and Movement 3 for the convenience of
explanation.

They take care of Judogi no to be disarrayed badly during their performanceand adjust it after completing each set of three techniques while returning totheir initial positions.

Tori and Uke keep in mind to harmonize when they turn around their bodies
to face each other without facing their backs of bodies toward Shomen .

- 3 -Beginning formalities
At the beginning, Tori and Uke stand upright facing each other in a distanceof about 5.5m (about 3 ken ), while Tori stands on the left side and Uke on
the right side toward Shomen (Photo 1). Both turn to face Shomen to makestanding bows toward Shomen simultaneously (Photo 2) and turn to faceeach other to make seated bows (Photos 3, 4, 5- ①② , 6- ①② ).
Then, after rising together, both Tori and Uke simultaneously take one step
forward from their left feet to take Shizen-hontai (Photo 7) and further move
forward quietly to begin Te-waza .

Tori and Uke step forward each other to a distance of about 90cm (about 3
shaku )(Photo 1).
Movement 1: While stepping forward with his right foot, Uke attempts tograsp Tori in Migi-jigo-tai . Tori seizes this opportunity and grasps Uke in
Migi-jigo-tai while stepping forward with his right foot (Photo 2). Tori takes
one wide stride backward with his right foot while lifting Uke slightly upwardwith his right hand. Responding to Tori , Uke moves his left foot forward(Photo 3).
Movement 2: Responding to Uke ’s trial to recover the balance, Tori attempts
to lift Uke slightly upward using both of his hands effectively. Responding toTori , Uke moves his right foot diagonally forward to his right so as to try toprotect his stability (Photo 4).
Movement 3: During this sequence, Tori stretches his left leg slightly while
breaking Uke ’s balance to the right front corner using both of his hands
effectively (Photo 5) and throws Uke toward his left shoulder by moving hisleft leg diagonally to his left behind him and throwing his own body onto theleft side (Photos 6- ①② , 7, 8, 9, 10).

Tori rises to stand on the right side toward Shomen and Uke stand on the left
side toward shomen facing Tori in the proper distance. Then, both Tori andUke grasp in Hidari-jigo-tai to perform right “Uki-waza ” in the same manner
as before.

Ending formalities

step backward to stand upright [in a distance of about 5.5m (about 3 ken )](Photo 3), then make seated bows (Photos 4, 5), rise together, turn to face
Shomen to make standing bows simultaneously (Photo 6) and finish Nage-noKata to leave the area.
