Ko-daore (Log Fall)

Tai

Tori and Uke walk towards each other diagonally across the mat. They meet in the centre.

Tori attacks Uke´s Uto, like in Ju no kata. (Tori stretches his right hand with fingers extended towards the point between Uke´s eyes.) Uke grabs Tori´s right wrist with his right hand. He makes a Tai-sabaki and tries to throw Tori with a left hip throw.

Tori pushes Uke backwards to the right with his extended right arm. Tori puts his left palm against Uke´s stomach and pushes Uke to backwards to the right. There must be body contact. Tori breaks Uke´s balance backwards to the right. There is a slight stop before Uke falls.

Uke falls to the right. Tori kneels down on his left knee. After a short pause, he moves his right knee to the side and assumes the Kurai-dori position.
