Mizu-guruma (Water Wheel) Tori and Uke meet in the centre of the mat as in Ryoku-hi. Uke tries to grip Tori´s belt from above as in Ryoku-hi. Tori begins to pull Uke´s arm as in Ryoku-hi. Uke resists by pulling backwards. Tori changes direction. He lifts Uke´s right arm and presses it against Uke´s forehead. Tori moves in close to Uke. He presses his head against the inner side of Uke´s right upper arm. Tori pushes Uke backwards like in Yume no uchi. Uke defends by stepping back like in Yume no uchi. Tori changes direction once again. He moves his hands to ??? and throws Uke forward with Yoko-wakare, Ma-sutemi-waza. Uke rolls over Tori and stands up. He does not bend his knees. After the throw, Tori spreads his arms and legs.
