Taki-otoshi (Waterfall Drop) Same beginning as in Yûdachi. Uke tries to throw Tori with a right Tsuri-goshi with his right arm over Tori´s arm/shoulder (sometimes called Ô-tsuri-goshi). When Uke attempts his hip throw, Tori makes a Tai-sabaki and turns to the left. Uke follows. The rest is like in Yume no uchi. Tori pushes Uke backwards to the left. Uke resists by stepping back with his left foot. Tori changes direction. Tori must make sure to lift Uke onto his toes. He takes several small steps backwards and drops to the mat on his back. Tori throws Uke with Yoko-wakare / Ma-sutemi-waza.
