Yudachi (Shower) Uke and Tori meet in the centre of the mat. Tori grips Uke´s both lapels with his right hand. His index finger is between the lapels. Tori must grip high up, because most of Uke´s trunk is covered with armour. First with two hands, then with right hand only. Tori then secures the grip by pulling his right elbow downwards. Uke tries to throw Tori with a hip throw: He pushes Tori´s right arm forward. He moves his left foot forward. He reaches with his right arm around Tori´s back and begins to move his right foot into position for a right hip throw. Tori steps back, like in Uki-otoshi. Uke falls to the side. He does not bend his knees as he falls.
