Technique Description

The tori wraps one arm across the chest of the uke and hooks his leg with tori's own leg to slam uke to the mat back-first. This technique is similar to Osoto Gari with the one difference being the uke's leg in this case does not leave the ground, i.e. the tori hooks the uke's leg, not sweep it.

Technique History

Olympic judo silver-medalist Naoya Ogawa introduced this move to professional wrestling, where it can also be a lariat-legsweep combination to slam down opponent.
