About this video

Execute a drop shoulder throw (Seoi Nage) from the sleeve opposite lapel grip by getting both feet between the opponent's feet. Take a small penetration step and turn, pulling the opponent's arm over the other arm.

  1. Start with a grip on the sleeve and the opposite lapel.
  2. Position both feet in the finishing position between the opponent's feet.
  3. Take a small penetration step without overextending.
  4. Turn and pull the opponent's arm over the other arm.
  5. Drive the front foot deep underneath the opponent and drop to both knees, not staying on the front foot.
  6. As you come down, curl up as if performing a forward roll on the shoulder to bring the opponent down with gravity and body weight.
  7. After the throw, transition to a pinning position on the mat to maintain control and prevent the opponent from rolling away.
  8. Keep the grip throughout the throw to ensure control and finish in a dominant position.
