Third Movement (Figs. 5–8). The vital thing is to throw all the weight on to the hands. From a subconscious fear of falling, beginners hold back; they should practise using a chair, if necessary, to get the feel of it. See the section on Throwing the Weight in Taiotoshi.

Fig. 6 shows how low the knee goes. If it gets right down, it is easier for my pull to bring his shin on top of the leg.

In Fig. 8 I begin the springing-up action. I have got the opponent bending right over, and in fact I bear him up with the back of my right leg.

Fourth Movement. This is the actual execution of the throw, and needs no special explanation here – if the preceding movements are done well, it will come off by itself. Beginners on the contrary are in such a hurry to get on to this part that they leave out the previous moves and try to make up for everything with one big heave at the end. Such Judo always leads to failure, unless you are much stronger than your opponent, and even then it often does not score.
