Irimi-nage (enter body throw) 4th form attack

Your partner holds your lapels with his right hand. Step back to your right corner with your left foot. Attack his face with your right hand. Follow through until your arm is under his right hand. Swiftly turn back and with a big circle with your shoulder break his grip. At the same time, step into his right side with your left leg. Catch his neck with your left hand. Take a big step with your right leg so that you are in the opposite direction. Bring your partner in a wide, smooth circle. Keep his head into your right shoulder. Your knees should be a little bent and your shoulders relaxed so as to maintain balance. Now bring your right arm over his face and bend his head back. Throw him to the mat. Do not bend from the waist but use your hip movement to throw him.
