Irimi-nage

(enter body throw) 8th form attack

Your partner catches the back of your collar with his left hand. Attack his face with your right hand - usually the side as in the Karate shuto techniques. He will defend against this attack with his right arm. As you hit his arm, step into his right side with your left foot deflecting his right arm down. Now catch his neck. Step back with your right foot making a ninety degree turn, bringing him with you. At the end of the movement, bring your arm over his face throwing him backwards. He should escape by a backward roll, so as not to injure himself.Nikkyo (second principle) 12th form attack
