Sumi gaeshi

Also called Corner reversal

A judo sacrifice throw where you sit down under them, hook a foot inside their thigh, and lift them over you. You roll through with them to come up on top.

Key steps

  1. Lock a body lock or an over-under; in the Gi, grip over their back or belt and a sleeve.
  2. Drop your hips straight down beneath them and roll onto your back.
  3. Hook the top of your foot inside their thigh as you go down between their feet.
  4. Lift with the hooked leg and pull with your arms to tip them over your head.
  5. Follow the roll over your shoulder and come up on top as they land.

Key details

  • Save it for when they're bent over and leaning on you; that forward lean is what sends them over.
  • Sitting down far from them puts you under their legs instead of their hips, and the throw stalls.
