Tsuri Goshi

Takedown · Judo Throws

A lifting hip throw with a belt grip from the grip fight standing to side control, for an opponent who bends forward but stays close. Keep the sleeve, reach your other arm over his arm and shoulder and take his belt at the back; pull the belt up and toward you so his weight rises onto his toes, which is the kuzushi. Step in and turn, knees well bent so your hips go lower than his and out past his far hip, then straighten the legs and lift with the belt hand while the sleeve hand pulls around your body: he rotates over your hip onto his back. Compared with the neighbours: o goshi wraps the arm under his armpit around the waist and has no belt lift, tsurikomi goshi lifts with the lapel grip into his armpit; tsuri goshi lifts by the belt. Over his arm is o tsuri goshi, under the arm is ko tsuri goshi. The common error is pulling the belt with the arm while the hips stay high: the legs lift him. If he leans back against the pull, ouchi gari; if he steps around your hip, harai goshi.

How to do it

  1. Hold the sleeve. As they bend forward close to you, reach your other arm over their arm and shoulder and take the belt at the back.
  2. Pull the belt up and toward you so they rise onto their toes.
  3. Step in and turn, knees well bent, your hips below theirs and out past their far hip.
  4. Straighten the legs and lift with the belt hand while the sleeve hand pulls around your body.
  5. They rotate over your hip onto their back; keep the sleeve and follow into side control.

Key details

  • The belt lift is the kuzushi: pull up and in until they are on their toes.
  • Hips lower than theirs and out past their far hip, or you only bump them.
  • The legs lift, the arm only holds: straighten the knees to load them.
  • Keep the sleeve pulling around your body all the way.
  • Difference from o goshi and tsurikomi goshi: here the belt grip lifts, not the waist wrap or the lapel.

Common mistakes

  • Pulling the belt with the arm while standing tall. — Your hips stay above theirs and there is nothing to lift them with. — Bend the knees deep on the turn and lift with the legs.
  • Turning in without the lift. — They stay flat-footed and too heavy, then block with the hips. — Lift by the belt first, turn in second.
  • Letting go of the sleeve. — They post a hand and land on their side or turn out. — Pull the sleeve around your body until they land.

How to drill it

Uchikomi with the belt grip, 3 x 10: lift, turn in, load onto the hip without throwing. Then 5 throws each side onto crash mats.

Safety

Keep the sleeve so the partner can breakfall on the back. Practise falls (ukemi) before throws.
