Standing Phase Tie-up Clinch/Upper Body Control Blocking/Propping (Sasae) Lift Off-Balance (Kuzushi) Timing (Debana) Foot/Leg Techniques (Ashi-waza)

Description

Tori places the sole against the front of uke's ankle/shin as an immovable post — this is a block, not a sweep - while lifting and pulling uke forward and around so they rotate over the propped foot and fall. The mechanic mirrors harai-tsurikomi-ashi: same lift-pull kuzushi, but the foot blocks rather than brushes.

Common Applications

Catch uke's foot the instant it steps forward to plant; the lift-pull turns their forward momentum into a rotation over the block. A reliable "safe" throw with low counter risk.
