makikomi 巻き込み まきこみ
wrap-around
Also: wrapping throw, rolling sacrifice, winding-in
Action
Makikomi describes a throwing action where tori traps uke's arm, wraps their own body around uke, and sacrifices their balance by rolling or falling together with uke to drive them to the ground. Derived from maku (巻く, "to roll/wind/wrap") combined with the inclusion suffix komi (込み, "into/inclusion"), the term literally means "wrapping-into" or "rolling-up." Mechanically, makikomi distinguishes a throw from its non-sacrifice counterpart (e.g., harai-goshi → harai-makikomi) by tori's commitment to going down with uke rather than remaining upright. In the Kodokan framework, makikomi variants are classified under yoko-sutemi-waza (side sacrifice techniques). Usage context: Appears almost exclusively as a suffix on parent throws — soto-makikomi, uchi-makikomi, hane-makikomi, harai-makikomi, o-soto-makikomi, uchi-mata-makikomi, ko-uchi-makikomi. Frequently emerges in competition when a standing throw fails to lift cleanly and tori commits to wrapping uke down rather than abandoning the attempt. Carries higher injury risk to uke (and occasionally tori) because both bodies hit the mat entangled.
