- Tomoe nage
nihongo|Tomoe nage|巴投 is one of the traditional forty throws of
Judo as developed byJigaro Kano . It belongs to the third group (Sankyo) of the traditional throwing list, the traditional Gokyo (no waza), [ [http://www.judoinfo.com/gokyo1.htm The Traditional Gokyo of Kodokan Judo] ] and the current 67 Throws of Kodokan Judo [ [http://www.judoinfo.com/gokyo.htm The 67 Throws of Kodokan Judo] ] . Tomoe nage is categorized as a front sacrifice technique or Ma-sutemi, because the technique is not a sweep or a trip and tori falls back in front of uke while throwing uke. [ [http://www.judoinfo.com/gokyo3.htm Technique classification] ] It is also one ofDanzan Ryu 's twenty throws in the Nagete list.Tomoe nage is performed by the attacker ("tori") gripping the opponent ("uke") high and falling backward as in a backward roll. Once "uke" is off balance forward, "tori" plants a foot low on "uke" at waist level and applies strong pressure, rolling onto his own back with "uke" above him. This causes "uke" to flip over "tori" and land on his back. The final position is both practitioners are on their backs, head to head. Variations that maintain the high grip and complete the backward roll allow "tori" to mount "uke" at the completion of the throw.
The counter to tomoe nage is to either crouch or to evade the rising foot of the attacker.
