This Waza begins with Tori Tsurite (Lifting hand) grasping Uke near his collarbone, and his Hiki-te (Pulling hand) grasping Uke near his elbow.
While lifting his pulling hand, Tori steps toward Uke and spins around, pulling Uke against his back.
Using both his lifting and pulling hands to destabilize Uke balance toward the front, Tori then sweeps Uke feet out from under him at the ankle area.
Although Tori has only a one-legged stance after bringing Uke onto his hip, he is able to throw Uke by swiveling his hips and sweeping Uke feet and hips out from under him in a sudden motion.
The Harai-goshi (Hip sweep) Waza is used by both men and women without regard to rank, and can frequently be seen in competition.
Lightweight combatants rely on speed to execute this Waza, and heavier combatants rely on power.
