Ashi Guruma

Tori grasps Uke sleeve with his Hiki-te (Pulling hand) and the collar with his Tsurite (Lifting hand), and steps forward toward Uke.

At the moment when Uke responds by pushing back, Tori uses his Hiki-te (Pulling hand) to pull Uke toward him while at the same time twisting his body around so that his back is facing Uke in a sideways posture.

Tori then extends his Hiki-te (Pulling hand) side leg between Uke legs while spinning on his foot to turn his back toward Uke .

From this posture, Tori extends his other leg diagonally to place it against both of Uke legs, destabilizing Uke in the Hiki-te (Pulling hand) direction. Finally, Tori spins on his leg to execute the throw.
