Tsuri Goshi

This Waza begins from the natural posture, with Tori Hiki-te (Pulling hand) grasping the right rear of Uke sleeve, and his Tsurite (Lifting hand) grasping the side of Uke collar.

As he pulls Uke forward with his pulling hand, Tori destabilizes Ukebalance diagonally toward the front. Tori then releases his lifting hand grasp on Uke collar and slips his arm around Uke waist to grasp the back of his belt.

After grasping the belt, Tori lifts Uke hips and pulls Uke pulling hand forward, while moving his own pulling-arm side leg back and spinning around to bring Uke snugly against his back.

Tori then bends both knees to further destabilize Uke toward the front, and brings Uke up onto his hip, finally using the spring force from his knees to execute the throw.

Although Tori begins the throw with his lifting hand lifting the back of Uke belt, he releases the belt at the end, and completes the throw with his pulling hand. 

The Tsuri-goshi (Lifting hip throw) can be performed with the Tsurite passing beneath Uke armpit to grasp the back of Uke belt, or by reaching over Uke shoulder to grasp the back of the belt.
