…or "What I had to do for a silver medal".

I'm the one being thrown.

Enjoy!

The throws are, in order:

Uki-otoshi ("floating drop")
Seoi-nage ("shoulder throw")
Kata-guruma ("shoulder wheel")*

Uki-goshi ("floating hip throw")
Harai-goshi ("sweeping hip throw")
Tsurikomi-goshi ("lifting-pulling hip throw")

Okuri-ashi-harai ("sideways foot sweep")
Sasae-tsurikomi-ashi ("blocking lifting-pulling foot throw")
Uchi-mata ("inner thigh throw")

Each one is performed right-handed and left-handed.

* Which impresses everyone, but really isn't that bad of a landing, if you know what you're doing.

No bruises, no. I hurt more after a practice, generally, than I did during the Real Thing. That last throw in particular, uchi-mata, can be a thump of a landing, but in the tournament it was the softest uchi-mata landing I'd had to that point.

Now I just want to do the kata as tori, the thrower.
