    Harai-goshi into Soto-makikomi

    1. Harai-goshi払腰
    2. Soto-makikomi外巻込

    When the hip is in but the arm never comes over, winding into Soto-makikomi finishes the same entry. Your body becomes the lever instead of your hip, so the throw survives a partner who is heavier or better braced.

    Step by step

    The whole sequence in words. Described in the standard right-handed form.

    1. Turn in for Harai-goshi with your right grips, your hip across theirs.
    2. Feel the throw stall: their weight stays back and your right lapel hand cannot turn their shoulders.
    3. Release the lapel and throw your right arm over the outside of their right arm, clamping it against your ribs.
    4. Keep turning hard to your left so your back rolls across their chest, and let your right leg sweep back across their thigh.
    5. Commit your whole body weight into the turn and roll to the mat with them, landing on your right side rather than on top of them.
    6. Both of you land together; take the fall on your own side and keep their trapped arm supported. Build this one up gradually with a partner who knows it is coming.

    Receiving it

    The hip is already in when it changes. Instead of being swept over their thigh you feel your right arm clamped against their ribs and their whole body turning and rolling, and once the arm is trapped there is no stepping out of it. You land together. Turn with them rather than resisting, keep your chin tucked, and slap with your free left arm as your side meets the mat. Their weight must not arrive on your shoulder, so build this one up gradually with a partner who knows it is coming.

    VI judo notes

    The stall is easy to feel: their shoulders will not turn and your lapel hand is doing nothing. That is the moment to change the lever from your hip to your body. Because the finish takes you both down and your hands are committed to the wind-up, agree the working direction and check the mat edge before you start; makikomi travels further than you expect.
