combination
Hiza-guruma into Ashi-guruma
Both are wheels around a blocked leg; only the height of the block changes. If your partner lifts their foot over the block at the knee, the same turning action works with the block raised to the thigh.

Step by step
The whole sequence in words. Described in the standard right-handed form.
- Take your right grips and step in to place the sole of your left foot against the outside of their right knee.
- Turn your hands like a steering wheel to send them forward over the block.
- Feel them lift their right foot over your blocking foot to step out of it.
- Put your left foot down, step across in front of them and place your right leg straight across the front of both of their thighs.
- Continue the same wheeling action with your hands, pulling the sleeve down and driving the lapel around.
- They turn over your extended leg and land on their back; keep the sleeve throughout.
Receiving it
Their sole arrives against the outside of your right knee and their hands begin to wheel you forward. Lifting the foot over the block is the obvious escape, and it is exactly what the second attack wants: the block moves up to your thighs and the same wheeling of their hands carries on. Nothing about the turn changes, so take the same forward-turning fall. Chin tucked, held sleeve long, and slap with your free left arm as your back lands.
VI judo notes
Only the height of the block changes, so treat the pair as one continuous action of the hands rather than two throws. Keep your hands wheeling right through the change and let your leg travel up their body in contact, knee to thigh, so you never lose the position. Their foot lifting over your block is felt as your blocking foot going light, and that is your cue to step across.
