Tai-otoshi into Seoi-nage
Posting against the body drop pulls your partner's chest down and forward over your shoulder line. That is the shoulder throw's opening, and the entry is only half a step away.

Step by step
The whole sequence in words. Described in the standard right-handed form.
- Take your right grips and turn in for Tai-otoshi, your right leg extended across their right foot.
- Feel them post their leg and drive their weight down to stop the throw.
- Pull your right foot back underneath you and step your hips deeper between theirs.
- Drive your right arm up under their right armpit and pull the sleeve down with your left.
- Straighten your legs and turn your shoulders to the left, loading them onto your back.
- They come over your shoulder and land on their back; keep the sleeve.
Receiving it
Posting your leg and driving your weight down stops the body drop, and it pulls your chest forward over their shoulder line, which is the shoulder throw's opening. Their foot comes back underneath them and their hips go deeper than before. Once you are loaded on their back, go with it: chin tucked, stay long instead of reaching for the mat, and slap with your free left arm as your back lands.
VI judo notes
Their defence arrives as downward weight in both of your hands, and it is the cue to step the blocking foot back in rather than to fight for the block. Bring your hips deeper between theirs by feel, hip against hip, before you straighten your legs. The sleeve stays pulling down and across throughout, which is what keeps their chest on your back.
