Figures 4-6. This method is applicable in actual contests when both parties stand in a defensive position in order to avoid being thrown by the other. For success in this move it is necessary to disturb the calmness of your opponent. For this proceed as follows: first stand in the defensive posture, the opponent will also assume this posture. Now, firmly catch the right sleeve of your opponent with your left hand. Suddenly, slap your right hand against your right thigh and shout. The sound will momentarily shock and puzzle the opponent. Taking advantage of this moment pull him forward by his right arm, and suddenly leap toward him and hook your right arm around his neck, pulling his head into your chest. Then sweep his left leg with your right as previously described. Generally, when you catch him like this, he will try to escape, not knowing what to do, by pulling himself up. This is also a good opportunity. Fall violently on him as both bodies spring up and drive his back to the mat.

Another opportunity occurs when the opponent attempts to use a leg move on you. At this time grip one of his legs, lifting it off the mat,then sweep his supporting leg with o-uchi-gari.

Figures 7-8. O-uchi-gari is used many times in combination with other techniques. In the example shown, if you have tried o-uchi-gari and have failed because the opponent raised his leg to escape, you quickly apply tai-otoshi on his supporting leg.
