Tsurikomi Goshi - Lift Pull Hip Throw

Tsurikomi Goshi is classified as Koshi Waza (Hip Technique) in Judo.


Tsurikomi Goshi involves breaking your opponents balance to the front, using your sleeve and lapel grips to lift and pull your opponent and using your hips to finish the throw.


Here's a basic breakdown of how Tsurikomi Goshi is typically executed:


  1. Grip: On the sleeve and high on the lapel.
  2. Kuzushi (Off-balance): Break your opponent's balance to the front, pulling through the sleeve and lifting/drawing on through the lapel.
  3. Entry: Place your feet shoulder width a part, between your opponent's feet, bring your hips across the  front, drive your elbow into their armpit and continue to pull through the sleeve.
  4. Execution: As you bring your opponent onto your hip, straighten your legs and pull down hard on both grips and your opponent will turn over your hips and fall on their back in front of you.


Tsurikomi Goshi requires precise timing, coordination, and proper use of leverage to be effective.
