Body drop. There are two basic ways to execute this throw. In the classical form there is no contact between the outstretched Tori's leg and the Uke's leg. The throwing action is the results of the push and pull action of the hands. In the modern form the outstretched Tori's leg has an active role in blocking the Uke's advancing ankle and sweeping away Uke's foot when Tori straightens the leg. |

This technique is often confused with Tai Otoshi executed with a same side lapel-sleeve grip. The basic difference is that in Seoi Otoshi there is contact between the Uke's chest and Tori back, while in Tai Otoshi there is no body contact. A second source of confusion is the role of the Tori leg/legs. No matter wether Tori is kneeling over one or two legs, or keeps the leg outstretched in Tai Otoshi like way,the main point is to pull Uke, from the shoulders to the mat, without springing up. In the latter case, the technique is, again, a Seoi Nage. |
