Tomoe nage (巴投) is one of the traditional fortythrows ofjujutsu andJudo. It belongs to the third group (Sankyo) of the traditional throwing list, the traditional Gokyo (no waza),[1] and the current67 Throws of Kodokan Judo.[2]
Tomoe nage is categorized as a front sacrifice technique orMae-sutemi, because the technique is not a sweep or a trip and tori falls back in front of uke while throwing uke.[3]It is also one ofDanzan Ryu's twenty throws in theNagete list.
Tomoe nage is performed by the attacker (tori) gripping the opponent (uke) high and falling backward as in a backward roll. Onceuke is off balance forward,tori plants a foot low onuke at waist level and applies strong pressure, rolling onto his own back withuke above him. This causesuke to flip overtori and land on his back. The final position is both practitioners are on their backs, head to head. Variations that maintain the high grip and complete the backward roll allowtori tomountuke at the completion of the throw. Counters to tomoe nage include crouching or evading the rising foot of the attacker.
