[Cntr-4.0] Counter to Ura-nage (By Leg Entanglement)

This is used only as a last-ditch measure to prevent being thrown over the opponent’s shoulder. When you feel your feet leave the tatami quickly wrap your heels around uke’s ankles or thighs. Best case scenario uke reverses the throw and you drop backwards into the guard. The bad news is your fighting in range-three, and that may not be your strong suit.

Execution:

• (Uke) Tries to execute a hip Ura-nage.
• (Tori) To prevent being thrown warp your legs around the opponent’s legs.

Follow-up Technique:  

• Strike the attacker with elbows and punches.
• Grasp the opponent’s belt or obi and drop down and pull uke forwards into Uki-waza when countering Ura-nage.
• Practice getting back to your feet after making this throw to be in a superior fighting position.
