Purpose of Technique Fundamental #14:
This fundamental teaches the principle of the ear slap and the use of O-soto-gari. It also introduces the ability to continue the attack from a standing position once the opponent has been taken down. Next is a continuation from range two to range three to develop the student’s ability to transition.
Warning: When practicing this technique release the choke and simply drop the Uke backwards. Uke must be skilled in the backwards break-fall.
