Yoko guruma

Yoko Guruma (横車) is one of the original 40 throws of judo as developed by Jigoro Kano.

This technique is considerably difficult to perform, and can be used as either a direct attack or a counter.

In classical study of nage-waza, it is preferable to use it as a counter throw to seoi-nage.

With a large rotational movement, Tori attempts to land on the left side by placing the right leg between those of Uke.

The throw is a natural consequence of this movement and is angled in the direction of flow.
