The moment Tori turns backwards availing herself of Uke’s pulling force, Tori has to strike at Uke’s chin with her right fist without putting any time interval. 2. Tori has to turn around rightward. 3. Tori has to synchronize her striking at Uke’s chin with her right fist, with her parrying Uke’s right upper arm with her left hand.

If she is late to do so, she may not be able to turn around backwards. 2) At the time of kicking at the testicles of Uke, Tori has to push up both elbows of Uke with both hands to loosen the choking force of Uke. 3) Tori has to synchronize her pushing Uke’s upper body with both her hands, with her bringing the right foot forward by a big pace.
