4. Thumb Winding Throw
Your attacker approaches from behind preparing to choke you. Reach over your shoulder to grab the attacker’s thumbs. Grab his thumbs securely with your hands, thumbs down. Lift his hands off and turn to your right. Bring his left arm down across his right arm, at his elbows, thus causing his left elbow to be locked against his right arm. Wind both of his thumbs in a large counterclockwise circle, keeping them at opposite poles on the “edge” of the circle, to execute the throw. Let go of his thumbs once the attacker is thrown.

Step in with your left foot and bring his hand up in a counterclockwise circle to your right. As you continue to turn his arm counterclockwise bring it over your head, pivoting your body to your right. Continue turning until you are facing in the opposite direction from your attacker. His shoulder is now locked. Your right hand keeps hold of the handshake.

Raise your left forearm slightly and push down with your right hand to create pain in your attacker's elbow locked in the armbar.

ukemi

受け身
1. [Aikido, Judo, Ju-jutsu] breakfalls; methods of falling or receiving techniques safely
2. A method of falling to soften the impact of someone who is thrown to the ground (see Uke, Tori, Nage, Shite). The only way to dispel the hard impact experienced when the body strikes the floor (or the Tatami) is to use the ‘break-falls’ which produce a counter-impact and so nullify to a large extent the shock to the body. The chief technique is to strike the floor with the open palm of the hand and the forearm as one lands. See: ushiro-ukemi, yoko-ukemi, and mae-ukemi. In all cases, the body must stay supple and relaxed with the chin drawn into the chest to protect the head and neck.
3. (oo-kay'mee) “art of falling” or “breakfalling” The art of using shock-dispersing actions to avoid injury when falling. Ukemi is an instrumental practice to both judo and aikido.

3. (oo-kee goh'shee) “floating hip throw” A judo hip technique; the fourth technique of nage-no-kata.

2. [Judo] “Floating throw”. Tori places one knee on the ground, at the same time pulling on Uke’s sleeve, causing him or her to pivot on the supporting leg and fall forward.
3. (oo-kee oh-toh'shee) “floating drop” A judo hand throwing technique; the first technique of nage-no-kata.
4. floating drop throw
  1. From the ready position, grab your opponent by the collar. As your opponent moves in to execute a standard basic hip throw (koshi nage) place your hand on his shoulder. As you are lifted off the ground for the throw, grab your opponent’s left shoulder, thus establishing control. As your opponent completes the movement of the hip throw, add your own momentum to the turn by maintaining your hold on your opponent’s left shoulder, thus throwing him and causing him to land at your left side on the mat.
  2. Assume a ready position, as your opponent attempts to strike, block his punch away, stepping in with your left foot at the same time. As you move in toward the attacker, grab his right lapel with your right hand. Step in beyond the attacker with your right foot, causing the attacker to lose his balance, and/or push back against your body with his body. As he pushes his body against you, fall back towards his left. This will cause him to fall to your left side.
  3. Assume a ready position facing your attacker. Block his right punch with your left forearm, then step in with your with your left foot and grab his sleeve with your left hand. Put your right arm around the attacker's head and kick your right leg to the outside of his right leg as high as it will go. Have your left leg follow your right leg so that you have both feet up in the air, your back tight against the attacker’s chest and his head tight against you. Turn quickly to your left as you reach your maximum height to bring your opponent over you and down. [submit with ude guruma, 'shoulderlock pin']
9. Floating Drop
You break your opponent’s balance to his right front corner and pull him downward with both hands, causing him to fall forward in a circle. Another way to do the technique is to step back and drop to your left knee, left toes raised. Pull hard using the combined power of both arms. This form of the throw is done in the throwing kata and is often more effective of the two.
10. [Judo] Floating Drop
The practitioner drops to one knee, wheling the opponent over the forward foot. Also called Pulling Down Straight Leg Throw
