About This Technique
Tomoe Nage (巴投), or the circle throw, is one of the most famous sacrifice techniques (ma-sutemi-waza / rear sacrifice) in Judo. It involves intentionally dropping backward onto your back (sutemi) to plant the sole of your foot into the opponent's lower abdomen, using your body weight and leg extension to flip them overhead in a high, circular arc.
