About This Technique

Hikikomi Gaeshi (引込返), or the pulling-in counter / overturn, is a rear sacrifice technique (ma-sutemi-waza) in Judo. It involves securing a deep over-the-back grip on the opponent's belt, pulling them down close against your chest, and dropping straight backward onto your spine while hooking an instep under their inner thigh to flip them overhead.
