About This Technique
Yoko Wakare (横分), or the side separation, is a classic side sacrifice technique (yoko-sutemi-waza) in Judo. It involves drawing the opponent forward, sliding your body horizontally across the front of their feet as you sacrifice your standing position to the side, and pulling them directly over your torso to throw them onto their back.
