Kata-guruma
(often referred to as the fireman's lift) From a standard grip, draw your
opponent forwards and upwards on the sleeve grip by raising you own arm
high this will also make room for your head, as you are doing this step
forward with your opposite leg and step as deep as possible between your
opponent's feet. When stepping in you should bend your knees as much as
possible, whilst still drawing your opponent over your shoulders, prior to
stepping in you should relinquish your lapel grip and slip your arm
through the inside of your opponents thigh and grasp around the back of
their hamstring. To execute the throw, you should straighten your legs
lifting uke off the mat, all the time pressure should be on the sleeve
helping to pull them off your shoulders when you reach the standing
position, aided by the hold on the leg, which should be lifted over the
back of your head, you should aim to land uke on the mat in the front quadrant
with the sleeve grip.
