-Tomoe-nage is a dynamic and visually stunning move, which was featured in basically every television and movie fight scene between 1960 and 1980, when [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Rl--OZ6p0 ninjas] and [[Jump_side_kick|flying kicks]] became the new fad. As such, tomoe-nage is ''the'' hallmark of jūdō.

 Within [[Goshin-Jutsu]], tomoe-nage is reserved for at least [[Intermediate|intermediate]] students, not because of its complexity, but because [[Beginners|beginners]] and [[Novice_students|novice students]] should concentrate on  fundamentals.
 Throwing is technically complex, and will take some practice -- but not effort -- as long as you remember to do everything by the numbers:
-#'''Kuzushi (Destroying balance)''': Tomoe-nage is a “towards throw;” which requires that the opponent’s energy to move towards you. As such, tomoe-nage is appropriate when the opponent is pushing or charging at you. ''Do not use an [[Atemi|atemi]] to stun the opponent''; you need their momentum to complete the throw. Do not use tomoe-nage if the opponent is pulling you, or if they are leaning back. Fighting against the opponent’s momentum and balance is counter-productive.<br/><br/>Grab the opponent’s arms, ideally, by the sleeve, just under the elbow. Squat slightly and do not resist the opponent’s forward momentum, so that they wind up pulling themselves off-balance.  <br/><br/>If possible, try to include a little hop towards the opponent after placing you foot on other abdomen,  to get close as possible before sitting. Throws always work better with a tight connection.<br/><br/>

-#'''Tsukuri (Positioning):''' Place your left foot between the opponent’s feet. Sit down, so that your butt touches your left heel. Simultaneously bend your right knee and place your right foot on the opponent’s abdomen. To protect your toes, be sure to form the [[Koshi|koshi]]. As you sit, you will pull the opponent down and forward by their sleeves. <br/><br/> Tomoe-nage is a “sacrifice throw,” because you must compromise your own balance and fall to the ground to execute this technique. While we do not normally advocate compromising your balance, our aversion adds an element of surprise. Since falling to the ground is guaranteed to lower your [[Center|center-of-mass]] below the level of your opponent’s center-of-mass, tall people will have no difficulty executing a tomoe-nage.  <br/><br/>

-#'''Nage (Throw):''' Simultaneously perform a [[Rear_breakfall|rear breakfall]] and execute a right [[Front_kick|front kick]] straight up to lift the opponent. This will send the opponent sailing overhead. In practice, your partner will dive roll into a somersault, and land in a rear breakfall. Ideally, you retain your grip on the opponent’s sleeves, using their momentum to roll yourself on top of them, into a dominant position for the grappling match to follow. <br/><br/>  [video of tomoe-goshi fast and slow, from different angles.]

 In training, be sure that you and your partner are looking in opposite directions, to avoid bumping heads.
