Standing Punch Defense to Koshi Guruma Hip Throw to Knee on Belly (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to do the Koshi Guruma throw from a punch defense position. Lucas is standing in front of the opponent keeping his hands together above his chest. As the opponent throws the punch, Lucas steps forward opening his hands to block the punch. He then steps in and brings his hips to the opponent. He controls one of the opponent’s arm as he uses his other arm to go over and around the opponent’s shoulder gripping the same shoulder of the arm he is controlling. Lucas then turns so he can throw the opponent over his hips. As the opponent lands, Lucas makes sure to immediately go to the knee on belly position.
