Six bouts, with a closer look at the techniques

For a pushing force-out versus a close-contact force-out, compare Asakoryu’s oshidashi note with Wakamotoharu’s yorikiri note. For an arm throw without a belt grip, start with Kitanowaka’s kotenage note. For a close-contact finish that topples the opponent, choose Dewanoryu’s yoritaoshi note. The confirmed results are separate from these general technique notes, which do not reconstruct the six bouts.
