Tomoe nage is categorized as a front sacrifice technique or
Mae-sutemi, because the technique is not a sweep or a trip and tori falls back in front of uke while throwing uke.
It is also one of
Danzan Ryu's twenty throws in the
Nagete list.
Technique
Tomoe nage is performed by the attacker (''
tori'') gripping the opponent (''
uke'') high and falling backward as in a backward roll. Once ''uke'' is off balance forward, ''tori'' plants a foot low on ''uke'' at waist level and applies strong pressure, rolling onto his own back with ''uke'' above him. This causes ''uke'' to flip over ''tori'' and land on his back. The final position is both practitioners are on their backs, head to head. Variations that maintain the high grip and complete the backward roll allow ''tori'' to
mount

''uke'' at the completion of the throw. Counters to tomoe nage include crouching or evading the rising foot of the attacker.
