Prise de sumo: Okurinage

In this technique, the attacker has circled behind the defender. Standing behind the defender, using any one of several possible hand positions, he throws the defender forward and down or to the side and down. The key point to this technique is the attacker’s position in relationship to the defender at the time of the throw. Okurinage is one of the 12 techniques added in the 2001 winning technique list expansion.
