Kuchiki taoshi

Kuchiki taoshi (朽木倒) is a single leg takedown in Judo adopted later by the Kodokan into their Shinmeisho No Waza (newly accepted techniques) list. It is categorized as a hand technique, Te-waza.

The technique was popularized by Kyutaro Kanda in 1926. Yaichihyōe Kanemitsu criticized it as a takedown lacking finesse, but included it in his acumen nonetheless.

Technique Description
Kuchiki taoshi is sometimes translated as "dead tree drop". In this throw the leg of the opponent is grabbed with one arm while pushing him onto his back.
