Technique Description
O-goshi's classification as a koshi-waza (腰技?, hip technique), indicates the central role that the hip plays in the execution of the technique.
In this technique, kuzushi (崩し?, the balance break) is to uke's front. Tsukuri (作り?, turning/fitting in) involves tori turning his hips, moving them in front and below uke's hips, with tori's tsurite (釣手?, lifting (lapel-side) hand)) passing behind uke's back, usually under uke's arm, while minimising the amount of space between tori's back and uke's chest. Tori's hikite (引手?, pulling (sleeve-side) hand) pulls uke's arm to the front, maintaining the balance break. Kake (掛け?, the execution of the throw) involves tori lifting with the hips and bending forward while continuing the pull to the front and down, bringing uke onto the mat at tori's feet.

Famous quotes containing the words technique and/or description:
“The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
