Hane-makikomi 跳巻込 (Flying Wraparound Throw)

Classification: Ma-sutemi-waza (front sacrifice technique)
Translation:

• Hane = spring, jump
• Makikomi = wraparound

Technical Description

Hane-makikomi is a front sacrifice throw executed as a continuation or variation of hane-goshi (spring hip throw). After an initial attack with hane-goshi fails or is partially executed, tori releases the grip with the right hand and wraps uke around their own torso. Tori then falls forward to the mat, pulling uke over in a powerful wrapping motion.

This throw is known for its dynamic and committed execution, often used when the opponent resists a hip technique.

Biomechanics of Hane-makikomi

This technique combines two mechanical principles:

• Centrifugal Force: Tori rotates forward and uke is thrown in an arcing motion over the body of tori.
• Couple (Re + F3): Tori uses a lifting motion with the leg, similar to hane-goshi, to create force under uke’s thigh (F3), while pulling with the upper body (Re) in the opposite direction.

It is a high-commitment technique that requires precise timing and balance to control uke’s body during the forward fall.

Did You Know?

During my research into the various makikomi techniques, I stumbled upon a delicious linguistic coincidence: maki is also used in sushi!

• Makizushi (巻寿司) are rolled sushi, often made with a bamboo mat.
• Norimaki (海苔巻き) is another name for them, referring to the nori (seaweed) that wraps the rice and fish.
• Uramaki (裏巻) are inside-out rolls—interestingly related to ura-nage in judo, meaning “to throw from behind.”
• Temaki (手巻) are hand-rolled cones of sushi, like a tasty pointy wrap.

All types of maki in both judo and sushi share a core principle: a well-executed wrap creates irresistible results!
