Shōmen Uchi – Standing Hiji Kime Variation (Inside Two-Atemi Shihō Nage Entry)

This sequence uses the same entry as Nishio Sensei’s Shihō Nage. As Uke attacks with Shōmen Uchi on Tori’s rear-leg side, Tori first delivers an Atemi to the face before parrying.
To enter and deliver the preemptive strike, Tori adjusts his footwork: if his feet are on the same line, he moves the front foot slightly inwards to position himself better; if the feet are wider apart, he steps the front foot back to align nearly with the rear foot, then takes the same inward step.
After the initial Atemi, as Uke lowers his arm, Tori maintains contact and guides it downward without grabbing, while delivering a second vertical descending Atemi (similar to Shōmen Uchi). As he lowers this second arm, Tori grabs Uke’s wrist and continues the motion, turning the downward action into a circular path that draws Uke’s arm inward. This creates space for Tori to enter from the outside.
From there, Tori threads the arm over Uke’s arm, slides it beneath Uke’s elbow so it is trapped against Tori’s forearm, and secures the lock by grabbing his own forearm (the one gripping Uke's wrist). While remaining standing, he curls his fingers to increase pressure on Uke’s elbow, forcing the tap.
