🔖 Technique Notes

This technique appears to be a scissor head throw (Kubi Nage) variation. Contrary to more common scissor head throws, both legs are not placed symmetrically on either side of the head. Instead, the left foot is positioned to the side of the head, while the right leg passes underneath the face, creating an asymmetrical scissoring structure.
The action of the left foot may resemble a Tomoe Nage–like motion, possibly contributing to forward rotation and lift, with the contact point being at the face rather than the abdomen or hip as in Tomoe Nage.
