Knee wheel

Biomechanics: what the body does

A very close relative of sasae-tsurikomi-ashi: the hands turn the opponent forward and round like a wheel, while the sole of the foot blocks the opponent’s knee instead of the shin. The blocked knee becomes the axle, and the opponent rotates over it and falls.
