• pushes with his left foot the right hip from UKE back.
• turns on his left side and raises his right leg in a spiral motion over Ukes head. The left arm of UKE, it is located below right knee, which blocked the elbow of UKE. The instep of the right foot lies in front of the throat of UKE under his chin.
