Hip Throw to Near Side Armbar from Knee on Belly
Marcelo explains a sequence starting from a Hip-Throw: When making your grips for your throwing entry, determine whether or not your hand that releases their collar should go either over or under their arm; base your choice on the height of your opponent relative to your own. Typically, if you are much taller than your opponent, it will be more comfortable to reach over their shoulder and make a grip behind their back for the toss (e.g. Koshiguruma, Hip-Wheel, Head-Lock, Over-Back Grip Throw). If you are shorter than your opponent, reach underneath their arm following their belt-line as in Ogoshi a.k.a. Major Hip Throw. When entering your throw, don't vacillate with your back turned; if you stay too long in front of your opponent while they are still in balance, they may counter-throw or accidentally jump onto your knees. Quickly break your opponent's posture and undermine their base with your hips as you pull them across them onto the floor. Keep ahold of your opponent's sleeve when they land so that you can easily transition from Knee-on-Belly (a.k.a. Knee-Mount, Knee-in-Stomach, Joelho-no-Barriga, Ukigatame, et al.) directly into a Near-Side Armlock.
