Ma-Sutemi-Waza 真捨身技

Ma-Sutemi-Waza are sacrifice throws where tori falls directly backward onto their own back as part of the throwing action. The fall is deliberate — tori sacrifices their standing position to use their body weight and leg power to project uke upward and over. Tomoe-Nage is the iconic example.
