DE-ASHI-BARAI into MUNE-GATAME

Tori applies De-ashi-barai accordingly to Ukes movement and continues into Mune-gatame. It is important to avoid chest-to-chest contact or shoulder-to-chest clash that can often result if Tori loses his balance after throwing landing heavily on Uke. Continuity is achieved by Tori supporting Ukes arm upwards on contact with the ground opening up a space for his own entry. Taking his weight slowly on his knee whilst settling alongside Uke to apply Mune-gatame.
