Soto Makikomi is a Judo throwing technique classified as one of the "sacrifice throws" or sutemi-waza. In Japanese, "soto" means "outside" and "makikomi" translates to "wraparound." This technique involves wrapping one's body around the opponent's torso from the outside and using leverage to throw them to the ground.

Here's a basic breakdown of how Soto Makikomi is executed:

Setup: The Judoka (Judo practitioner) initiates the technique by stepping diagonally forward and to the side of their opponent, positioning themselves slightly to the side of the opponent's body.

Grip: The Judoka grabs hold of their opponent's upper body, typically the lapel or sleeve, using one hand. This grip allows the Judoka to control the opponent's balance and movement.

Entry: With a strong grip established, the Judoka wraps their arm around the opponent's torso from the outside, encircling them with their body.

Rotation: As the Judoka wraps around their opponent, they use their momentum to rotate their body, pulling the opponent off balance and tipping them over their hip.

Projection: With the opponent off balance and the Judoka's body fully engaged in the rotation, they drive their hips forward and upward, using the leverage of their wrapped arm and body to project the opponent forcefully to the ground.

Finish: The Judoka maintains control throughout the throw, ensuring that the opponent lands safely on their back while the Judoka remains in a stable position.

Soto Makikomi requires precise timing, coordination, and technique to execute effectively. It's considered a high-risk, high-reward technique because it involves sacrificing one's own balance and positioning to throw the opponent. If executed correctly, it can result in a decisive throw, earning valuable points in a Judo match or potentially leading to a submission opportunity in a self-defense scenario. However, mistiming or improperly executing Soto Makikomi can leave the Judoka vulnerable to counterattacks or being thrown themselves.

Judo is not only a martial art but also a popular competitive sport. Judo matches take place on a mat and involve throwing an opponent onto their back, pinning them for a designated time, or submitting them through joint locks or strangles. Matches are scored based on the control, force, and execution of techniques. Judo's worldwide popularity led to its inclusion in the Olympic Games, where it has been a competitive event since 1964.
