Description of Rōtō (Routo)

Uke grabs tori's shirt or lapel with his right hand and punches with his left hand. Tori holds uke's right hand with his left hand and blocks the punch with a right Jodan yuke. Tori then performs Ura gyaku with his right hand while in the same time switching legs and punching uke's right ribs with his left. After finishing the Ura gyaku with uke lying face down on the ground tori finishes with a kick.
