Kihonwaza (基本技) are basic techniques. These, with the exception of the rarely seen Abisetaoshi, are some of the most common kimarite in sumo.
Abisetaoshi 浴びせ倒し[]
Forcing down the opponent on their back by leaning forward while in a grappling position (backward force down).
Oshidashi 押し出し[]
Pushing the opponent out of the ring without holding their mawashi or belt, nor fully extending his arms. Hand contact must be maintained through the push (front push out).
Oshitaoshi 押し倒し[]
Pushing the opponent down out of the ring (the opponent falls out of the ring instead of backing out) without holding their mawashi. Hand contact is maintained throughout the push (front push down).
Tsukidashi 突き出し[]
Thrusting the opponent backwards out of the ring with one or a series of hand thrusts. The attacker does not have to maintain hand contact (front thrust out).
Tsukitaoshi 突き倒し[]
Thrusting the opponent down out of the ring (the opponent falls over the edge) onto their back with a hard thrust or shove (front thrust down).
Yorikiri 寄り切り[]
Maintaining a grip on the opponent's mawashi, the opponent is forced backwards out of the ring (frontal force out).
Yoritaoshi 寄り倒し[]
Maintaining a grip on the opponent's mawashi, the opponent is forced backwards out of the ring and collapses on their back from the force of the attack (front crush out).
