Dog bolts at the low bench: the everyday analogy for Tai Otoshi
Dog bolts at the low bench

Mechanic

Tori blocks uke's shin with an outstretched leg, a low bar across the ankle, and hurls uke's upper body forward and down past it. The feet stop dead at the block while the body keeps going, so uke pitches straight over.

Analogy

You're walking a big dog past a knee-high park bench when it bolts after a squirrel. The leash snaps taut and hauls you forward and down just as your shins catch the bench edge: feet stopped, everything else launched.

Why it maps

The lunging leash is tori's two-handed hurl on sleeve and lapel, and the bench edge is the outstretched leg: a hard forward-down pull above a shin-height block pitches the body straight over.
