To complete the turn the right hand moves quickly in a circular bowling action (with the fist closed) over the shoulder at a 45° angle (figs. 36 and 37) (n.b. at this stage the left arm is in front of the body) across the left hip (figs. 38 and 39) and then across the body with a right chudan uchi uke (figs. 40 and 41).
