Ude Gatame
Uke stabs at tore's left kidney. Tore enters with right arm above uke's, left arm below, stepping around, dropping uke to the mat, and then executing an arm-bar. (On the entry, Tore's right hand must be above Uke's elbow [closer to the wrist]. His left arm must be between the elbow and the shoulder to get a nice leverage point for the upcoming pivot)
