    De-ashi-harai into Hiza-guruma

    1. De-ashi-harai出足払 · であしはらい
    2. Hiza-guruma膝車 · ひざぐるま

    A sweep that just misses makes your partner plant the foot and check their step; the checked, weighted leg is what Hiza-guruma wheels over.

    Step by step

    These steps describe the whole sequence in the standard right-handed form.

    1. Take the standard right grips, your left hand on their right sleeve and your right hand on their left lapel, and move with them so they have to step.
    2. As their right foot advances, sweep it sideways with the sole of your left foot.
    3. Feel the sweep just miss: they plant that foot early, check the step, and their weight settles onto it.
    4. Do not chase the foot. Slide the same left foot up their shin and place the sole against the outside of their right knee, your leg straight.
    5. Turn your hands like a steering wheel, pulling their right sleeve down towards your left hip and driving your lapel hand around and up.
    6. They wheel forward over the blocked knee and land on their back; keep the sleeve so their head is supported.

    Receiving it

    The sweep comes at your right foot as it advances and just misses, and the natural thing to do is exactly what makes the second attack work: you plant the foot and stop moving. Their sole then arrives against the outside of that knee, and because the leg is loaded it cannot step out of the way. You are turned forwards over it rather than knocked backwards. Go with the wheel instead of bracing against it, chin tucked, and slap with your free left arm as your back lands; they should still have your right sleeve.

    VI judo notes

    Both attacks are made with the same foot against the same leg, which keeps the whole combination inside one piece of contact. Do not lift your sweeping foot away after the miss: slide it up their shin to the knee so you never have to find the leg again. From the gripped-up start the hands matter more than the block, so drill turning both hands together while the foot only stops the leg.
