    Harai-goshi into O-soto-gake

    1. Harai-goshi払腰
    2. O-soto-gake大外掛

    A defended Harai-goshi leaves your partner leaning back and heavy on their right leg. O-soto-gake attacks the outside of exactly that leg, in the direction they have already chosen to lean.

    Step by step

    The whole sequence in words. Described in the standard right-handed form.

    1. Take your usual right grips and turn in for Harai-goshi, your right leg sweeping across the front of their right thigh.
    2. Feel them settle their weight back and drop their hips to stop the sweep.
    3. Step your right foot back down to the mat outside their right foot rather than fighting the block.
    4. Swing your right leg past their right side and hook the back of your calf behind their right leg, keeping your chest tight to theirs.
    5. Drive forward and down over their hooked leg with both hands, your right shoulder into their chest.
    6. They fall straight back over the hooked leg; keep the sleeve and stay upright over them.
