Ko-soto-gari into Tani-otoshi

  1. Ko-soto-gari小外刈
  2. Tani-otoshi谷落

Lifting a foot clear of the minor outer reap moves your partner's weight backwards over a leg they cannot step back with. Tani-otoshi puts a barrier exactly there.

Step by step

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

  1. Take your right grips and reap the outside of their right heel with the sole of your left foot.
  2. Feel them lift the foot clear and settle their weight back.
  3. Keep the sleeve and step your left foot across to the outside of their right foot.
  4. Turn to face the same way as them and extend your left leg behind both of their legs, low and straight.
  5. Sit down close beside them, driving your shoulders back over the extended leg.
  6. They fall backwards over your leg; keep the sleeve so they land on their side rather than flat.
