    1. O-soto-gake大外掛 · おおそとがけ
    2. O-soto-gari大外刈 · おおそとがり

    Hooking and reaping attack the same leg on the same line. If your partner hops free of the hook, the leg is momentarily unweighted and can be reaped as it lands.

    Step by step

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

    1. Take your right grips, step in beside their right foot and hook your right calf behind their right leg.
    2. Feel them hop the trapped leg backwards to free it.
    3. Follow them, keeping your chest close and the sleeve tight.
    4. As the foot lands, drive your lapel hand up and pull the sleeve down to pin their weight onto it.
    5. Swing your right leg back and reap the leg sharply backwards.
    6. They fall straight back; keep the sleeve.

    Receiving it

    Hopping the trapped leg backwards is the way out of a hook, and it works only if you get further than they do. Expect them to follow you, chest tight, and to reap the same leg the moment it touches down: for that instant the leg is loaded and cannot move. You go straight back. Chin on your chest, held arm long rather than posting, and slap the mat with your free arm as your back arrives.

    VI judo notes

    Hook and reap are the same leg on the same line, so your leg never has to find anything twice. Their hop is felt as the hook going slack while their chest stays with you, and their foot landing is felt through the mat. Stay chest to chest as you follow, because a reap made from an unknown distance is a reap that misses.
