    Step by step

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

    1. Take your right grips and attack with O-soto-gari, reaping at the back of their right leg.
    2. Feel them drag the leg clear and surge forward into you to escape the backward pressure.
    3. Do not pull them back. Put your reaping foot down between their feet and turn on the ball of it so your hips cross theirs.
    4. Pull their right sleeve down past your left hip and drive your right hand around so their chest sticks to your back.
    5. Sweep the back of your right thigh up against the front of their right thigh, leg straight and toes pointed.
    6. They rotate over your hip and land on their back in front of you; keep the sleeve to steer the fall.

    Receiving it

    Getting the leg out of a major outer reap usually means driving forward, and that forward drive is the gift: their reaping leg comes down between your feet, their hip turns across yours, and the same momentum takes you over their thigh. The direction reverses completely. Do not try to stop mid-turn. Chin on your chest, slap hard with your free left arm as your back lands, and let the held sleeve keep your head clear.

    VI judo notes

    Their surge forward is felt in both hands at once, and it is the signal to turn rather than to pull. Bring the reaping foot straight down between their feet so the entry starts from contact and your hips find theirs without a search. Keep the sleeve tight past your hip: it is what holds their chest against your back through the turn.
