De-ashi-harai countered by Ko-uchi-gari

Step by step
The whole sequence in words. Described in the standard right-handed form.
- Feel their foot arrive against your advancing ankle as they attempt De-ashi-barai.
- Lift your swept foot clear rather than resisting, and keep your grips.
- Put that foot down beyond their sweep and take their weight onto it.
- Their sweeping leg is still off the mat, so all their weight is on their supporting leg: push their chest back with your lapel hand.
- Reap that supporting foot inwards with the sole of your foot.
- They sit down backwards; keep the sleeve and follow them down under control.
