    1. Hiza-guruma膝車 · ひざぐるま
    2. O-uchi-gari大内刈 · おおうちがり

    A knee wheel needs your partner to be on one leg with the other extended as a block. Stepping past the block and reaping the inside of their supporting leg takes it away.

    Step by step

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

    1. Feel the sole of their foot arrive against the outside of your knee.
    2. Stay upright, keep both grips and do not let them turn your shoulders.
    3. Step your blocked leg forward past the block rather than pulling back from it.
    4. Their weight is now entirely on their own supporting leg: drive their chest backwards with your lapel hand.
    5. Reap the inside of that supporting leg backwards with your own leg.
    6. They fall straight back; keep the sleeve and follow them down.

    Receiving it

    You are the attacker, and the answer to a knee block is simply to step past it, so expect their weight to keep coming forward into you rather than turning. Once they have stepped through, you are on your supporting leg with the other foot still stuck out as a block, and their leg reaps the inside of it. You go straight back. Chin on your chest, held arm long, and slap with your free arm as you land.

    VI judo notes

    Countering, this one is worth owning: the block itself tells you exactly where their foot is, and stepping past it keeps you in contact the whole way. Attacking, take the lesson, because from the gripped-up start there is no distance to hide in and a block that does not turn their shoulders leaves you one-legged within reach. Wheel with both hands the moment the foot lands, or do not put it there at all.
