    O-uchi-gari countered by Ko-soto-gari

    1. O-uchi-gari大内刈 · おおうちがり
    2. Ko-soto-gari小外刈 · こそとがり

    Escaping the inner reap loads your partner's outside foot. Reaping the outside of that foot answers on the opposite line, while they are still turned in from their own attack.

    Step by step

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

    1. Feel their leg arrive against the inside of yours as they attempt O-uchi-gari.
    2. Lift the attacked leg clear and step it behind you, keeping both grips and your chest upright.
    3. Their attacking leg is committed forward and their weight sits on the other foot.
    4. Drive their chest backwards and across with your lapel hand so that foot is loaded.
    5. Sweep the outside of that heel with the sole of your foot, in the direction their weight is already going.
    6. They fall backwards onto their side; keep the sleeve.

    Receiving it

    You are the attacker, and stepping out of your reap is only half of their answer: your reaping leg is committed forward and your weight has nowhere to go but onto the outside foot. Their sole meets the outside of that heel and sends it along the line your weight was already taking. You go backwards and onto your side. Chin on your chest, do not post behind you, and slap with your free arm as you land.

    VI judo notes

    Their leg against yours is the cue and their weight in your hands tells you which foot is loaded, so this counter is made entirely from contact. Lift clear and step behind you rather than fighting for the ground, then let the lapel hand load the foot before your own foot goes anywhere. Sweep along their line of travel, not into it.
