    About this technique

    The counter to Hane-goshi: before uke can complete the spring, tori reaps or hooks the leg uke pivots on, from the outside. A Kodokan foot technique, and one that rewards feeling the turn early.

    Step by step

    These steps describe the standard right-handed form without relying on the video.

    1. Your partner turns in for Hane-goshi, their right leg bending to spring across your thigh.
    2. Drop your hips back and lower your weight so their spring cannot get underneath you.
    3. Their left leg is the one they pivot on, and it is your target.
    4. Lift them and reap that leg to your left with your right leg, or hook your left leg round the outside of their lower left leg and reap it to your right.
    5. They fall onto their back.

    Receiving it

    Your entry is going well until the lift fails and the leg you pivot on is reaped from the outside while your springing leg is still in the air. You land on your back. Tuck your chin, keep the free arm ready to slap, and do not reach a hand back to break the fall.

    VI judo notes

    The attack announces itself before it lands: their hip turns in and a bent leg presses across the front of your thigh. Drop your weight the instant you feel the turn rather than waiting for the leg, or the spring gets underneath you. Find the leg they pivot on by tracing its calf with yours from the outside, and reap as soon as your legs touch.
