Step by step
The whole movement in words, so no part of it depends on watching a video. Described in the standard right-handed form.
Left-handed: these steps are written right-handed, as the syllabuses write them. Read every left as a right and every right as a left, and the throw is yours.
- From a right-handed grip, reap your partner's right heel inward with the sole of your right foot, as for Ko-uchi-gari.
- As the foot goes, trap their right arm against your chest or over your shoulder with your right arm.
- Turn your body into them and drop your weight forward and down over the leg you have just taken.
- Roll onto your right side as you fall, wrapping them over so their back reaches the mat first.
- They land on their back with the arm still held; continue the roll into a hold.
Receiving it
The heel goes and, before you can recover it, your arm is trapped and your partner's weight is coming down with you. It is a fast, low fall onto your back or side. Tuck your chin, slap with the free arm, and do not put a straight arm out to stop yourself; your partner's weight is arriving too.
About this technique
Ko-uchi-gari finished by wrapping and falling: tori reaps the heel inward and, instead of standing over the attack, turns and drops onto uke, rolling them over the reaped leg. A Kodokan side sacrifice, and a common finish when the reap alone will not put a heavy partner down.
Key points
- The reap comes first: take the heel inward
- Turn in and wrap the arm as you drop
- Land beside them, not on top of them
