    Ko-soto-gari into Mune-gatame

    1. Ko-soto-gari小外刈 · こそとがり
    2. Mune-gatame胸固 · むねがため

    The small outer reap drops your partner at your feet with you already facing their chest; kneeling straight into Mune-gatame wastes none of it.

    Step by step

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

    1. Take your right grips and reap the outside of their right heel with the sole of your left foot, driving their chest backwards with your right hand.
    2. Keep hold of their right sleeve as they fall so their head is supported.
    3. Follow them straight down, dropping chest first to your knees at their right side.
    4. Slide your right arm under their far armpit and bring your chest across their chest.
    5. Spread your legs wide, one forward and one back, and settle your weight through your chest.
    6. Hold with your chest rather than your arms, head up, and release the moment they tap.

    Receiving it

    The reap drops you at their feet with their chest already facing you, so there is no gap between the throw and the hold. Take the fall properly first, chin tucked and slapping with your free arm, then move immediately: turn onto your side towards them and get an elbow to the mat before their weight lands. Once their chest is settled across yours the hold is heaviness, and heaviness is patient.

    VI judo notes

    Keep the sleeve from the reap to the mat and the transition needs no searching at all: the held arm leads you to their side. Land chest first onto their chest rather than kneeling beside them and feeling for the position afterwards. The ground is where contact is continuous, so a throw finished into a hold is worth more to you than a throw finished standing up.
