Ashi Guruma
Ashi Guruma - Leg Wheel
Ashi Guruma is classified as Ashi Waza (Foot/Leg Technique) in Judo.
Ashi Guruma involves driving your leg across the front of your opponent and wheeling them over it.
Here's a basic breakdown of how Ashi Guruma is typically executed:
- Grip: On the sleeve and high on the lapel.
- Kuzushi (Off-balance): Step to the side, using your hands to break your opponent's balance to the front corner.
- Entry: Pivot around, driving through the lapel grip, as you extend your leg across the front of your opponent's knee, making sure to point your toes.
- Execution: To finish the throw, draw your opponent close using the sleeve and lapel grips. Twist your body around so that your opponent rotates over your leg.
Ashi Guruma requires precise timing, coordination, proper use of leverage to be effective and a firm leg to provide an obstacle to drive your opponent over.
