Kosoto Gari
Kosoto Gari - Small Outer Reap
Kosoto Gari is classified as Ashi Waza (Foot/Leg Technique) in Judo.
Kosoto Gari involves break your opponents balance to the back corner, and "reaping" your opponents weighted leg.
Here's a basic breakdown of how Kosoto Gari is typically executed:
- Grip: On the sleeve and high on the lapel.
- Kuzushi (Off-balance): Step to the side of your opponent, breaking their balance to the back corner, using the sleeve and lapel grip.
- Entry: Angle your foot, so as to reap your opponents weighted leg at the back of their ankle, in the direction their toes are pointing, with the soft, sole part.
- Execution: To finish the throw, drive through the lapel and pull on the sleeve, guiding your opponent on to their back in front of you.
Kosoto Gari requires precise timing, coordination, and proper use of leverage to be effective and can be used effectively as part of a combination and as an outright attack.
