Kouchi Gari
Kouchi Gari - Small Inner Reap
Kouchi Gari is classified as Ashi Waza (Foot/Leg Technique) in Judo.
Kouchi Gari involves breaking your opponents balance to the front corner, extending your leg in-between your opponents legs and "reaping" inwards against the weighted leg.
Here's a basic breakdown of how Kouchi Gari is typically executed:
- Grip: On the sleeve and high on the lapel.
- Kuzushi (Off-balance): Step towards your opponent, breaking their balance to the back corner, using the sleeve and lapel grip.
- Entry: Bring your foot between your opponents legs and reap the back of their weighted foot in the direction their toes are pointing. Drive backwards through the sleeve and lapel grip.
- Execution: To finish the throw, continue to drive your opponent onto their back in front of you.
Kouchi Gari requires precise timing, coordination, and proper use of leverage to be effective and can be adapted to different styles and applied in a number of different variations.
