Osoto Gari
Osoto Gari - Large Outer Reap
Osoto Gari is classified as Ashi Waza (Foot/Leg technique) in Judo.
Osoto Gari involves breaking your opponent's balance to the rear and using your leg to "reap" their weighted leg to throw.
Here's a basic breakdown of how Osoto Gari is typically executed:
- Grip: On the sleeve and high on the lapel.
- Kuzushi (Off-balance): Step forwards, placing your foot on the outside of your opponents foot, on the sleeve side. Leave enough room to bring your other leg through the gap.
- Entry: Swing your other leg through the gap, pointing your toes. Use lapel grip to break your opponents balance into the back corner, on to the leg you will reap.
- Execution: Bring your leg back in a smooth motion, generating power from your hip. The back of your thigh should make contact with the back of your opponents thigh. Drive through the lapel grip, guiding you opponent on to their back.
There are a wide variety of variations for Osoto Gari, including using a "top grip", "Ippon Seoi Nage" style grip, double sleeve and more.
