Ouchi Gari
Ouchi Gari - Large Inner Reap
Ouchi Gari is classified as Ashi Waza (Foot/Leg Technique) in Judo.
Ouchi Gari involves breaking your opponents balance to the back corner, extending your leg in-between your opponents legs and "reaping" outwards against the weighted leg.
Here's a basic breakdown of how Ouchi Gari is typically executed:
- Grip: On the sleeve and high on the lapel.
- Kuzushi (Off-balance): Step forwards, placing your foot on the inside of your opponents foot, on the sleeve side. Using the lapel, break your opponents balance to the back corner.
- Entry: Bring your leg between your opponents. Keeping your foot on the ground, draw a circle outwards, reaping your opponents weighted leg. Use the lapel grip to maintain the pressure diagonally backwards.
- Execution: To finish the throw, drive your opponent into the back corner, using the sleeve and lapel grips to guide them on to their back.
Ouchi Gari requires precise timing, coordination, and proper use of leverage to be effective and can be easily countered if you are out of alignment when executing.
