- 3 steps
Off-balance the opponent and reap their leg from the outside to trip them onto their back. Also known as the Foot sweep or the Osoto gari. Here is the exact breakdown from the DARCE app: 3 steps, the details that make it work, and the mistakes to avoid.
Step by step
- 01
Clinch up
Control the head and an arm at close range.
- 02
Step in & reap
Break their balance backward, step your lead foot beside theirs and swing your rear leg behind their leg to reap it out.
- 03
Drive through & finish
Turn the corner, drive your weight through them and come up in top position.
Key details
- Break their balance onto the heel before you reap.
- Drive the head and chest forward as the leg sweeps back.
- Reap with the back of the thigh, not just the foot.
Common mistakes
- Reaping before breaking their balance.
- Reaching with the leg while staying upright.
- Letting go of the upper-body control during the trip.
