How to do it
Start from
Lands you in
- Grip sleeve and collar (or an overhook and an underhook in no-gi) and pull them forward onto their toes
- Turn in with your back to their chest and your hip across theirs
- Sweep your straight leg back against the front of their thigh while you pull them around and over your hip
- Keep hold of the sleeve as they land and follow into side control or kesa gatame
How it connects
Get it right
Key details
- Break their balance forward before you turn in
- The sweeping leg stays straight and hits the thigh, not the knee
Common mistake
Turning in with your hips short of theirs, so there is nothing to throw them over.
If they defend it
They lean back to block: switch to a reap such as ouchi gari.
