combination
Harai-goshi into O-soto-gari
The classic renraku-waza pair, and the one the syllabuses name: Harai-goshi turns them forward, and the moment they lean away from it their weight is on the back heel that O-soto-gari reaps.

Step by step
The whole sequence in words. Described in the standard right-handed form.
- Take your right grips and turn in for Harai-goshi, loading them onto your right hip.
- Feel them lean back and post their right leg to stop the sweep.
- Step your right foot down beside their right foot and turn your chest to face them again.
- Pull down with the sleeve and drive your right lapel hand up into their chin line so their weight settles fully onto their right heel.
- Swing your right leg past their right leg and reap it sharply backwards while your upper body drives the opposite way.
- They fall straight back; keep the sleeve to support the landing.
Receiving it
The first throw asks you to come forward over their hip, and leaning away from it is the sensible answer. It is also the trap: leaning back puts everything you have on your right heel, and that is the leg the outer reap takes. Expect a fast, flat backward throw with no pause between the two. Keep your chin tucked, keep the held right arm long instead of posting with it, and slap the mat hard with your free left arm as your back arrives.
VI judo notes
This pair suits gripped-up judo well, because both attacks use the same grips on the same side. The signal to change is their weight arriving in your lapel hand as they lean away from the sweep. Do not step out to look for the second entry: your right leg is already past theirs, so put the foot down beside their foot and reap from where you stand.
