Step by step
The whole sequence in words. Described in the standard right-handed form.
- Take your right grips and attack with O-soto-gari.
- Feel them drive their chest forward into you to kill the reap.
- Keep both grips and turn your body to face the same direction as them.
- Drop low and extend your legs across in front of both of theirs, sitting down onto your side.
- Pull both hands down and across your own body as you drop, spreading them over your legs.
- They fall forward and across onto their side; keep the sleeve so the landing stays controlled.
Receiving it
Leaning hard into them to kill the reap commits your weight forward, and the answer takes the floor away sideways instead of backwards: they turn to face your direction, drop across in front of your legs and pull you down over the top. You land forward and across, on your side. Do not put a straight arm out to catch yourself. Chin tucked, slap with your free arm as your side arrives, and let the held sleeve keep the landing controlled.
VI judo notes
Their weight driving into you is unmistakable, and it is the cue to change from a reap to a sacrifice. Turn to face the same way as them before you drop, so your legs travel across their shins in contact. Because you go to the mat first and they land across you, agree the direction and the space beforehand and build the drop up gradually.
