combination
O-uchi-gari into Tai-otoshi
The classic back-then-front pair. The inner reap makes your partner post their weight backwards to survive; the instant that defence lands, their weight is perfectly placed for the body drop the other way.

Step by step
The whole sequence in words. Described in the standard right-handed form.
- Attack honestly with the major inner reap: your right calf hooks their left leg and your hands drive them backwards.
- Feel their defence: they pull back and press their weight forward against you to save the reap.
- Do not fight the defence. Release the reap, plant your right foot, and turn with their forward pressure.
- Step into the body drop: left foot back and across, right leg barred across their right shin, hands wheeling left.
- Their own recovery powers the second throw; they rotate over the barred leg and land on their back in front of you.
Receiving it
Posting your weight backwards is the only way to survive the inner reap, and it leaves you pressing forward into them the instant the reap stops. That pressure is the second throw: a leg comes across your right shin and their hands wheel you over it. Your own recovery supplies the power, so relaxing into the turn is safer than fighting it. Chin tucked, slap with your free left arm as your back lands, sleeve still held.
VI judo notes
The switch is felt, not seen: their defence arrives as forward pressure in your lapel hand, and that is the moment to release the reap and turn. Nothing is let go between the two attacks, so your barred leg lands against a shin whose position you already know. Attack the reap honestly, because a reap they do not believe produces no pressure to work with.
