Step by step
The whole movement in words, so no part of it depends on watching a video. Described in the standard right-handed form.
Left-handed: these steps are written right-handed, as the syllabuses write them. Read every left as a right and every right as a left, and the throw is yours.
- From a right-handed grip, step your left foot forward and slightly across, so your body comes close to your partner's front, then bring your right foot between their feet.
- Curl your right calf around the inside of their left leg, at the knee or just below, and reap it out to your right in a circular motion, in the direction their toes point.
- As the leg is reaped, drive with both hands down and back towards their left rear corner, your chest following.
- Keep your supporting left knee soft and your weight forward so you stay balanced over them.
- They fall onto their back towards their left rear corner. Slide your grip up the sleeve and support it as they land.
Receiving it
A leg curls inside your left thigh and hooks it out while your weight is pushed back: you fall backwards towards your left rear corner. Tuck your chin, sit into the fall rather than reaching back for the mat, and slap with your free arm. Never post your hand behind you straight-armed; that is how wrists and elbows get hurt.
VI judo notes
The reap is circular and travels along the inside of their leg, so let your calf find their thigh by contact instead of aiming at it. From the gripped-up start the moment to go is when their weight arrives on that leg, which comes to you through your hands. Keep your weight forward and the supporting knee soft, because a reap that misses takes your own balance with it.
