Judo footsweeps in depth

Judo footsweeps in depth

Footsweeps are timing oriented.

I cover these three in this video: O uchi gari, de ashi barai, and ko soto gari.

Footsweep cue: Hips cannot hinge back when going for sweeps.
It's Like kicking a soccer ball.

Ko uchi:
Use your sleeve hand to guide your partner forwards to make them think you're going for a turn throw. As they step forward, attack ko uchi and "kick your soccer ball". Your collar hand goes to the chin.
Ippon-seoi nage ko uchi maki komi is also an option.

De ashi barai:
Circle partner with collar hand, and sweep partner's trailing leg. Engage hips for the sweep. Push sleeve hand across and wheel their body downwards.

Ko soto (to the far leg):
This happens RvR or LvL. Block your partner's leg at their far leg knee, slide the foot down and attack ko soto in a tapping motion.

Put all three together: Ko uchi - circle de ashi - far leg ko soto gari
Then attack your bigger throws!
