Kouchi-gari

Small Inner Reap

After breaking your opponent's balance to his right back corner, you reap

his right foot from the inside with your right foot and throw him backward.

riÅing is crucial. Reap the foot just as he is placing his weight on it. As

with kosoto-gari, ideally you skim the mat with the sole of your right foot,

and reap with your big toe raised. In any case, push your opponent's foot

forward, not upward, with the little-toe side of your foot brushing the mat.
