Okuri-ashi-barai
Okuri-ashi-barai is a spectacular footsweep. When you get the timing right the throw feels effortless. For more ashi-waza return to the judo throws page.
How to throw with Okuri-ashi-barai
Make uke move to the side.
Just as uke’s legs come together sweep them out from underneath uke. Use the sole of your foot. Keep the movement fluid and smooth.
Don’t forget to use your hands! Lift uke’s body upwards.
