Ko-uchi-gari,
is a fairly simple technique to learn, but requires very good timing to
make it successful. As with all techniques, this has to be acquired
by practice. (as previously mentioned in these web pages, all techniques
should be supervised by a qualified coaches i.e. BJA Club Coach or
above)
Position
and timing, you need to create some space when executing this technique as
below.
First of all, you should raise your
arm with the sleeve grip, and draw your opponent forward as animation
above. At the same time stepping back on that side by moving your foot in
an ark behind you. Almost before it is planted bring your foot on the
collar grip side across in front of you turning your sole up off the mat
and catch the back of your opponents forward foot before he brings it to
bare any weight, by pulling it in the direction of his step he then should
start to collapse to his back quarter, you should then start to press down
on his clavicle with your collar grip. Forcing him down and back by
pressure through his chest, at this time your sleeve grip should be
starting to push down and back. (your sweeping foot needs to travel twice
as fast as your driving foot at the back otherwise your opponent will
place his weight on the forward and make it difficult to sweep)
