Ko-soto-gake

(small outer hook)

Technique description

Tori breaks uke’s balance straight backward, or to the right rear corner, and hooks the back of uke’s right outside ankle with the sole of his left foot, and scoops it up to throw him down.

 

Both sides grapple in right natural posture. Tori advances with his left foot, then his right foot, while pushing uke backward, and comes to a halt in right han-mi defensive posture. Uke responds by stepping back with his right foot, then his left foot, holds his ground, and pushes back and begins to return to a stable posture.

 

At this moment, tori lessens the pushing action of the right hand and pulls instead, so that uke steps forward with his left foot while pushing back. In time with his movement, tori lowers his waist, while still facing uke head-on, and steps his left foot to the side of uke’s right foot. He brings his right foot closer to his left heel, and, changing the direction of his right hand, lifts up, drawing an ellipse, while breaking uke’s balance to the right rear corner. At the same time, he pulls his left hand towards his left armpit and breaks uke’s balance in the right rear corner. Uke is unable to step his left foot onto the mat to transfer his weight, and thus it lifts off the mat. His posture becomes straight and rigid as he supports his body weight on the right leg, with his weight over his right heel as his balance breaks.

 

Tori supports his body weight on the right leg and, bending the left leg slightly, hooks uke’s right outer ankle from the back with the sole of his left foot, and reaps it up. He pulls uke up with both hands and throws uke backward.

 

Uke is lifted upwards, with a straight body, and is thrown backward in a large motion.
