Judo foot Sweeps : difference between Harai, Gari, & Gake...

[@fernandohsantos]

Great subject to address, Chadi. As I have learned, "Gari" is sweeping with our foot close to the ground, making with your foot a motion parallel to the ground level, associated with the motion of farmers cutting rice really close to its root, in a plain horizontal direction; "Gake" is hooking like if you would pull that rice plant from the ground, with roots and everything, so it's a hooking motion moving the hooking leg upwards a little bit; finally "Harai" or "Barai" is accompanying Uke's motion with your foot, both when Uke's foot (or feet) is rising from the ground or when it's just about to land. Of course, in competition, the motion is seldomly perfectly timed, and we see strength doing its part. But conceptually, that's it as I have learned.

Great video, as always. You've given me much to think over. I've taught and been taught that, from the perspective of a Jujutsuka, that in Ashi Nage Waza one part stops and one part moves. Gake, to me, is stopping the leg and moving the upper body as in tripping. Harai, of which I am horrible at, was stopping the upper body and moving the leg without weight on it. Gari was moving the upper body then moving the leg. Of course these are broad generalizations. Judoka of every rank have made me feel woefully inadequate in Nage Waza for many years a necessary ego check for which I am grateful.

[@MiniNinjasJiuJitsu]

Thank you, Chadi. Slowly but surely I'm learning the intricacies of these beautiful techniques. Osu!

[@iamthatiam49]

We usually explain that Gake is mostly hooking the leg with your leg. They do have Osoto Gake and O Uchi Gake as well. I actually thank you for breaking down the Harai throws. Keep up the good work on your channel.💪🏽👺

[@Chadi]

Thank you 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@isalehyan]

What many people call Osoto gake is actually o Soto Otoshi

[@aasserelzoghby6781]

@@isalehyan you can hook the leg from a far and hop nearer and nearer in both O soto gake and O uchi gake which makes it hooking technically

[@Chadi]

[@brentzur]

I really enjoy your videos! I try no to get too caught up in terminology, but I know that it is important when conveying an idea. That being said, I almost always throw Ko-uchi and O-uchi as a Harai (based on your description) as opposed to a Gari and when I throw De Ashi(like Ko-uchi and O-uchi) I am forcing them to try to put the foot down that I am sweeping like part of the description of Gari. On another note, Okuri-Ashi Harai's sweep is the opposite of this and you sweep on the recovery or rise when the feet are coming together. Some of these contradictions may be due to style or teacher, but I believe these techniques may be too complicated to describe by a simple name :)

Osotogari and ouchigari are not considered foot sweeps (ashi-barai). Kosotogari and kouchigari are a bit grey area, but are really kari-waza. When thrown with a good ashi-barai, it should feel like slipping on a banana peal or on icy pavement. Gari/kari is reaping like with a curve blade. It feels different. In a gake/kake, you break the foot loose from the ground as you drive uke past the leg. Where his weight is relative to his foot is important to telling the difference as well.

[@JudoImPott]

In addition: In the german system developed in the last century there exist forms like ko-uchi-barai and o-uchi-barai to differentiate between the options to throw o-uchi-gari and ko-uchi-gari. In o-soto-gari its a different story, because the throw does not work if not been done with the kuzushi at the forword-left/forward-right direction.

[@Chadi]

I know they're not foot sweeps, that's the point of the video, but still so many question arise

Chadi can you make a video about the belt level of each of the forbidden technique from the start till now. Ex. Morote gari in which belt level was taught?

[@Chadi]

I'll add it to the list

[@Sira628]

@@Chadi thnx

[@isalehyan]

I always thought there should be something called Ko uchi barai, ko soto barai, o uchi barai, etc based on of the foot has weight on it or not. The weight/no weight rule is sometimes unclear with particular executions of the technique.

[@Chadi]

Yes they seem like a grey area

[@jmcgonnell]

Interesting!

[@Chadi]

Thank you

[@nrwd2vcvv]

A note on the difference between Gari and Gake, at least how I learned to visualize them, Gari is like the sickle, when farmers are reaping the rice crops (so my leg is "cutting" the uke's leg), while Gake is like a hook, which wraps around uke's leg and then yanks it away. At least this helps me when visualizing how to execute these techniques. Pleas let me know if you have any other thoughts on this.

[@Chadi]

Yes that's how i see it too, but my question is we hook during o uchi and hop, why isn't it o uchi gake, inner reaps are a grey area

[@nrwd2vcvv]

@@Chadi oh. From what I understand, you're not supposed to hook during those, but people do it because of circumstances or comfort. In this case, I think it could be called o uchi gake, but is never actually called that way bc it isn't officially labelled that way yet. At least that's my point of view

[@Chadi]

@@nrwd2vcvv for example the kodokan only goes by ko uchi gari there's no ko uchi makikomi or gake.

[@nrwd2vcvv]

@@Chadi Exactly. Thank you for such a great video ☺️

I am learning Judo basics, but can we transfer judo skills into No-Gi ? The collar and lapel being absent is frustrating xD

[@JudoImPott]

Elbow, wrist, shoulder, back, neck can be used. Most techniques work also without gi :)

[@alLEDP]

One leg reaps can also be done by holding/catchig a leg. Actually a lot of sweeps, reaps can be done with different grips... you only have to experiment a little

[@Chadi]

OF COURSE YOU CAN, so many take judo into MMA

[@brentzur]

Collar -tie, Russian-tie(2on1), under-hook, and over-hook(Whizzer) can easily replace lapel grips if you practice this way.

[@jtilton5]

Old school Judo didn't grab the Gi. They grabbed the flesh underneath the Gi. One of the most common injuries in old school Judo was ripped off nipples.

[@ricardokerscher]

Hello, Chadi. How are you? You said that in HARAI there should be no weight on the leg that is swept. How is the case of harai-goshi and harai-goshi-gaeshi for example?

[@saihinadir]

White belt here, but I think that in Harai-Goshi you go for the rear leg as it comes forward while rotating the opponent's upper body down and sideways. I dunno xD

[@ricardokerscher]

@@saihinadir I am referring to the leg that is under the weight of the body. In the HARAI GOSHI technique we sweep the leg that has almost the body weight, and in the case of the HARAI GOSHI GAESHI technique, we sweep the leg that is ALL the body weight of the uke.

[@ThuyKobe]

@@ricardokerscher if you refer back to the Nage No Kata, Harai Goshi is done when the opponent dodge your Uki Goshi by stepping to the side. You then proceed to twist the body and extending the leg to stop him from moving further, thus throwing him. The leg in the truest form of Harai Goshi only touch the uke’s leg slightly as he flew past, as the uke’s weight is already being in the air at that point.

[@JudoImPott]

Good morning, folks! In Harai-goshi there is no weight on the ukes feet because of the kuzushi. When you do your kuzushi and tsukuri to throw Harai-goshi, the weight of uke is mostly on your hip in the moment of kake. Have a nice day :)

[@Chadi]

Harai goshi is a hip technique different from ashi waza, the sweeping leg backwards tends to lift the legs and hips up and you guide uke down with sleeve and lapel.
