The slow-motion on these videos is really helpful. Thank you!

You are very welcome! Thanks for watching.

Good details, I was taught the other way around against shorter and taller opponents but I´ll try these tips for now. Thank´s.

Thanks Nico, we hope it helps!

What I found helps me with this technique is the surite pushing. It adds power to the pulling hand and gets the rotation going.

Great video once again. First ashi waza I was taught and seeing more instruction on how it's done is always good since I seem to learn something new each time.

Thank you!

This is the first footsweep I was ever taught and it has always remained my favorite. Interestingly, my sensi always referred to it as a a foot block rather than a foot swerp, just like Sensei Riki. I find this waza to be immensely practical and applicable in a vast myriad of situations, and it makes for an excellent combination together with Osotogari. As always, this video emphasizes the essential nuances that spell the difference between success and failure in execution. I of course enjoyed the historical backstory of the waza that Sensei shared. I wasn't aware that this had originally been a maneuver against a samurai wielding a katana. Many thanks!!! 🥋 🙏🙂

Disclaimer: I am NOT a judoka, I am a wrestler and a Nakmuay. But this footsweep seems just like a sweep we commonly use in Muay Thai where we clinch and cup the outside shin with our foot. My question is ‘can you use the left hand(that you use on the elbow/sleeve) and collar tie the neck with it whilst going the same direction’?

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Yes. Before the judo go (uniform) was created, you gripped with your hands on whatever you could get. Experiment with various grips until you find the one that works for you doing the throw. Stay strong.

One of my favorite techniques. In high school wayyy before I knew anything about judo technique I mimicked this technique on a bully. And also used it on a guy who got into a pushing match with me, and when he rushed I very instinctively used it and he flew about 5 feet and landed on his hip. Huge bruise the next day lasted for weeks. I knew him and and his family, but we didn’t get along. His mom wasn’t happy with me.

[@RikiDojoUSA]

I didn't like it at first but now it's one of my favorites too!

"Whatever way you do it, if it works, it's a good waza." Take that one to the bank!

[@RikiDojoUSA]

Absolutely!

[@simbabwe2907]

No offense but i personally would classify this as Hiza guruma.I think that the punching action makes the throw a guruma(because it leads to wheeling of a fixed point).If the throw is accomplished d by lifting uke up and than pulling him down.Than i call this a Sasea tsurikomi ashi.Because lifting means tsurikomi.But hiza and sasea are so similar that i personally would say they are the the same throw on a continuum. So i realy liked the demonstration.
