The Sneakiest Foot Sweep Anyone Can Do - Travis Stevens Basic Judo Techniques

[@bronstet]

This is the absolute best tutorial I have ever seen for the Harai Tsurikomi Ashi, either live in dojo or on KZbin. Thanks very much for this, Travis.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Wow, thank you! That means a lot!

[@Syrjis86]

Also, illegal. 🤷‍♂️

I just love all your semi-legal tricks! Gonna try them all when judo restarts: this footsweep, the grip where you take inside the sleeve, the grip break where you shoot with the elbow... This is all great stuff!

[@Metalguitarpete]

Not only an exceptional fighter but also a fine teacher. The breakdown of techniques and explanations are so helpful and clear. Thank you Travis 🙏🏻

[@samsteele4762]

Another great tip from a Judo expert. Very clear, concise instruction with no "umms" or "aahhhs". I already have one of your videos, love it. You are my go to for video instruction! Thank you for helping us.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Awesome, thank you! That means the world to me! Thank you for all the support!

Wow! What an excellent video! Thank you. You just made me realize something really important about my stand up game that I was missing.

Beautiful technique Sensei Travis, the details are impeccable. Nothing less from a legendary American judoka.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Wow, thank you! That means a lot.

[@jupitereye4322]

This is beautiful. What I like is how you orient the whole action throughout the video so we can see from different angles what is where, it gives a good understanding of the space and center of mass, and timing. Very good!

[@jeffmejia3556]

Stepping on an opponents foot is highly underrated. It’s the first dirty tactic you’ll learn in boxing usually by accident. Either you’re going to have your foot stepped on in an exchange possibly with you getting knocked down because as you tried to get out of range you couldn’t Or you’re going to score a knockdown because you accidentally stepped on the other guys foot as you threw your combo. After that it’s not always an accident. Most yokels have no idea and the first reaction if you’re not used to it is for them to fall to the ground. Super easy tactic. I like this. This on the other hand is a very nasty sweep. I’ve always liked sweeps that sweep both feet our from under. A much harder fall. They won’t spring back up.

[@mrnacirema4280]

nice

[@yakuza01]

Yeah I actually remember learning the whole step on somebody's foot and push them to make them lose their balance back in elementary. Of course, it was nowhere near as technical as you or the video describes. Frankly, it wasn't even with the intention to apply it for any fights but just me and my friends being jerks to each other, lol.

[@tarasbulba77]

I've watched this video several times and seems that I learn something new every time I watch 👍

[@LyubenHranovJiuJitsu]

What grips would you use for a nogi version of this one? This is just amazing

[@wushutaichiakademie]

Haven't looked through the comments yet, but it might interest someone: In chinese Shuai Jiao there is a move called Ji Zhuang, which looks very similiar but uses slightly different footwork. It's final execution is not so much a powerful sweep as seen here, but more to break balance and to bring the uke to the ground. I'm sure these two can be exchanged to some degree, very nice to see the similiarities. We always say: Same concept, different tradition. Cheers

[@ManofOneGod]

Keep that thing chong nonsense out of here. This is real fighting.

Wouldnt the opponent be framing with (in this case) right arm causing you to not be able to slide across his body to get your foot in place?

[@kentburgin8192]

Thanks mate. Would you consider demonstrating or at least explaining this technique for an r v l situation? Sorry, just being greedy since l'm a lefty!

[@yourjeepguy9514]

I’m a lefty judoka. The principle is the same. When they put their right foot forward, just step forward with left toe where Sensei Stevens showed in the video. Your left hand can be on their lapel on their sleeve. you are forcing them to bear your weight on that side. You step your right foot “courtsey “ step behind your left foot. Extend leg dead straight and use your foot like a hockey stick to lift the back of their Achilles’ tendon of the ground as you pull their sleeve or collar down to the ground. They trip over your extended leg and fall to ground. We call it the “sticker”.

[@goku-pops7918]

Could you break your opponent ankle if they do t move with it

[@ronin2167]

Definitely. Don't listen to this guy. It's dirty Judo and just means you can't get a proper Okuri Ashi Harai. Wonder if he knees his partners in the balls as he's doing his entry into uchi mata.

If you want to hear Travis instruct the foot sweep when he’s drunk, play the video at 0.5x speed

[@yannisdim.4924]

Great, detailed instructions! Is this a kosoto gari or a de ashi harai?

[@ronin2167]

Okuri Ashi Harai

[@randysmith2866]

Nice sweep, but you need to show the full technique at full or half speed at the beginning before you start breaking it down. It helps the student visualize the final product before you start explaining it.

[@robmoore423]

Not on a video. For videos the watcher can just rewind

[@PeterJames143]

it's very cool but i'm hesitant to do stuff that is a breach of etiquette in a fighting sport, like literally stepping on toes. Am worried about blowback from pissed off people who even when they're not pissed off like to do arm bars right up to the point where my arm might break before I have a chance to tap.

Is that stepping technique legal im competitions?

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Yep! 100% allowed

[@Syrjis86]

According to referees, no.

[@ronin2167]

No....but he would whine that it wasn't intentional if they did call him on it I'm sure.

[@ronin2167]

intentionally injuring an opponent is not permitted. Punching, kicking, and other strikes are not allowed. Touching the opponent's face is not allowed. Attacking joints other than the elbow is not allowed. Head dives are not permitted. There is a high risk of injury to your opponent...doing this in my view means you don't care and it's intentional. Also, the ankle is a joint.

[@PianoPatterns123]

You can actually step on a person’s foot and just push them over backwards with the greatest of ease, but if you do not release the pressure on their foot they will break their foot when they fall backwards onto the ground onto their back. This is Ninja stuff, not judo technique.

[@ronin2167]

This is shit Judo. Means your technique sucks and you have to resort to shit like this in hopes of getting ippon.

[@PianoPatterns123]

@@ronin2167 Of course you cannot do this in a judo tournament or even in sparring. It is a self defense tactic I learned when I was practicing Krav Maga, which is a special self defense system created by the Israeli military. There is no ippon in Krav Maga. There is only life or death.

@@ericr2617 you should take three seconds to google what de ashi barai and okuri ashi barai are.

[@Haolekine888]

Depends on how the foot is drawn. If foot is drawn in front of uke: De ashi. If foot is drawn into ukes other foot: okuri. If foot is drawn behind ukes supporting foot (highly possible with this as uke will likely try to draw the foot away) harai tsurikomi. Note: harai tsurikomi ashi is considered one of judo's most difficult techniques.

Hmmm. Stepping on people's feet is 100% old school grappling for WARFARE, but you should not be teaching it even for RANDORI. You can seriously maim people by doing this if just one thing goes wrong. Old school jujitsu techniques have a great deal of stepping on people's feet and then twisting their heads or the rest of their bodies... very easy to seriously injure the joints of the legs doing that!
