🔖 Technique Notes
Ashi Guruma, or "leg wheel," is a Jūdō throw in which Tori off-balances Uke forward or sideways, then positions a leg across Uke's body—usually around the thigh or hip—and rotates them over it like a wheel. Tori uses the arms to guide the opponent’s upper body while the leg acts as a pivot point, causing Uke to roll over and fall onto the mat. Unlike lower-blocking throws, Ashi Guruma emphasizes a rotational sweeping motion.
