Ko Uchi Gari – Kōdōkan Jūdō

Ko Uchi Gari, or "small inner reap," is a Jūdō throw where Tori off-balances Uke forward or slightly sideways and reaps the inside of Uke’s near leg at the ankle or lower calf using the heel or sole of the foot, pulling it backward or diagonally while simultaneously controlling Uke’s upper body with the hands to complete the throw. The key is to target the weight-bearing leg from the inside, using a short, precise hooking motion rather than a broad sweeping action.
