@kungfuninja314 yea, a great sensei and a terrible uki.. He is standing with his wrong foot forward the whole vid.. And he should learn how to fall :s srry m8.. the instructions are gr8 th.
Also, i was taught to NOT pick up my sweeping leg ( same as teach ) , but if you watch videos of Yamashita and Tadashi Koike demonstrating O uchi gari, they do pick up they leg when they sweep. Can you please explain this as well. thank you.
In competition when you are attempting to finish a less than perfect throw, then many variations, such as a ken-ken type ouchi gari might occur, which will result in the "gari" leg becoming more of a "gake" leg and will naturally come up. The goal of ouchi gari is not to pick up the leg.
@ptnippon O Soto Gari and O Uchi Gari seem to come natural to me. More natural than any move in Judo I practiced (I'm a yellow belt). You seem to have a good grasp on counters and how throws/trips can me 'imperfect'. Can I turn an O Uchi Gari attempt into a O Soto Gari if my opponent moves his legs? It often gets confusing because I focus on not looking down at my legs too much. It seems like my opponents balance (kuzushi) is what I need to focus on. Let me know what you think.
@shumich Kuzushi is the most important factor of any throw. Ouchi gari into an opposite side osoto gari is a pretty common compettion combination. IE, right ouchi gari fails, then you follow with a left hand osoto gari

Thank you for the demonstation !
In the end you say Basic O-ouchi-gari .
Our teacher said the same when he demonstrated it differently.
and a Japanese sensei came to teach us and he demonstrated differently than any of you and he said basic o-ouchi-gari.
And then I said that Judo is like language accents. Different but the same.

Is it OK to reap the opponents leg more in the direction of his toes or more to the side as it appears here?

You don't want to drive fuly square into your opponent unless you are much bigger and/or stronger than them.

Great contribution, thanks for posting this. The only issue is with the camera angle, It's a little hard to see the grips and the leg motion.

Definitely one of the best ouchi gari demo on YouTube. I looked at another one and it was God awful. Thank goodness someone knows proper judo.
