Okuri-ashi-barai - Sliding foot sweep
Okuri-ashi-barai is the double foot sweep. I have used the word 'sliding' in the translation as I believe that this explains the technique better.
Tori lifts uke with the arms by rotating the hands out and in at the centre. Either or uke's feet is then swept to the other and through.
This can be better demonstrated by uke taking a step to the side. As the second foot makes the movement towards the first, the foot is then swept so that it slides quicker than intended and is followed through to take both feet. |
