Description
Tori hooks the outside of uke's heel/ankle and, keeping it trapped, drives uke's upper body straight back over the pinned foot. The defining action is a hook that traps (gake) rather than a brushing reap — the foot doesn't get swept away, it gets held while the weight is pushed past it.
Common Applications
Loads best when uke's weight is already shifting onto that heel. Very common in no-gi scrambles and off a collar tie as an ankle trip; a natural follow-up when ko-soto-gari is defended. Also a common finish off a stuffed double-leg (morote-gari): from the front-knee position with hands connected behind the near-side leg, hook the outside of that same-side foot and drive through rather than lifting.
