Harai-goshi-gaeshi
Harai-goshi-gaeshi counters a right harai-goshi. Tori prevents the hip load, hooks the left leg around Uke's lower left support leg from behind, and reaps that pivot leg to throw Uke backward.
Movement sequence
- Lower your center and keep space at the hip as Uke turns for harai-goshi.
- Keep Uke's sweeping right leg distinct from the standing left leg you are countering.
- Hook your left leg around Uke's lower left leg from behind and reap while reversing the grips.
- Maintain the controlling grip, guide Uke to a safe landing, and practise the action under qualified supervision.
