Ko-uchi-gari/Makikomi
This curriculum entry links Ko-uchi-gari with a makikomi finish. Tori first attacks the inside of Uke's loaded foot; if Uke resists upright, Tori secures the arm and continues the same backward off-balance into a controlled wraparound action.
Movement sequence
- Shift Uke's weight onto the target foot and begin the inner reap of Ko-uchi-gari.
- If the reap stalls, keep the leg connection and trap the near arm as your torso closes to Uke.
- Continue forward and around into the makikomi finish without twisting Uke's knee or landing heavily on the torso.
- Maintain the controlling grip, guide Uke to a safe landing, and practise the action under qualified supervision.
