Ouchi-Gari Combinations

Over the past few weeks I've been trying to put together a game plan, a series of throws and combinations that I can really perfect and pull off during randoori.

I've had some luck with minor foot sweeps, but upon reflection, the success rate is fairly low, i.e. I tend to get a reaction from my opponent rather than the actual sweep.

We have practised various combinations during the classes, and call me dumb but I've just realised that to be effective you really need to 'set your opponent up'.  This is where the foot sweeps are great.

I have therefore tasked myself with working on a couple of combinations:

Ouchi Gari to Tai Otoshi



Ouchi Gari to Harai Goshi



One of the successful throws during the recent grading was the Makkikomi, it only makes sense to to think about this as well, Ouchi Gari to Makkikomi:
