Osoto-makikomi (Large outside wraparound throw)

Summary

This is a variant of the Osoto-gari (Large outer reap) Waza.

Features of this Waza

The Osoto-makikomi (Large outside wraparound throw) begins as an Osoto-gari (Large outer reap), and then changes to this wraparound-and-throw Waza.

Waza details

Tori (Player executing technique) grasps Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) collarbone area with his Tsurite (Lifting hand), and grasps Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) below the elbow with his Hiki-te (Pulling hand).
Tori (Player executing technique) then brings his Support leg forward to bring his body next to Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack), and uses his Hiki-te (Pulling hand) to pull Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) sideways or downward at a slant along the line in which Tori (Player executing technique) is advancing. As Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) Center of gravity tilts, one of his legs begin to lift (float), with his weight then being supported by the other leg. At the moment Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) begins to tilt, Tori (Player executing technique) swings his reaping leg and reaps Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) supporting leg in a single sudden motion. Up to this point, this Waza is identical to the Osoto-gari (Large outer reap) Waza.
After reaping Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) leg and throwing him in the backward direction, Tori (Player executing technique) wraps Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack) around his own body and falls with him. Because Tori (Player executing technique) uses his own body weight to apply pressure to Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack), this Waza favors large-statured combatants.
This Waza is almost always used as a continuing "coup de grace" Waza when an attempted Osoto-gari (Large outer reap) fails to adequately destabilize Uke (Player receiving opponent's attack). Combatants should be careful not to rely so much on this Waza that they fail to master the basic Osoto-gari (Large outer reap) Waza properly.
