GENERAL INFORMATION
This counter for ouchi gari is part of the
requirements for Junior 7
th
Degree and senior sankyu (3
rd
Kyu). It is a basic movement necessary for every serious
student of Judo. Consult page 22 of your Instructor's
Handbook for the Junior System to see where this fits into
the general patter of Judo skills.
After getting the feel of the movement, work on it
both in randori and by using the drills outlined at the end
of this Technical Series.
thrower starts in one place, drives against his opponent,
and keeps on going to throw to the rear in just about a
straight line. This is not true with the forward throws. They
require the thrower to start in one place, go to the
opponent, and then throw him back toward where the
thrower started from. The counter to the rear or straight-
line throws, then, is to get out of the way of the opponent's
drive and throw him where he intended to throw you.
DO NOT TELEGRAPH
Notice that Robey has not started, in the two
photos above, to make any move which would scare the
attacker off. His action during the moments when the
attack is coming is to shift his weight to the right foot to
free himself for the rapid action which will come later.
THE PLAYERS
The counter demonstrated here by Robey Reed,
5
th
Dan, member of the AFJA Board and National
Coaching staff, as tori (the thrower). Uke (the receiver) is
Len Carter of Charleston, South Carolina, one of the top
contestants and teachers in the south for many years.
NO OFF BALANCE
Further, you will notice that Robey's balance is
not broken to the rear. He cannot permit this because he
would then be unable to execute the most efficient
counter, which must be made before his own balance is
broken. True, there are other counters which can be done
even if the opponent breaks your balance, but this counter
is not one of them. The counters which are made before
the opponent breaks your balance are called by many
coaches: “Phase One Counters.” If you have to dig in a
little to resist the first part of your opponent's off balance
attempt be careful that you don't get faked out and thrown
to the front. In this counter, you can prevent getting faked
out by keeping your head up and shifting your weight to
the right foot, plus being ready for anything.
THE ATTACKER STARTS OUCHI
In the two photos above, Len Carter, on the left, is
launching an excellent ouchigari attack. Note that his chin
is down, back straight, and that he is leaning forward well
into the throw with a good body arch. At the same Robey
is transferring his weight to the right leg, getting it off the
leg that Len is going to attack.
AVOIDING THE STRAIGHT LINE ATTACK
Remember that the throws to the rear, and there
are only four in common use: Osoto, Kosoto, Kouchi and
Ouchi gari are all straight line attacks. That is: The

STARTING THE BODY TURN
In the two photos above you will see Robey
starting the body turn which will get him out of the way of
Len's attack. Robey's weight may seem to be leaning
forward, but in reality he is opening his body to his own
right front corner. Len's attack is a good one. He is
reaching deeply with his right leg, and has his head well
down.
By turning his body to the side to avoid the attack
and lifting and pulling, Robey has not only broken the
attack, he is forcing Len to stop the attack and put his
right foot back down on the round. When this occurs, we
have a perfect chance for okuri ashi harai. The okuri ashi
harai movment works best when you catch the opponent
just as he is changing his weight from one foot to the
other. Then, neither foot is planted firmly, and both can be
swept from under him. If both players stopped right here,
Len's foot would come down on the mat and he could
step back out again.
THE ATTACK IS BROKEN
In the right photo above, the attack is broken.
Len's lower body is still driving straight through, but his
shoulders have been twisted by Robey's body turn. From
here on Robey is in control of the situation. If you will look
closely at the left photo above, you'll see that Len's feet
are both off the ground. He is driving in very hard for the
reaping movement of ouchigari. At this point he can't stop
without a real effort of skill, and even if he stops, he is still
in a very weak position with one foot off the ground and
nowhere to go.
BALANCE BREAKING DRILL
At this point the instructor and students can learn
an important drill which should be used to learn the
counter up to this point. We have used this drill many
times in camp and in the dojo with both skill and beginner
Judoists. Have the players line up along the edge of the
mat in pairs. One man in each pair has his back toward
the center of the mat. The other man in each pair faces
the center of the mat and is the attacker with ouchigari
(who gets countered). Start the pairs moving in a line
across the mat, with the man who is going forward
making repeated ouchigari attacks. The player who is
moving backwards shifts his weight to his right foot each
time he is attacked, thus avoiding the throw. When this
point is reached in each attack both stop, withdraw, and
move again. When the pairs get across the mat they
come back with the other man, now going forward, doing
the attacking.
SHIFTING THE WEIGHT
By looking carefully at the right photo above you'll
see that Robey's right knee is now bent slightly with the
force of his turning movement. You can also see that the
gi across Len's back is starting to show wrinkles where
Robey is pulling. This pull is up and almost straight back
the way Len wanted to throw Robey with the ouchigari in
the first place.
FORCING A TRANSFER OF WEIGHT

 Ouchi Gaeshi
By performing this drill many times, each player
will develop the reflex of avoiding the throw rather than
merely resisting. This is an important point made by Geoff
Gleeson in his important book, “Judo for the West.” The
idea is that you move when attacked rather than stiff
arming alone. There is nothing wrong with gripping for
defense, but it is a dead end as far as counters and
combinations go. It merely postpones the day when a
stronger opponent smashes right through or under your
stiff arms.
SWEEPING WITH THE WHOLE BODY
Our Executive Secretary, Mr. Rick Mertens, once
recalled to me several sessions he had in Japan with
Osawa Sensei, who is noted for okuri ashi harai. Rick
recalls that Osawa emphasized that when he sweeps
okuri ashi harai he sweeps with his whole body. In the
right photo above you can see this happening with
Robey's counter.
In the left photo above you can see that Robey's
left thigh is actually under Len's leg and is lifting along the
leg even before his foot comes into action. This is the
kind of dynamic, whole-body movement which makes
Judo work.
ACTION OF THE ARMS
In the two photos above you'll see the snapping
action of Robey's arms and shoulders which makes the
okuri ashi harai counter possible. There are several
important points to look for here. First, the lift is not only to
the rear the way Len is going, but also up. Look at the
way the gi is stretched tight across Len's back under the
shoulders and you'll see how strong this pull is.
Second, Robey has his elbows down. It's
impossible to get a really strong lift with the arms
extended. To make your pull and lift stronger, the elbows
must go down and in, it's a mechanical fact which can't be
denied.
CONTINUING THE BODY TURN
The right photo above shows Robey continuing
his body turn toward the rear. Notice that he is still
sending Len's upper body straight to the rear in the exact
direction he was trying to go with the original ouchi gari
attack. The pull is still very strong, as you can see from
the tightness of the gi across Len's back. The elbows are
still down and locked in for greater power. It is the
shoulders turning toward the throw which execute the
movement.
Third, the hand action is the only result of a
snapping twist of the head and shoulders. Notice the
difference in Robey's head position from the second
photo on the last page to the left photo above. This much
change from one sequence photo to another means that
the movement was very fast and powerful.
DYNAMIC BODY ARCH
We commented above on the excellent technical
points made by G. R. Gleeson in his fine book. His the
National Coach of Great Britain. One of the most
important concepts he has developed is that of the power
of the curve of the human body. Gleeson points out that
Ouchi Gaeshi (JudoForum.com)

at the moment of maximum power the human body is
always arched, driving off one or both feet, with the chest
and head up and out. In this technical series the power
curve (we call it the dynamic body arch) is well shown two
times. In the first few photos Len's body is starting to arch
into ouchigari (see the fourth photo in this sequence).
The, as Robey breaks the attack and performs the
counter, his body starts to arch into its most powerful
position with the weight driving off his right foot and head
and chest up (see the right photon on the preceding
page). The important point for the instructor to remember
is that he must get the student to execute his throwing
movements by arching and driving at the moment when
he desires to develop maximum power.
Center. They should be far enough in so that they won't
go off when thrown backwards with ouchigari. Then take
the other half of the class opposing the players in the
circle and have them throw with ouchigari.
After each throw the whole inner circle of
attackers moves one man to the right or left and attacks
again with ouchigari, but this time the circle of players
facing in counteres the attack with okuri ashi harai. The
inner circle of attackers changes one man to the left or
right after each movement, but the outside circle stands
still. You can also work this drill with the left attack.
Hopping is another excellent drill for this skill. In
the hopping drill the line of pairs moves back and forth
across the mat. Those who are moving forward attack
with ouchigari, hopping into the throw with the leg hooked
behind the opponent's. Those being attack as they move
backwards hop backwards a few times and then snap into
the counter. This is an excellent drill for balance and
recovery of lost balance.
SOME EFFECTIVE DRILLS
The off balance for this counter, or the beginning,
can be learned very well from the drill described above.
There are also other good methods of practicing this
counter.
One method is to get one student out in the
center of the mat and have several others line up against
him. Each one then comes forward to attempt ouchi gari,
trying to throw if he can. The center man tries to counter
each attack. In this drill be careful that beginners actually
try ouchigari. Sometimes they are so interested in
stopping the counter they know is coming that they don't
even make ouchigari. Then of course the drill breaks
down because no counter can be execute.
Another excellent drill is to have half the class
form a circle around the edge of the mat, facing the
SUMMARY
The counter for ouchigari is a basic skill for all
Judomen. This counter is not the only one used, but it is
so common as to be the basic skill upon which others are
built. Practice it repeatedly until it becomes reflexive.
