Technique description

In o uchi gari, the tori uses their leg to reap the leg of uke from the inside, while simultaneously using their hands to pull/push uke toward the ground.
In competition, the reaping action of the classical variation is sometimes replaced with a hooking or lifting motion, and the left hand can be used to lift or block uke's other leg while reaping the other.
