Standard De Ashi Barai

Gordon Ryan emphasizes creating movement first by either pulling your opponent backwards or pushing them forward to get them off balance. This forces them to focus on not falling over rather than defending their hands, which makes them vulnerable to the sweep.

Gordon Ryan advises not catching the foot when it's weighted, because you'll have no effect. Instead, monitor your opponent's footwork and catch the foot as they're shifting their weight and beginning to move.

According to Riki Judo Dojo, your pulling hand (hikite) should come down to bend your opponent forward, and you must maintain proper distance so that your arm stays straight rather than bending at the elbow.

Gordon Ryan explains that you step in and lift with a slight pop of the hips, eventually bringing your full body into it—as you lift, you pop everything up, then sweep the foot while your right elbow rises and left elbow cracks down over the hip to put your opponent down.

Standard De Ashi Barai is the classical execution of the advancing foot sweep where the thrower uses the sole of the foot to sweep the opponent's lead foot laterally as it advances, while both hands (tsurite lifting and hikite pulling) direct the opponent's upper body over the swept leg. The sweep is performed with a snapping motion of the ankle, contacting the opponent's foot at or just above the ankle joint and brushing it in the direction of travel.

The standard form of de ashi barai has been taught in the Kodokan curriculum since 1895 and remains one of the first techniques introduced to beginning judo students worldwide. Its emphasis on timing over strength makes it an ideal introductory throw for understanding kuzushi.

IJF: разрешён — Legal throwing technique; IBJJF: разрешён — Legal at all belt levels; UWW: ограничен — Legal in freestyle, banned in Greco-Roman (no leg attacks below waist); Unified MMA: разрешён — Legal throwing technique; ADCC: разрешён — Legal; FIAS Sport Sambo: разрешён — Legal; FIAS Combat Sambo: разрешён — Legal

Оценка опасности 4/10. Moderate — foot sweeps use timing over force; lower impact but head strike risk remains

Стандартная цепочка подготовки: Grip Setup (Kumi-kata) → Off-Balance (Kuzushi) → Entry (Tsukuri) → Execution (Kake).

Стандартные контрприёмы: Lower Centre of Gravity — bend knees and drop hips to make the throw harder to execute / Lift the Targeted Leg — raise the foot being attacked above the sweeping action / Counter-Throw — exploit the attacker's committed weight to throw them instead / Grip Break — deny the thrower their preferred gripping configuration.

Распространённые варианты: Forward sweep (sweeping the foot in the direction the opponent is stepping); Rear sweep (sweeping the foot backward as the opponent retreats); Combination sweep (chaining sweeps to both feet); Counter sweep (timing the sweep as the opponent initiates their own attack).

De ashi barai is regularly scored at IJF World Tour events and Olympic Games, valued as a counter-attack and as an opportunistic technique during transitions. Its scoring frequency increases at the highest levels of competition where fighters possess the timing sensitivity to exploit momentary weight transfers.

Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Sweeping upward instead of across — the foot should travel horizontally at ankle height / Not accelerating through the sweep — the foot must gain speed through the arc, fastest at the point of contact / Pulling with the hands before the sweep contacts the foot, which warns the opponent / Sweeping from too far away and only clipping the toes instead of catching the full ankle.
