Обзор
Standard Harai Tsurikomi Ashi executes the classical lifting-pulling foot sweep where the thrower lifts the opponent onto their toes with the tsurite hand, pulls laterally with the hikite, and sweeps the loaded foot with the sole in a sideways arc. [1] The sweep contacts the opponent's ankle or lower shin and brushes it in the direction of the pull, toppling the opponent over the swept support. [1],[2] Proper execution requires the thrower to coordinate the lifting hand action with the sweep so that the opponent is maximally loaded on the target foot at the moment of contact. [2],[3]

Эффективность
Harai tsurikomi ashi is effective because it combines active hand manipulation (tsurikomi) with the foot sweep, giving the thrower more control over the opponent's balance than a pure timing-dependent sweep. [1] The lifting-pulling action loads weight onto the target foot, making the sweep more reliable. [2]
Родословная
Harai tsurikomi ashi was classified in the Kodokan gokyo as a second-set technique, reflecting its position as a more advanced application of foot sweep mechanics combined with active hand control. [1]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Pulling and lifting with the arms to load the opponent over the shoulder or upper back
Joints Involved — Attacker's shoulders (loading point), elbows (pulling action), hips (turning under the opponent)
Force Vector — Forward and downward rotation — the pulling arm creates circular momentum while the body turns underneath
Kuzushi (Off-balancing) — Forward — breaking the opponent's balance forward over their toes allows the turning entry
Позиция и вход
From judo grip — Use push-pull timing (kuzushi) to catch the opponent as they step, sweep the support foot in the direction of their movement
From clinch (collar tie) — Push or pull to make the opponent step, sweep the stepping foot at the exact moment it lifts off the mat
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

Что говорят инструкторы
Standard Harai Tsurikomi Ashi combines a foot sweep with a lifting action, and its effective execution depends critically on proper biomechanical sequencing. Kaze Uta Budo Kai emphasizes that the common error among learners is firing muscle groups in the wrong order—typically engaging the hip and knee before the ankle and toes—which severely limits the technique's applicability and power delivery. The correct sequence involves engaging the toes and ankle first, then the knee, and finally the hip, allowing the practitioner to generate force even when the opponent's weight is fully committed to the swept foot. This biomechanical approach, achieved through conscious practice, transforms the technique from one requiring perfect timing into a tool deployable across a wider range of situations and defensive postures. Shintaro Higashi provides complementary instruction on grip and body positioning fundamentals, emphasizing lapel control high on the collar to prevent the opponent from escaping underneath, combined with sleeve control to pin and dominate the arm. Both instructors underscore the importance of controlling posture and positioning before initiating the sweep, though Kaze Uta Budo Kai focuses specifically on the mechanical firing sequence that defines successful execution regardless of weight distribution, while Higashi prioritizes the grip configurations and stance work that establish the dominant position from which the technique can be applied.

✓Grip the opponent's sleeve and lapel (or equivalent in no-gi)
✓Step forward and lift the opponent upward with both hands — pulling them onto the balls of their feet
✓As they rise, sweep their lead foot with the sole of your foot at ankle level
✓The lifting and sweeping must be perfectly synchronised — the foot leaves the ground because the body was lifted, and the sweep directs the fall
✓Drive the sweep through the ankle in the direction the opponent is moving
✓Continue the hand action through the throw, guiding the opponent to the mat
✓The throw should feel effortless when the timing is correct — if you are muscling it, the timing is off
Типичные ошибки
!Lifting the opponent but sweeping too late — they resettle their weight and the foot is planted again
!Not lifting high enough — the opponent must be light on the target foot for the sweep to work
!Sweeping backward instead of in the direction the opponent is falling — the sweep must follow the kuzushi direction
!Using the instep instead of the sole of the foot for the sweep
!Releasing the grip during the throw and losing control of where the opponent lands
!Over-rotating the sweep so your own balance is compromised
!Not drilling the timing at slow speed first — this throw is all about the synchronisation of lift and sweep

Часто задаваемые вопросы
What's the most common mistake beginners make when learning foot sweeps?
Beginners tend to rely only on ankle and hip action, letting the knee come in too late. Kaze Uta Budo Kai emphasizes that you must consciously point, curl, and bend the knee first, then engage the hip, to generate proper sweeping power.
Do I have to wait for perfect timing to make a foot sweep work?
No—if you build proper biomechanical structure into your sweep, you can execute it even when your opponent is flat-footed with weight down and actively resisting. Kaze Uta Budo Kai notes that understanding the correct sequencing of ankle, knee, and hip engagement allows the technique to work regardless of timing.
Why is it important to catch your opponent's foot when it's becoming weightless?
When executing a sweep with primarily ankle engagement, you need the opponent's foot to be just about weightless as you make contact so the sweep can function effectively. This is a key principle in foot sweep biomechanics according to Kaze Uta Budo Kai.
