How to Hit a No Gi Footsweep: De-Ashi Barai (BJJ/Judo/Jiu-Jitsu)

In this video I have the audacity to teach a no-gi de-ashi bari with Shintaro as uke (there’s no greater testament to our friendship and his humility than taking the falls for this one). Seriously though, we had a good time taking you through 2 variations of this critical footsweep, with an emphasis on using an ashiwaza setup to unweight the leg we’re looking to sweep. Remember that footsweeps can be directed either at the weight-bearing foot (like sasae) or the unweighted foot (like de-ashi). Timing and setup are of particular importance when you seek to sweep the unweighted foot, so we want to have a good initial attack. Both de-ashis start with LEFT VS. RIGHT with dominant head position and the underhook, connections that are a prerequisite for both these versions of deashi. Both attacks starts with an oichi-gari on the lead leg. In scenario 1, we hit the deashi on the far leg as he avoids the oichi. In scenario 2, we add a second step and hit the deashi on the near leg after chasing him down a little. It’s important to practice the footwork for BOTH uke and tori when you’re developing this move. Spend the extra time getting it down and the technique will show itself more readily. ⭐ ➡️ MY BIO (by J. Danaher): ⭐ ➡️ SHINTARO’s channel: === Like this video?
