Ouchi Gari Takedown (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to take the opponent down using the ouchi gari takedown. Lucas starts controlling the collar and sleeve. He pulls the opponent back using the collar grip. This makes the opponent take a step forward. Lucas takes a step forward and slides his foot behind the leg the opponent stepped forward with. He drops that leg to the knee and hooks the opponent’s leg. Lucas uses his leg to pull the opponent’s back, as he also uses the grip on the collar to push the opponent to the side. This takes the opponent down where Lucas lands in the opponent’s closed guard.
