How to do a Kosote Gake - Judo

In this judo lesson, you will learn how to perform a Kosote Gake (Small Outside Hook), a fast throw where you let your opponent fall outward over your foot. The Kosote Gake is often used when both opponents grab each other’s uniform. This instruction is for a Kosote Gake over the left foot. To throw your opponent over the right foot, simply reverse the steps. Find more judo lessons at Judo Main.

Description: Kosote Gake – Judo

  • Grab your opponent’s uniform with both hands and pull them closer to you.
  • Place your left foot behind their right foot (from the outside).
  • Then push your opponent away and to the left, so they fall over your left leg before they can step back to maintain balance.

Trainer Advice: Kosote Gake – Judo

  • The Kosote Gake can be performed very quickly, but timing is crucial. Push your opponent over your leg when they have to step back to maintain balance.
  • Practice both sides of the Kosote Gake (most judokas only apply one side of this technique).
