The Osoto Guruma (literally: Large Outer Wheel) is one of the 40 original judo throws, developed by Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo. The Osoto Guruma is quite easy to apply and is therefore also suitable for street self-defense. This throw is classified as a judo foot technique (Ashi Waza). Find more instructions at Judo Main.

This tutorial is for the Osoto Guruma (Large Outer Wheel) to the left side.
