Kakete

Kakete (掛け手) are leg tripping techniques.

### **Ashitori 足取り**

Grabbing the opponent's leg and pulling upward with both hands, causing the opponent to fall over (leg pick).

### **Chongake ちょん掛け**

Hooking a heel under the opponent's opposite heel and forcing them to fall over backwards by pushing or twisting their arm (pulling heel hook).

Wrapping one's leg around the opponent's leg of the opposite side, and tripping him backwards while grasping onto his upper body (hooking backward counter throw).

### **Kekaeshi 蹴返し**

Kicking the inside of the opponent's foot. This is usually accompanied by a quick pull that causes the opponent to lose balance and fall (minor inner foot sweep).

### **Ketaguri 蹴手繰り**

Directly after tachi-ai, kicking the opponent's legs to the outside and thrusting or twisting him down to the dohyo (pulling inside ankle sweep).

### **Kirikaeshi 切り返し**

The attacker places his leg behind the knee of the opponent, and while twisting the opponent sideways and backwards, sweeps him over the attacker's leg and throws him down (twisting backward knee trip).

### **Komatasukui 小股掬い**

When an opponent responds to being thrown and puts his leg out forward to balance himself, grabbing the underside of the thigh and lifting it up, throwing the opponent down (over thigh scooping body drop).

### **Kozumatori 小褄取り**

Lifting the opponent's ankle from the front, causing them to fall (ankle pick).

### **Mitokorozeme 三所攻め**

A triple attack. Wrapping one leg around the opponent's (inside leg trip), grabbing the other leg behind the thigh, and thrusting the head into the opponent's chest, the attacker pushes him up and off the surface, then throwing him down on his back (triple attack force out).

### **Nimaigeri 二枚蹴り**

Kicking an off-balance opponent on the outside of their standing leg's foot, then throwing him to the surface (ankle kicking twist down).

### **Omata 大股**

When the opponent escapes from a komatsukui by extending the other foot, the attacker switches to lift the opponent's other off-balance foot and throws him down (thigh scooping body drop).

### **Sotogake 外掛け**

Wrapping the calf around the opponent's calf from the outside and driving him over backwards (outside leg trip).

### **Sotokomata 外小股**

Directly after a nage or hikkake is avoided by the opponent, grabbing the opponent's thigh from the outside, lifting it, and throwing them down on their back (over thigh scooping body drop).

### **Susoharai 裾払い**

Directly after a nage or hikkake is avoided by the opponent, driving the knee under the opponent's thigh and pulling them down to the surface (rear foot sweep).

### **Susotori 裾取り**

Directly after a nage is avoided by the opponent, grabbing the ankle of the opponent and pulling them down to the surface (ankle pick).

### **Tsumatori 褄取り**

As the opponent is losing their balance to the front (or is moving forward), grabbing the leg and pulling it back, thereby ensuring the opponent falls to the surface (rear toe pick).

### **Uchigake 内掛け**

Wrapping the calf around the opponent's calf from the inside and forcing him down on his back (inside leg trip).

### **Watashikomi 渡し込み**

While against the ring of the surface, the attacker grabs the underside of the opponent's thigh or knee with one hand and pushes with the other arm, thereby forcing the opponent out or down (thigh grabbing push down).
