Leg reap in aikido
Leg reaps and trips
In a leg reap, the attacker uses one of his legs to reap one or both of his opponent's legs off the ground. Generally the opponent's weight is placed on the leg that is reapt away. This coupled with the attacker controlling the opponent's body with his hands causes the opponent to fall over. Common leg reaps are judo's Ouchi Gari, Kouchi Gari, Osoto Gari and Kosoto Gari. Similar techniques in wrestling include the inside and outside trips.
Somewhat similar to leg reaps, leg trips involve a hooking or lifting action with the attacking leg instead of a reaping action. The border between the two types of throw can be unclear, and many throws will exhibit characteristics of both reaps and trips. Common leg trips are hooking variations of Ouchi Gari and Osoto Gari along with Kosoto Gake, referred to as inside and outside trips in Western wrestling.
[edit] Hip throws
A hip throw involves using your hip as a pivot point to throw your opponent to the floor. By getting your hip in a lower position than your opponent's center of gravity you can easily throw them. There are several types of hip throws such as O Goshi, this throw is often taught first to novices as it is relatively easy to learn. A hip throw in Aikido or Sumo is called a koshinage.
