Ko Soto Gake (Minor Outer Hook) is a basic throwing technique that has many variations. However, if you reach out with your foot and leg in attacking with this throw, your opponent can counter you (often with Uchi Mata). This video focuses on leading with your hip rather than your foot or leg when attacking with Ko Soto Gake.

This video shows a standard defense or avoidance move of hopping around an opponent’s throwing attack and countering. In this case, the defender hops around the opponent’s Tai Otoshi and counters with Ko Soto Gake or Tani Otoshi. Coaching by Steve Scott, Derrick Darling and Mike Pennington.
