Leg Trip Takedown?

Question

I'm not sure what kinda takedown this is I think it might me judo. I was clinching I had one underhook and my opponents wrist out to the side. I created some space and pulled his arm straight, then I straightened his arm, and tripped his leg while using his straight arm to push his upper body back. It worked like a charm and I got side mount.

What is this called? How can I refine this technique. If he were to counter with a hook or uppercut, what could I do to avoid that and still get him down?

Answer 1

i have been doing judo for 2 yrs now and yes i think it is from judo it depends how you tripped him. If you tripped him on the outside on the right leg it is O SOTA GARI(major outter reap) if it was on the inside it was KO UCI GARI(Minor inner reap) if it was on the inside left left in was O UCI GARI(Major inner reap)but if it was on the out side left it was KO SOTA GARI(Minor Outer reap)

Answer 2

I've seen it and used it in my Hapkido class, but I'd have to get more information from my instructor as I'm not sure if there is a specific name for that technique.

but my main concern would've been if he was able to trap the arm(s) I was using in the side mount attack for his counter, or if he was able to try for a leg to body take down for an armbar position, because I have seen this happen before.

If I find out, I'll let you know if you haven't found out, or found a suitable answer.
