"O - soto" in judo refers to a category of throwing techniques that involve an outward or major outer sweeping motion. The term is often followed by a specific modifier to indicate a particular technique within this category.
"O - soto" encompasses leg techniques in the ashi waza category.
One well-known example is "O soto Gari," where "Gari" means reap or reap-like action.
"O soto Otoshi" in Ashi waza involves dropping the opponent with upper body control.
"Osoto Guruma" in Ashi waza is a major wheel throw, utilizing the entire body for a rotational motion, distinct from the sweeping action of Osoto Gari. Each variation presents a nuanced approach within the Osoto family.
