For me Okuri Ashi Harai really embodies what Judo is all about...maximum efficiency with minimum effort.
Yes, this video is a "How To..." guide to building up from shadow uchikomi through to a practical action/reaction application of Okuri Ashi Harai, but it is not the only way to learn this amazing throw.
This is one of the beautiful and at the same time, infuriating aspects of Judo, is that there are so many different ways to learn and apply the throws and Okuri Ashi Harai is no different.
This example is built upon a side to side movement pattern, however, if you've been learning Judo for more that 5 minutes, you'll know that your opponent will move in a variety of different directions.
The footage in this video is taken from David's coaching video, "Okuri-Ashi-Harai System || Fancy Feet" which is available on the Judo Fanatics website:
