Okuri-Ashi-Barai Rarely Seen (See Video Below)
Okuri-Ashi-Barai (or Harai) is a judo throw that I don't often see in competition.

I think you would mostly see Okuri-Ashi-Barai only performed in Kata today. But as a junior judo player, it was a gift at times.
Not done in the form it is presented here but rather in a circular motion. Perhaps it was not very sporting of me but I use to take great pleasure in leading my less experienced opponents in a circular motion, sometimes they would even fall for a sideways motion and because I had great timing in those days, I would just sweep them up and down they would go.
Okuri-Ashi-Barai is a timing Judo throw and takes a lot of practice which is why I think this version is great because it is in slow motion.
Random thought on Life, Judo Olympics, Judo Self Defense, The Art or Judo Kata, Judo An International Sport. Things that inspire or annoy me or things that I just had to write down.
