Deashi Harai, often spelt Deashi Barai, is one of the original 40 throws of Judo as developed by Jigoro Kano. It belongs to the first group, Dai-ikkyo, of the traditional throwing list, Gokyo (no waza), of Kodokan Judo. It is also part of the current 67 Throws of Kodokan Judo. It is classified as a foot technique, Ashi-Waza.

Deashi Harai is also one of the 20 techniques in Danzan Ryu's (DZR) Nage No Te list.

[edit] Technique description

Graphic from http://www.judoinfo.com/techdraw.htm

Judo: Uke steps forward. Tori sweeps uke's forward stepping foot. Uke takes a hard fall. The technique is so simple and effective, it requires no kuzushi (off ballancing of uke) and can be done even without a hold on uke by tori. Extremely effective against "dancing boxers".

In The Canon Of Judo, Kyuzo Mifune makes the following two points. That the sweep works best if it occurs upon ukes weight transfer to his advancing foot, and if it follows the direction of the advancing foot.

DZR: Tori pushes uke back. As uke steps back and shifts his weight back, tori sweeps uke's forward foot, pulls him in (kuzushi), and guides him down a side.[1]

Demonstrated from http://www.judoinfo.com/gokyo1.htm, although if the distinction is made, looks a lot like DZR's Soto Gama.

Tournament from http://www.judoinfo.com/video8.htm, although if the distinction is made, this is really a good example of Okuriashi Harai, aka DZR's Okuri Harrai. It's often the case the techniques done in tournaments are fuzzy and hard to categorize.
