[edit] Technique Description

The morote gari is not a diving rugby tackle or wrestlers shoot but a smoothly delivered reep of the opponents legs from behind the knees augmented by a shoulder thrust above the centre of gravity near the solar plexus. Care should be taken to have the chin tucked in to prevent the guillotine choke and the legs to be swept slightly to one side to avoid landing in the opponents guard should one follow into groundwork.
