De ashi barai (advanced foot sweep), 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-Nagewaza, of Kodokan Judo. It is also part of the current 67 Throws of Kodokan Judo. It is classified as a foot technique, Ashi-Waza.
De ashi barai is best performed at the precise moment that the ukes foot comes forward just before the foot is firmly planted on the ground, as their weight is being redistributed towards that foot.
The sole of the foot needs to be used by the tori, or it is possible to damage the side of their foot. The timing on this technique is the most difficult aspect — but it is still possible to throw the opponent if they have advanced the foot asn it is planted (but much more difficult).
