GAKE
The Uke's supporting leg is hooked by Tori's leg, Uke is forced
to fall by the combined blocking action (of the Tori's leg) and pushing
of the whole Tori's body. Gari and Gake techniques are often
confused one with the other. But they implement different principles:
``to Gari'' is a dynamic action where the Uke' s supporting leg is
reaped away ; ``to Gake'' is a more static action where the Uke's
supporting leg is ``blocked'' rather than reaped or swept, and the Uke's
body is pushed down. In all fairness , the distinction between
a gari and a gake may be often elusive. Okada famous Ko Uchi
Gake/Gari (?) starts as an uprooting action of the opponent's leg,
but it is so commited to finish with a powerful reaping
of the whole opponent's body off the mat.
