Strikes to the groin or to the front of
an opponent’s knee
Direct (Side Kick Style) kicks to the
front of a fighter’s legs
Over the hip throws: Using the hip or
shoulder to throw an opponent in any kind of judo throw or reap. Stepping
across, or in front of, your opponent’s leg with your leg and bringing
your opponent over your hip.
Stepping on a fallen opponent.
Twisting and pulling an opponent over the side of your body (and then landing on top).
Illegal Trip: It is not permitted to
position your foot next to your opponent and twist them over your stationary
foot. You must clear the leg as your opponent falls or it is
an illegal trip. An athlete CAN
spin or pull an opponent over the inside or outside of the leg and dump
him on the ground. However the leg being used to manipulate and dump the
opponent to the ground can NOT
stay in that position as the opponent goes to the floor. If it is set and
stays in that position, that too is an illegal throw (tripping). In other words,
the leg must clear immediately after the opponent is pulled or tripped
over the knee. Clear means that the leg must be moved out of the way BEFORE the opponent hits the
canvas. This means skipping the leg or slightly jumping to the side (as long as it is moved from the original
position). Strangely, this means an athlete can trip over a leg
but must move the tripping leg while the opponent falls to the ground, or
it will be deemed illegal and called a trip.
It is not permitted to grab an opponent
in the clinch and then sweep his legs out using the back of one's own leg
or calf. It is only permitted to KICK
(roundhouse or using the top
of your foot) an opponent’s legs out (shin, instep).
Lifting: It is not permitted to lift an opponent off
of the ground in any way to throw them.
Plowing: It is not permitted to take multiple steps forward after
catching opponent’s leg driving them into ropes
Intentionally falling on top of an
opponent to either strike with their knee or to intentionally hurt their
opponent, by making it look like an accident.
