Inside reap
Also known as The Reap — the canonical term used on this site.
Training background: Specifying the inside threading to distinguish from the false reap.
Descriptive — inside-line leg reap
Inside reap is the descriptive name for the reap leg-entanglement — flagging the inside-line reaping leg configuration that defines the position’s structural geometry.
Etymology. “Inside” specifies the hip-line position; “reap” attaches the leg-action category. The compound predominates in coaching contexts that emphasise the inside-vs-outside geometric distinction.
Mechanics. The inside-line reap configuration commits the attacker’s hip into the inside space — the connection denies the opponent the leg-extraction the reap is attacking.
Cross-reference. “Leg reap entry” is the entry-context alternate name. Full mechanical coverage on The Reap.
