Leg reap entry
Also known as The Reap — the canonical term used on this site.
Training background: Descriptive term for the entry movement.
Descriptive — entry via the leg reap
Leg reap entry is the descriptive name for the reap leg-entanglement when framed as an entry mechanism — the leg-attack entry that uses the reaping motion to commit the attacker into the position.
Etymology. “Leg reap” specifies the structural element and motion; “entry” attaches the entry-mechanism context. The compound predominates in instructional vocabulary that emphasises the entry-vs-position distinction.
Mechanics. The reaping motion drives the attacker’s leg through the opponent’s leg structure — the entry commits the hip to the inside space before the opponent can defend.
Cross-reference. “Inside reap” is the configuration-level alternate name. Full mechanical coverage on The Reap.
