Also known as False Reap — the canonical term used on this site.
Training background: Descriptive term — the leg threads to the outside.
Descriptive — outside reaping leg configuration
Outside reap is the descriptive name for the false reap — flagging the outside-line reaping leg configuration that defines the position’s structural geometry.
Etymology. “Outside reap” specifies the reaping leg position (outside the opponent’s leg); the term distinguishes from the inside-reap configurations that close the hip from the centreline. The “false” qualifier in the canonical name flags that the reap-style configuration appears ruleset-aware-restricted in some contexts.
Mechanics. The outside-reap configuration positions the attacker’s hip outside the opponent’s hipline — the leverage produces leg-attack entries distinct from standard inside-reap ashi configurations.
Cross-reference. “Outside hook entry” is the alternate name. Full mechanical coverage on False Reap.
